    If you find yourself in that part of the world, there's also a carpet museum in Kidderminster, and the Black Country Museum in Dudley. A little bit further north and then there are…

    I'm in the process of messing around with a new distro where things are not quite what I am used to, and the usual suspects have been pretty helpful there... except for when they j…

    `~/.XCompose` is your friend. I frequently input International Phonetic Alphabet glyphs, some polytonic Greek, some Spanish and some Old English. Nothing is more than three key-pre…

    Emacs Web Wowser for the most part, for me, and it basically works... except when it fucking does not. The modern web, as we all know, is all kinds of shit. Anybody here compile Fi…

    I am about 24 hours into using ghostText after losing a significant amount of effort to a distracted `C-w`. Browser tab gone; much swearing ensued. I was tempted to start logging m…

    I used to work in ITS looking after a few token Solaris boxen, and played a hand in inviting Stallman down to campus one year in the early-mid 2000s. I had pizza (appiza?) at Yorks…

    I don't mean to be boring, but Emacs has had a window manager for years, EXWM. Oh, and a browser, EWW. If you want Inception-level recursion, a virtual LISP machine is your friend.…
