Today I came across a great add-on for Emacs: TwIt. TwIt is quite simply a Twitter plug-in for Emacs with an optional mode. You can post tweets, follow your friends tweets, list your friends and your followers, perform searches, retrieve @msgs and direct messages, and even use multiple accounts.

This is great news for me. Now I can, once again, sink down into the comfortable lisp environment of Emacs and continue to live my life inside of Emacs. With Conkeror, Emacs, a good .emacs file and the right add-ons installed you really don't need any other software. Read more »

I've finally got gsmblog.net up and running on a new CMF. It's really a relief to get rid of the old crappy Joomla the site was running off previously. The new site has been up and running for a bit more than a week, and so far there seems not to be any major problems. I still have to do a lot of tweaking here and there, specially on the Norwegian version of the site. Unfortunately I've been knocked out with a fever for a few days, so I'm rather back-logged at the moment.Read more »

For those of you who are wondering what has happened to me, I've gone back to school. I've just started a two years masters program. And my masters topic is, *drum roll", handset localization in mobile networks. So I'm doing a master in the topic that has been my hobby for the last 10 year or so. Even though I at the moment feel like I will not have time to sleep for the next two years, hopefully I'll be able to be a bit more active here in the future. You will probably see some localization software here soon, and probably some begging for help collecting data too. Oh.Read more »

Yesterday I received a Neo Freerunner in the mail. I've spent a little bit of time installing the newest OpenMoko and also the latest QT Extended. So hopefully I'll soon start to write some apps for the Freerunner, and start writing some guides. Read more »

I have created a pipemenu for OpenBox allowing you to have a menu of your Opera bookmarks anywhere in the OpenBox window manager. When you click a bookmark in the menu it is opened in Opera or if Opera is already running in a new tab. To read more about OpenBox pipemenus and how to use them visit the OpenBox wiki.

I have a couple of Flic barcode scanners that have been collecting dust on the shelf for a couple of years. Last time I used these I was using Windows XP as my primary operating system. Just the other day I installed Tellico and decided to catalogue my huge collection of books. A barcode scanner sure would make my life easier. So now I needed a Linux driver for these fine devices.Read more »

There haven't been many updates here lately. I was on vacation for a month this summer, and after that I've been quite busy. I have however been working on a couple of great articles to post here. So in a short while there should be some really good updates available.This however is just a short update on what's been going on at quickmark.
