running Apple DOS 3.3.

For those interested in reliving the memories of Apple DOS.... This emulator is all written in javascript. There seem to be quite a few ROMs present as well to try.

I suspect it's easier and quicker to just download it from here (as I've been doing for a long while now with the prereleases): http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/

I've been using prerelease builds from this page for over a year now: http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/. Issues have been minor and obscure recently.

A great example of a game cover being lost in translation is Ico. First lets all go look at the japanese cover of the game.
Not bad eh? Okay are you ready for the american cover? I cringe every time I see it.

I use Apache::Mp3 to share my music. It's nice because I can easily password protect it with Apache (since we live in these wonderful RIAA sue-happy times) and it's just a standard http access to the music which means every client on the planet supports it. I use iTunes at home and XMMS at work and they both have no problems streaming. I also have a philips streamium in my bedroom which streams from my server as well (though it requires one more special server to get the playlists to it).

Installing it is very simple:
Just 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and then "install Apache::Mp3". It works on linux, and I even got it working on a Mac OS X beta a few years ago.

I also wrote an mod to Apache::Mp3 to transcode on the fly. So I keep my music in flac format on my server and all the different clients use different formats. My iTunes at home streams wavs from the server, the stremium streams 320Kbit mp3s (since I couldn't get wavs to work), my iTunes at work does 192Kbit mp3s and XMMS at work does 128Kbit oggs.

I'm pretty happy with the setup.

Since you talked about playlists, you can put up playlists and then download them whereever you happen to be. They'll just be a list of URLs to your server. iTunes and XMMS both support that just fine and I image most other music players do as well. And since its your local music player that is controlling the playlist you can randomize it, skip songs, etc. without futzing with the server at all.

It also has a "browse only" feature that you can see in action at http://music.porkrind.org.

With me it's the opposite: I use emacs for complex work, and vi for quick and dirty stuff

But I didn't buy a $3k titanium laptop so I could run an un-mouseable text editor in a terminal window (nor did I buy it so that I could install X and xemacs, so that's not a solution).

Speaking of Emacs, The OS X 10.2 Terminal as a option to use the option key to the Meta key. This is the first time I've been able to use Emacs with a real Meta key and it rocks.

1. Precompiled EMACS 21.1 on Aqua
2. Compile it yourself off the CVS tree.

There's a pretty decent Cocoa-ized version of emacs 21.1 at http://www.porkrind.org/emacs.

I don't think it uses variable-width fonts, but it's better then the terminal version, IMHO.

Try Andrew Choi's patched emacs. It's a bit flaky, not 21.2 yet, but mostly usable.
