The Emacs Operating System
Well, Emacs can’t really be an operating system because it doesn’t implement things like file systems, device drivers, and a TCP/IP stack. When we joke that Emacs is an OS, what we really mean is that it can replace many … Continue reading
Sacha Chats with Steve Purcell
Sacha Chua has held another excellent Emacs chat. This time, it’s with Steve Purcell. I’ve written about Purcell a few times and I’ve certainly stolen a ton of Emacs code from him. He’s got his fingers in an incredible number … Continue reading
Another Convert
Picking them off one by one…

Surprise!
An internal CIA board has found that its officers had done nothing wrong by breaking into the computers of senate staffers who were investigating claims of CIA torture. If you’re surprised by this you haven’t been paying attention. The government … Continue reading
