Loving #xfce on Debian 7 vs what I'd seen of #gnome3. One exception: untabbed file manager (and pcmanfm is crashy)

Just realized a lot of my frustration in the !machineshop is that I'm trying to be a #factory rather than an #artisan.

I consider myself reasonably competent, but I just find the setup and operation of !emacs gnus to be incomprehensible

@drysdam Well done! You'll enjoy #TRAMP a lot. I would bless it if I were able to enter #GUD through it

@drysdam #Tramp is cool :)

If your process is to give me a spreadsheet to print out, sign and mail, then you type it back in, you are going to have expect some #errors

I've been burned by grep silently ignoring simple regexps (".+"? really?) for the last time. Any downside to aliasing grep=egrep?

I'm sad that there's no corewar/redcode/pmars package in !debian.
