10 years as a Debian developer

Ten years ago, I joined the Debian project as a developer.

Google Contacts for Emacs

I finally finished a thing I was really missing: accessing my Google Contacts from Emacs.

OAuth 2.0 for Emacs

This week, I’ve finished my OAuth 2.0 client implementation for GNU Emacs.

My latest contributions to the Emacs' world

I spend too much time writing Emacs Lisp code these days. Unfortunately, the more I do the more I find new useful tools to improve my work-flow and save time for doing more Lisp. D’oh.

Naquadah theme for Emacs

Emacs snapshot Ubuntu packages

Code fontification with Gnus and Org-mode

Emacs snapshot Debian packages

Color contrast correction

I finally took some time to finish my color contrast corrector.

Elisp color manipulation routines

Last week, I spent some time implementing various color manipulation routines. The ultimate goal was to find a way to determine if a text in a certain color was readable on a background with a different color.

Org-mode and holidays

Org-mode has a nice option which allows you to show week-end days in a different color in your agenda. That means that Saturday and Sunday (when I do not work) are fontified with org-agenda-date-weekend.

Google Maps for Emacs: moving, caching and home

Last week, I worked on my Google Maps for Emacs extension. I’ve introduced a new format handling for locations which include the longitude and latitude. The initial format was just a string describing the location, which was obviously too limited.

Icon category support in Org-mode

My latest patch for Org mode has been accepted by Carsten today. It adds support for custom category icons in all views, like agenda or todo.

Transparent GIF support in Emacs 24

Last week, I wrote a couple of patches to add support for transparency when Emacs is displaying GIF images.

No more dashes in Emacs 24 mode-line

We all know the good old Emacs mode-line you got under every window. Since the beginning (a long time ago), it starts and ends with dashes. I’ve proposed a patch to remove them.

Enhancing Emacs mouse avoidance

Recent Emacs versions have a wonderful capacity to hide the mouse pointer as soon as you type and insert characters in a buffer. This is controlled by the `make-pointer-invisible’ variable, which is set to t by default.

Gnus and Gravatar support

This last couple of days I’ve been dedicated making Gnus… fresher.

Gnus news is good news!

As I already wrote too many times, I’ve started to use Gnus 6 months ago, and never looked back.

Emacs, Org, whatever the weather!

Another week, another Emacs extension!

Emacs and OfflineIMAP

I recently decided to use OfflineIMAP to synchronize my mails on my laptop. It’s a great piece of software, and allows me to read my mail while I’m offline.

Emacs, Google Maps and BBDB

Today’s fun idea was to put all my contacts stored into BBDB on a Google Maps’ map, using my Google Maps extension for Emacs.

Update on rainbow-mode

rainbow-mode had a big success and good feedbacks when I released it for the first time a couple of months ago.

M-x google-maps

Since I have started to use Org-mode, I though it was missing something to have appointment locations on a map. Of course, it’s easy to get a LOCATION property from an entry, and then browse-url on Google Maps.

M-x google-maps

While customizing Emacs this last weeks, I had the need to customize also the color theme.

Desktop notification support for Emacs

This last weeks, I’ve worked on implementing the Desktop Notification Specification into Emacs.

Announcing erc-track-score

A couple of months ago, I’ve started using ERC to hang out on IRC.

Announcing muse-blog

Digging into the fabulous world of Emacs and Lisp, I wanted to use it to build my personal Web site and my blog.
