Entries this day: Early Emacs_can_do_svn Tramp Work test

Early

7:36am JST Friday 14 December 2007 (day 13778)

I intend to write in my novel now, and then catch the 8:44am train to Minatomirai so I can get a seat and write on the train on the way there (perhaps not until we reach Kikuna) and write all the way back to Shibuya.

18042 words now. Let's see how it goes.

Well, that worked rather well. I wrote over 2000 words. 20082 now.

Emacs can do svn

12:17pm JST Friday 14 December 2007 (day 13778)

Oh my god I'm about to wet myself! Emacs can do SVN!

And I drank 1.5 liters of OJ this morning, and haven't peed since I woke up!

Tramp

Okay, now Emacs does in fact, officially rule fo sheezy. I'm running my local emacs, and have just opened a remote file via ssh using tramp, *and* have run my days old calculatin' stuff and shtuff... Basically I just run a macro on my local emacs and the rest is handled transparently.

Put this in .emacs:

(require 'tramp)

/ssh:username@machine.domain.tld:/directory/name/file.extension

These can be given default values in .emacs:

(setq tramp-default-method "ssh"
      tramp-default-user "username"
      tramp-default-host "machine.domain.tld")

And it's allllll groovy.

Just a couple more tests before I switch my default to do journal files remotely like this. One: can it write 日本語 and send the characters properly?

Yes. Good.

And next, what happens if I try to save, but have no internet connection?

Hmmmm. That wasn't as good. It seemed to lock up emacs' brain for the duration of the internet outage (about 2 minutes), but once internet was restored, it recovered as if nothing had happened.

Work

Sweet. Got the big project uploaded, and everything seems to be working just fine. Pretty cool; I just uploaded 14 files including 4 new ones; it looks good.

test

Oh yes.

Emacs rules.  I'm writing this on my local machine, but using tramp, it's being saved directly to my
website via an ssh encrypted connection.  Fucking fantastic!
