  6. @CMastication It's just not worth it for me. I use a lot of different applications, so I don't want to master one outlier.
  7. @CMastication Yep. I could never get spell checking or printing to work. I like emacs, but it's seriously in its own world.
  8. @CMastication You can configure emacs around Ctrl-C, but that's only a small part of the Windows/emacs impedance mismatch.
  9. @nbarrowman Yeah, that's frustrating. On the other hand, there aren't as many exceptions as I expected there would be.
  10. RT @SansMouse: Use Control-W to close a document without closing its application.
  11. @divbyzero That's what I expected.

  17. RT @JohnPiper: C. S. Lewis and JFK both died Nov. 22, 1963. Too early, it seemed, for both. God's ways are not our ways.
  18. RT @colinhowe: New blog post "Hypothesis: removing manpower from a late software project makes it earlier" http://tinyurl.com/yavpdbh
  19. @jnswanson Good morning. You're up early. I suppose you have to head to church early to set things up?
  20. @oakenstaat I listened to his book on CD recently. I thought it might just be a rehash of the lecture, but it's different material.
