Video editing on Emacs...!

This is getting crazy! Video editing on emacs!!! I mean, I use Emacs as editor, mail client and planner, but video editing!!! Anyway, here's for those who have got used to the keybindings ;-)

Both sides of the story...

I recently watched the video of Linus Torvalds talking about Git and also do some perforce and subversion bashing.

Here's the other side of the story from one of the subversion developers.

What's in a name...

Over the weekend I was thinking as to why our country has not progressed as much as we would like to. The answer has been in front of us all the time and I am proud that I have realized why!

The reason for our slow progress (if at all), is because we have been ruled by the Congress party for most of the 60 years after our independence from British rule. And the answer lies in the name of the party itself...

'pro'gress vs. 'con'gress!!!!

Debian Sid and speedbar

After using Ubuntu for quite some time, I decided to go back to my old favourite Debian. So I installed Debian Sid on my laptop Friday last. I'm an emacs user. So one of the first things that got installed was emacs-snapshot :-). Unfortunately I need to hack on Java for some days, so I went ahead and installed jde as well. I fire up emacs to do some python coding and I get this error --

File mode specification error: (error "Recursive `require' for feature `sb-info'")

I searched around the net and found out a patch here

According to the post, edit the file

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speedbar/sb-info.el

and put the line

(provide 'sb-info)

before

(eval-after-load "info" '(require 'sb-info))

instead of after.

After this:

M-x byte-compile-file /path/to/sb-info.el

This will generate the sb-info.elc, and since I'm using emacs-snapshot,
I moved this file to

 /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/speedbar/ 

Voila! Problem Solved.

Also, I read somewhere else, that this has been fixed upstream in the cedet CVS.
That might take sometime to trickle down debian sid, I guess.
