http://www.unwoundstack.com Recreational hacking Tue, 14 Oct 2008 03:50:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Well, I'm feeling overwhelmed these days, but at least I've knocked one item off my todo list-- I've released a new version of VisEmacs.  You can get the installer here. Release 3.1 included support for Emacsclient, but I think introduced a bug-- the new configuration settings weren't being saved correctly (or ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=21 Sheesh-- I see I haven't posted since May. Well, I haven't died. Its just that I bought a house! Yes, news reports to the contrary, the housing market hasn't collapsed completely. In fact, those of us who've been sitting on the sidelines during the bubble are now jumping in ;) Anyway, between hanging ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=20 The San Lorenzo Valley's been socked in with fog & even a little drizzle the past few mornings. It was getting really irritating for me (I like it warm & sunny), but at least I drive out of it on the way into work. I took this shot ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=19 About eighteen months ago, I wrote an article about how to build an Add-In that would load itself into DeStudio 6.0, Visual Studio (2003 or 2005), and Office (2003). Like some other things I've written up, it found a small but appreciative audience (here, for instance). I'd hosted the article, along ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=17 I love rainy nights; they're good for sleeping, and they make for great views on the drive into work the next morning: http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=14 I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I sometimes want to know what dependencies will be introduced into my program by linking against a static library (on Windows). If I'm linking against a DLL, I can just run depends, which will tell me what other DLLs ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=13 This is another recycled post from the old blog. In any windowing library, the question is always how to connect instances of whatever C++ class is representing a Window, and the HWNDs that the OS actually uses. I was curious as to how ATL & WTL do that, so I did ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=12 This was a post from my old blog, which I'm just now getting around to posting here. I run Cygwin on my Windows boxes. I use OpenSSH a lot. I'd wanted to run OpenSSH daemons on my Windows boxes for a long time, but I've found it, ahem, challenging. One weekend, ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=11 Monday was one of those days where the weather changed four or five times on the way into work. It was overcast at the house when I left, but I broke out of the clouds in the valley into sunshine partway up Highway 9. This is a shot looking back ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=9 I also uploaded VisEmacs 3. VisEmacs is a Visual Studio Add-In that allows Emacs to be used as your text editor. It was originally authored by Jeff Paquette, targeting DevStudio 6.0, and it saw a lot of use. Time went on, and Visual Studio 2002, 2003, & 2005 came ... http://www.unwoundstack.com/?p=8
