Dear Manager,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for approvimg my request to move my work desktop to a RedHat system. FreeBSD4 sucks donkey balls (as Eric Cartman would say). Linux is so super-sweet (even if it is RHEL)
Now to move my home directory.
Your sincere slave

Almost 2 months back, I got myself an ipod shuffle. After using it for
some time, I am totally in love with it. I can now understand why the
Macheads sell out their souls to Apple - the bargain is well worth it
.
I was thinking about why portable devices like ipod and mobile phones are so close to their owners and I came up with this list.
This list is just something to keep in mind when I am designing my Killer App (TM).
If you have not heard about
emacs
registers, you are missing a very powerful tool in your
arsenal. Think of registers as "clipboard" on steroids. I had been
using registers to store text -i.e. C-x r s a to copy
region into register "a" and C-x r i a to insert text
from register "a".
Today, while reading the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup, I came to know that you could save your current (emacs)frames layout to the register and then restore it back again.
`C-x r w R' Save the state of the selected frame's
windows in register R (`window-configuration-to-register').`C-x r j R' restore a window or frame configuration
stored in register R.Here is the email where I saw this.

C-x r w <some letter or number> to store a window layout and C-x r j <the same number or letter> to restore it. And there is no need to kill the compilation buffer. It gets reused anyway.

I discover wonderful things through webcomics. Today, I was reading this comic, where I saw a mention of Miyamoto Musashi. I checked out his wikipedia entry, where a I found a link to his book The Book of Five Rings and that is what I am reading now.
One of the thinking tools that I have learned from my manager is the Caf. Caf stands for "consider all factors" and it was invented by De Bono. I have started a wikipedia page on caf . Do add more to it if you know better or if you have any links further exploring this idea.
Nokia ports apache to Symbian , the name of the project is "Raccoon". The phone can serve as a web server. Check out their concept demos. I especially liked their Access to Core Data. They suggest "Mount a read-write view of the /Apache directory using WebDAV and edit your webpages directly.". Nice. Now I have to get my hands on a 6630 asap - just so that I can have a webserver running on it
