Been hacking #Emacs again the past few days. Serious fun. Also: finally became a helm convert. Seriously
productive.—@ndw
@ndw Curious: what language do you write most of your code in? Are you doing that coding
in Emacs as well?—@avernet
@avernet Day job is mostly XQuery. I also do XML, XSLT, JavaScript, Java, Scala, and others.
#Emacs for everything but Java and Scala.—@ndw
@ndw BTW, if you're interested in digging into ENSIME, I'd recommend this talk by @fommil and @a_dev_musing. https://t.co/3AlYltY0BS—@avernet

Bah humbug. #Ubuntu 15.10 was going well until https://t.co/52Atc4FAVk More than 6mo old so probably DOA. Back to 15.04 I guess. :-(—@ndw

Found site that blocks highlight & copy with a © notice. I will not wish for them

Have officially given up on getting to #XMLPrague this year :-( Try to have fun anyway. And XProc all of the things, please.—@ndw
@rdeltour No. For unrelated reasons, I'm without a passport at the moment. Hoped it would be
back in time, but no such luck. C'est la vie.—@ndw
@ndw @rdeltour Let’s try to set up a hangout next Thursday (at 5 am central time?). Ok, bad luck.—@gimsieke
.@gimsieke @rdeltour Yes, I'm going to try to participate remotely. The WG will carry on regardless, I'm
sure.—@ndw
@ndw @rdeltour Who’s going to do the demojam? @_james_fuller or @innovimax? They’ll be great at that, for sure. But what a pity, nonetheless—@gimsieke

@shelleypowers Maybe that long for the parts that can recover. The things lost forever would...well,
never.—@ndw
@ndw Yes. Parks, forest, beaches, and entire species of animals. All gone, in four years.—@shelleypowers

@alexmilowski @_james_fuller We can make the XProc 2 syntax *more expressive* I know we can! https://t.co/VUBaoVBvbS—@ndw

.@_james_fuller No. We need clear rights to own in every sense the devices we buy.—@ndw
@ndw then we need to spend a lot more money educating people involved in the 'justice'
layer (judges, lawyers, lawmakers)—@_james_fuller
