Just so you know, that I'm snowed under again and it's criminal not to share my blog laziness with all and sundry.
Another Emacs mail client/backend choice discussion that crops up regularly in gnu.emacs.help. If you haven't made up your mind, this won't help either but it sure helps in being more indecisive. I dunno.
Running up and down your C code while coding and want a better way to track and come back to where you last coded? Well, C K Kashyap seems to miss his vi keys and whaddya know? Emacs has some key bindings for that and more as you can see in the thread 'Tips for quick jumping back and forth'. Take a look for various productivity tips.
John Wiegley has been doing some wonderful stuff that might help people who are annoyed that Emacs hangs for 1.5nano/micro/milli seconds before resuming when sending out mail messages or calling unknown executables instead of writing elisp functions to do the right thing(TM). So he's gone ahead and posted async.el, followed by dired-async and again followed by smtpmail-async. He's using the new fangled github so all those of you clever enough to speak git, check it out.
Seeing so much stuff, yours truly went ahead and asked whether this feature,async, is going to be part of Emacs main and the man actually responded to my email! Amazing. For those chaps who thought Emacs Developers don't respond to feedback....tphthhp. I kid, I kid. (I should add, that all the Emacs-Devel people I have contacted, have responded to me or to the list whenever I contacted them).
John apparently never sleeps. When the whole world is turning into Big Brother, you are encouraged to rat out yourself (and others) by tracking all the email addresses you send and store them, for later....beatings prolly? Err...he's written gnus-harvest that needs sqlite to store all the email addresses compared to .mailrc or BBDB.
And I just noticed that Texlive 2012 is now available, thanks to this texlive post in comp.text.tex
That's it as I head back to my cave.
