Emacs and VC AKA Version Control and an excessive list of handled backends — the 2016-01 update
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customizing-VC.html I am accessing files remotely from within Emacs through Tramp over mobile Internet. I just remembered, how many file checks Emacs’ VC library does, if you don’t cut down its list vc-handled-backends. For every single backend listed there “we” are doing a “repository check”. Maybe that’s fast in a LAN, it may even be rather fast…

another little software development project: create an Emacs style diary from the Atom feed of my blog(s)
http://Jochen.Hayek.name/wp/blog-en/feed/ The XML looks like this: each article on the blog is an “<item>…</item>” on the list of the Atom feed each “<item>…” has a “<title>…“ a “<link>…“ and a “<pubDate>…“ That’s all I need. Well … – WordPress truncates the blog article list shown in the Atom feed, and sometimes (at least) I want to…

EmacsWiki page quoted above Ever since I noticed, that in new Emacsen you are able (resp. you should be able) to view e.g. PDFs within Emacs buffers, I wondered why this does not work “on certain platforms”. Today I finally searched for…

migrating account details from “text table” file to XML file
I started the XML in 2007, with a couple of entries migrated from the “text table” file. And now in 2014 there are still far too many entries in the “text table” file, that is obnoxious. But actually I should have expected that. Having both files in parallel makes me every so often look for…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: what versions to choose in March/April 2014
After completing my recent “incident article” on emacs/tramp/win/putty [link], I thought I should prepare an article with a clear subject resp. statement. This is it. I sort of think resp. hope, that all currently released versions work together well. But PuTTY-0.63 breaks this expectation. “Windows 7 Professional” is set – because that’s the current company…
