For purpose of reference: anti-alias Emacs
[is.gd/riyx] I know that there is Emacs, the ultimative kitchen sink. But I cannot stand rasterizedly looking fonts (anymore). So, I refused to give Emacs any closer look at all. Now, despite used to Kate, in indenting sources Emacs looks to be superior.
So, how to anti-alias Emacs, then?
Get a special version of Emacs: Add these [...]

Burden yourself with administering underachievements? — No. To be geek is fun at all and more fun than GTD in particular. Administering underachievements? Quit that.

William Dierkes of 5dollarwhitebox.org / theboxownsyou provides a helpful piece of documentation on how to roll your own gem. Although he initially states that finding straight-forward HowTo on that matter was hard (Sept 3, 2007), I found his posting helpful but confusing nevertheless.

So, say you have a something ready to release, [...]
lessons learned from the Twitter/Identi.ca bot development
First to admit it: I didn’t really dig into the underlying issues of Twitter or Identi.ca. However, while I developed that Twitter and Identi.ca bot framework, I came across some, I feel worth sharing:
Identi.ca looks like being on a good way. Their goal is to be a Twitter alternative. So they implement the Twitter [...]
Chatbots for Twitter/Identi.ca: A mini-framework in Ruby
The past few days I invested in developing a base framework for implementing service bots atop of micro-blogging services such as Twitter and Identica. The framework is written in Ruby and builds upon John Nunemaker’s Twitter gem.
As I never made a gem before, there’s no ready-made gem for it yet, though I’d love it [...]
December 2008 Ruby/Rails on Debian Etch install howto
As Ruby/Rails again looks broken — install approach figured out less than a year ago, again, does not work anymore — here’s a December 2008 Ruby/Rails on Debian Etch install howto. I just stumbled upon it and thought it might be helpful for you to be shared.
Note: The howto’s in German.
Note 2: I didn’t [...]
If business folks would only learn: Trying to hostilely take over a F/LOSS project fires back.
Too poor, history apparently is repeating itself. As what happened to other community-backed Free Software projects before, now seems to happen for TWiki as well. Back in April 2008 I had a look on a series of F/LOSS projects that got money-backed and then forked — Mambo/Joomla, Asterisk/Callweaver, Trixbox/PBX in a Flash.
And now TWiki.org/TWiki.net. Michael [...]
