Emacs is almost infinately customisable; a fact I didn’t really get to grips with this fact untill I found myself on a Fedora Core box a while back with a net connection but without my favourite set of keyboard short cuts. This really brought home how just a few simple customisations can come to be relied upon.
Determined never to be caught short in such a manner again I decided to make my .emacs permanently available, providing I have a net connection that is.
After running with Fire as my primary IM app for the best part of a year, its finally been usurped by Adium. After running the two in parallel I found I liked the cleaner interface of Adium over that of Fire. I’d tried Adium in the past and found I couldn’t take an app with a cute little duck as a mascot seriously, but Adium just seems more polished than Fire and seems to be vastly more customisable.
So is it iChat or is it Adium? thanks to the iChat AV Extra, it’s almost impossible to tell.
We’ve had a cactus plant sitting on our kitchen window-sill for the last three or so years; it hasn’t done much apart from growing a bit occasionally. But after so much inactivity our unassuming cactus has decided to produce not one but three spectacular flowers. Based on past inactivity we probably won’t see anymore for a few more years so a photo seemed to be in order. Sunday was a slow day.
