* provide a preview of the new RnA (Oddmuse) WikiHive complex.

We watched the last movie in a series of three movies by Y�ji Yamada: Love and Honor (2006). Once again the movie is based on a novel by Sh�hei Fujisawa. And once again, I loved it.As in previous movies, there’s a reluctant samurai bound by love and honor, and there is but a single significant duel [..]

Another little Oddmuse configuration goodie. I use it on EmacsWiki. If you fisit a page Foo and it doesn’t exist, the page will say “This page does not exist, but you can create it now.”push(@MyInitVariables, sub { my $id = GetId(); $NewText = Ts('This page does not exist, but you can %s.', '[Self:action=edit;id=' . UrlEncode($id) . ' ' . T('create it now') . ']') if $id; }); And the way I’ve written it you can translate it, too.$Translate{'This page does not exist, but you can %s.'} = 'Dies Seite existiert nicht. Wollen Sie die Seite %s?'; $Translate{'create it now'} = 'jetzt erstellen'; ⇒ Dies Seite existiert nicht. Wollen Sie die Seite jetzt erstellen?I like it so much I should add it to the Oddmuse core.Tags: Oddmuse

So langsam ahne ich das Ende meiner Kurobano And The Dragons Kampagne. Am letzten Spielabend wurde ein Drache CR 18 mit vier Gehilfen CR 10 und diversen kleineren Freunden CR 6 niedergemacht. Ja, es zehn Runden gedauert – aber wenn die ersten Spieler dann Stufe 15 erreichen – was bringe ich dann?Ich glaube es ist langsam an der Zeit, die Kampagne zu beenden [..]

Yeah yeah, more .emacs goodness! Well. Simple stuff, right? So here’s the thing: In the old days, I switched buffers using buffer-list which is bound to C-x C-b. It does the job. Then I learnt about buffer-menu and bound it to C-x C-b. Time passes. People talk about ibuffer [..]

Another snippet from my .emacs on the Windows machine. I think I’m going to focus on simple pieces of code, rambling style, and lazy Emacs geek culture (unlike SachaChua’s impressive collection of Emacs posts, hehe).Generally I don’t want to mess with my machine’s locale because everything else seems to work so well [..]

Source : There is no doubt there are tight times for tech entrepreneurs in the US & UK right now, but there are substantive differences between the current climate and the big bust. Richard Waters of the Financial Times explores this in his piece Back to Bust? I'm quoted briefly on how things have changed [ [..]

I was browsing the net and somehow I ended up on Amazon. I decided to buy some dungeon tiles. Up to now we’ve been using A4 cardboard and a generic grid printed on ordinary paper in transparent sheet protectors with non-permanent markers as a battlemap [..]

Last Monday the party fought a mature adult red dragon owning a Chaos Diamond with the ability to cast Word of Chaos. The two non-chaotic characters (our healer and our damage dealer) were soon confused and ran away. This being a high-level fight including two bluespawn godslayers, two blackspawn exterminators, six redspawn arcaniss (all from Monster Manual IV) and about fifty kobolds (these provided the comic relief) taking about 10 rounds meant that they basically didn’t participate at all [..]

Another snippet from my .emacs file. The wiki engine I maintain (Oddmuse) is written in Perl. Some time ago I decided that CPerl Mode was better than Perl Mode. I don’t quite remember why.The important part is that C-h f calls up Perl documentation instead of Emacs Lisp docs [..]

The key to painless blogging with Oddmuse is easy page creation. In my Firefox, I defined a bookmark for http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/alex?action=new with the keyword new. Whenever I type “new” into the address field of my browser, I go to this page [..]
