Last week I shipped a YouTube section looper in Captrice, the guitar practice app I'm building.

I recently contributed a patch to tagref that makes it play nicely with Emacs org-mode files.

Rust doesn't have exceptions.

Last year, I implemented Plectrum, a Rust crate that maps lookup tables (a.k.a. reference tables) in a database to enum types in code.

My guitar practice app, Captrice is built using Vue.js.

Last few months, I've occasionally needed to run emacs on Windows.

This began as a paragraph in the previous article about recurring checklists, but it expanded to a point where I felt it deserved to be a separate article.

Based on my experience of building and maintaining professional and personal/hobby projects, I've come to realize that I often tend to prefer well documented checklists over automated scripts for recurring workflows.

I have been using emacs since 2011 and if git commit history is to be believed, I started customizing it almost immediately.

The first working version of tapestry was released a few months ago.

This article is meant for Rust beginners who are trying to wrap their head around lifetimes.

I am currently building a toy project to learn Rust and VueJS.

Revisiting emacs config after a long gap can be challenging.

I have made numerous attempts to revive my blog.

I recently finished listening to Blueprint for Armageddon, a podcast series from Dan Carlin's Hard Core History.

(This is the first post of the series I plan to write on some tools I have built over the last couple of years to help me in my day-to-day tasks.

I have been playing with Clojure on the side for a few months and these days I am trying to build a simple webapp using compojure, enlive and korma.

Couple of months back I enrolled for the Functional Programming Principles in Scala course taught by Martin Odersky on Coursera.

Last week we decided to use NaturalDocs for Javascript documentation at work.

This is going to be a rather long post (call it a tutorial if you wish), but in case you are a beginner I hope it will help you understand generators in Python and lazy evaluation and your time will be well spent.

Just moved my blog from Octopress to Pelican, another fine static site generator.

A few weeks back, when I was close to completing chapter 1 exercises of SICP, I had decided that after completing this chapter, I would take some time off it to learn Clojure.

Recently I have noticed a changing trend in the choice of text editor/IDE among my colleagues.

Note: I no longer use Octopress.

Ok.

Emacs allows bookmarking inside buffers so that you can quicky visit those at a later time.

In emacs, as we open files, a lot of dired buffers get accumulated.

Just learnt how to set and use Keyboard Macros in emacs.

Okay.

Recently, I have been reading a lot about Unit Testing and other stuff related to Test Driven Development.

And if you thought I would mention the channels of master guitar players then you got it wrong.

I remember when the first time I tried to learn some Javascript for accomplishing basic form validation, it wasn't as simple as HTML and CSS or even PHP for that matter.

Last month I spent some hours coding the popular game minesweeper in javascript.

Last week was one of those few weeks in which a lot of learning happens.

Last week I finally managed to set up a windows 7 - Ubuntu dual boot system on my home computer after spending substantial amount of time on the ubuntuforums.

For a change I am deviating from the usual programming stuff and a posting a music related update.

"The subject is fully clear but why does the text lack clarity?

Important note before you read further: The other day i found out that this wasn't quite the solution.

Following is an excerpt from a conversation between two developers - dev1 : Hey!

I came upon a method for filtering records using jquery and php.

Update: I have stopped using Eclipse and moved to Emacs Last friday as we resumed the daily knowledge sharing sessions at kodeplay, it was my turn first up and my topic for the day was eclipse & svn.

We all know how good Firefox is and if something works in FF and doesn't work in other browsers, we generally blame the others for not being as good.

Very often it happens that more time goes into testing than writing code.

Now this post has been in the drafts section for quite some time.. infact some posts which I started to write later made their way to the blog before this one..

It happens so many times that I need to code something to make the UI fool proof.

Note: This post exists for historical reasons!

Problem: Some browsers show links in the default color in spite of being styled in CSS.

Ah relieved!...

Imagine a scenario, For past one and a half month you have been working hard on your website, creating graphics in Ps, accurately positioning them along with all the other components using CSS and adding 100 lines of new code everyday... and then one day…
