So I’m newly dedicated to learning two new things: Ruby and Emacs. With Ruby also comes Rails of course

I just purchased kelsin.net so I want to get that site up soon. You can tell if you go there now that it only has a newly installed Rails default page loaded. I’m currently compiling another copy of emacs from the emacs-unicode-2 branch so that I can use emacs with pretty gtk widgets and xft fonts and work on the rails page. I’m very excited. It seems like the rails emacs comunity is pretty big and the rails emacs minor mode is supposed to be very hany. Very TextMate like which is a good thing since I don’t own a Mac. I have to admit, TextMate is the ONLY program (or thing in that matter) that makes me want a Mac. As soon as a version of GNU Emacs comes out that supports XFT and GTK without compiling from CVS, I’ll be very happy. I updated my Fedora Core 6 emacs package and I think it works and is usable by others. I’ll be posting it on Kelsin.net under my project pages very soon once I get the site working!

I also want to learn Emacs. I know the basics but I really want to dig deep. I did a lot of .el file downloading and installing today. Found a bunch of stuff about how to use emacs more effectivly. I wrote a (very very small) elisp function today to open the current buffer’s file with gnome-open. This largely helps by letting me preview a html file in firefox, but also can help in other ways. Right after this post I’m probably off to look for a wordpress plugin to handle showing code in wordpress

Tomorrow I also leave to start my first MIT Mystery Hunt. I’m expecting to have a lot of fun and I’m seriously hoping to be able to do a bit of coding to help out and solve a problem. We’ll see how it goes
