Go Emacs go

Ivar Refsdal gave me a great link to a video demonstrating many of the features of SLIME and Emacs. I learned quite a few things from it. I highly recommend it.

I said previously that I wanted something to dim parens in Emacs when I look at lisp code. Enter parenface, which does the job.

Seems like I spend almost as much time setting up Emacs as I do writing code. But the good thing is once I set it up once it'll be set up forever.

    Brian,
    I'm in the same boat, and I just wrote a reference for that video. I got so frustrated rewinding it, trying to figure out what the heck he did, so I thought a reference guide would be useful. Take a look!

    This is quite nice. Thanks for writing it up. Much easier than watching through the movie over and over like I was doing too.
