Emacs revisited

Taking time to reexamine my .emacs file and get things back in order. It is after all my editor of choice and I have been neglecting to fix up several of my old functions. And in the process, discovered some new features I am going to add. Will post it later.

GrandCentral

This seems like a grand idea :) GrandCentral has a service to combine all your phone numbers to one single phone number you can use which never changes. Sort of like using a gmail account as your primary permanent email account which never changes as you switch ISP’s, ect.

Designing Disk Images

Glad I stumbled across this site about MacOSX installation practices. Made me re-think how to set up my software installation. While I totally agree with the premise that app itself should be install itself as needed that could be problematic for the simpler kinds of apps like scripts.

So for now, in my apps, I will attempt to have the app install itself where practical and use drag install as secondary. Installers will only be used when I have to reach in with administrator privileges.
