I have been using Windblows Me now for a few weeks and it seems to be reasonably stable(insert system crash here!). Uncly Billy did, however, manage to give us a really good bending over though in that you can't multi-boot ME with Lilo.

I thought it would be cool to find out what kind of unix-y projects we are all involved in. What have you been hacking on lately? What are you going to do next? I'll start. I'm more of a programmer than a hardware tinkerer so most of my projects reflect that. I love "collaborative creativity". A while ago I had a mailing list I ran that was a bunch of people working on creative writing projects together. After a while I stopped that in favor of a website and started programming for it while I learned new stuff. It turned into a site where lots of authors write "choose-your-own-adventure" type stories together. It's called StorySprawl, at http://www.storysprawl.com/ - that version is done with perl scripts and DBM files. After that I was able to get another version of it launched on my employer's equipment at http://www.talkcity.com/StorySprawl - it uses java servlets and oracle, but unfortunately no one uses the site since they don't market it. I think it's pretty cool - there's a core group of people on its mailing list that enjoy writing for it and watching the stories grow (you can also map out how they sprawl). I mostly write new utilities for it. The next project is something that will actually generate a pdf document of the books to read when they are done. The other thing I've been doing with a friend up in Portland is audio dramatizations of the chapters at http://www.mp3.com/StorySprawl . Kind of a cyoa audio-book, like an interactive radio drama (except we need more sound effects and background music). I don't really use Linux for this other than gimp to touch up some images, but it's all part of the same project. I've had plans to do a new version of it for a while - php scripts with membership, cookies, mass moderation and voting to keep the chaff out, kind of like slashdot but different... but so far I haven't felt comfortable about hosting the site on my home network, which keeps me from hyping the site too much, which keeps it from being too popular, which is less reason to upgrade it... heh. Most of my other side projects included hacking a java applet that can plays Zork-type text adventures so you can save and restore within your web browser, writing a perl-based ear training course that generates midi piano jazz chords - 7 chords and 9 chords - for chord identification (it helped my girlfriend out with her tests at UofO where she's getting a music composition degree), and a php-based "to-do list" that can do nested items, meaning it knows when you can't do certain tasks until you finish others, and keeps them out of your way. Also graphs out a bubble chart. You can see it at http://muse.clipper.net/todo/ for a sample (feel free to add or remove items). My next projects are probably to continue getting friends together to do character voices for these audio dramatizations, and finding a way to upgrade StorySprawl the rest of the way, I guess. If I could find something cooler to do, though, I probably would. anyone else? Curt

A page for you to consider for the Eug-Lug Homepage
Hey Seth,
Last night one of the guys was asking about Emacs last night. Specifically
on how to do C++ editing, compiling and running c++ programs with Emacs.
I took the liberty to put the information into a webpage that can be tied
into the homepage for the club.
Please check it out and let me know if there are any discrepancies.
You will find the file attached.
Ron
Title: Using Emacs to Edit, Compile, Execute C++ Programs
Using Emacs to
Edit, Compile, and Execute C++ Programs
COMPILING C++ PROGRAMS
IN EMACS: Emacs can run compilers (CC, g++, etc.), directing the error
log into an Emacs text buffer. It can then parse the error messages and
visit the file where the error was found, moving the cursor right to the
line where the error occurred. You do not have the consistently quit Emacs
to compile at the shell/console level, and then restart Emacs. Learn the
techniques presented here-You will save countless hours of your time.
To Run a Compiler in Emacs.
Esc-x compile.Emacs assumes your keyboard has a META key (for
"Bucky bits"), but Esc is equivalent. Esc-x compile reads a shell command
line using the mini-buffer (at the bottom of the screen), and then executes
the command in a sub-shell with output going to the buffer named *compilation*.
The mini-buffer will prompt
you with a default compiler command (make -k the first time). Use
the standard Emacs commands to move the cursor and edit the command to
suit (e.g., just backspace over it, and enter the compiler command you
want). If you're editing a C++ source file, linuxrocks.cpp, then enter
the command g++ -o linuxrocks linuxrocks.cpp. At the next Esc-x
compile, you will be prompted with the compiler command you used most recently.
When the compilation begins,
the screen splits into two windows - the source file will be displayed
in one and the *compilation* buffer in the other. Observe the 'mode line'
at the bottom of the *compilation* buffer - it tells you whether the compilation
is finished, with the word 'run' or 'exit' in parentheses. (If you are
compiling on a very large system, and wish to terminate, use the Esc-x
kill-compilation command.)
"Parsing" Error Messages.
To read the error messages in order ("Parse"), enter c-x ` (control-x
backquote).The error messages are displayed in one window and the file
in which the error occurred is displayed in the other (Emacs will automatically
load any file necessary in a multi-file program). The cursor is moved to
the line where the error was found. The corresponding error message is
scrolled to the top of the *compilation* window. After studying the error
message, you can edit the line of code on the spot. Enter c-x `
again to process the next error message. If you would like to process the
error messages again from the top, enter c-u c-x `.
Recompiling: After
editing the errors in the source file, recompile with the Esc-x compile.
Note: you can repeat your most recent Emacs command with the c-x ESC
ESC; if the last command was the compile, this will repeat it without
re-typing the command.
RUN YOUR PROGRAM IN EMACS:
Use the ESC ! command to execute your program in the mini-buffer.
(E.g.) "ESC ! a.out".
OR: SUSPEND EMACS AND
RUN YOUR PROGRAM FROM THE SHELL/CONSOLE LEVEL. Suspend Emacs with c-z
(this resumes your terminal/login shell). Run the program by entering its
name as a csh command. E.g. if the name of the executable is linuxrocks,
as above:
% linuxrocks
Now, list your stopped jobs
by entering the jobs command:
% jobs
[1] +
Stopped Emacs linuxrocks.cpp
Note that your Emacs job
is listed as job [1]. You can resume Emacs by entering %1 as a csh command:
% %1
The following aliases will
streamline this procedure further; edit your .cshrc startup file to include
the following aliases:
alias
j jobs
alias
1 %1
alias
2 %2
alias
3 %3
Now, it's possible to check
your jobs by entering the command j at the csh prompt, and resume job [2]
by simply entering 2, job [3] by entering 3, etc.:
% 1 --Resumes
Emacs
Caution: If you suspended
Emacs to get to the shell/terminal, do not use the command "emacs linuxrocks.cpp"
to return to Emacs. This will start a second Emacs job, and is not what
you want to do. If you suspended Emacs (c-z) then resume it with %1.
NOTE TO LINUX AND XWINDOWS
USERS: HOW TO SIMULATE A TTY INTERFACE UNDER XWINDOWS
Usually, if you start emacs
under XWindows, it will start in a new window. To experiment with job control
in emacs (c-z, etc.), you'll want emacs to start in your console window.
To do this, enter the command "unsetenv DISPLAY". "setenv DISPLAY" will
reverse the situation. (it is also set in .login). Alternately, you can
invoke emacs with emacs -t 'tty'.
