linux

Yesterday afternoon I was working from home, Maddie was sick and Mommy could not take off so that left me to care for the bambino. I was in the middle of coding Salute The Veterans new site [to be posted soon] when my laptop stopped responding.

I just found one of the most handy features in Ubuntu I think I have ever come accross:

update-alternatives

I installed EMMS (Emacs Multi Media System) so I could play my music from within emacs. I use emacs-snapshot which is the latest beta version of emacs (interesting to note that the beta is more stable than most official releases of software that runs on an OS from Redmond, Washington, but I digress). I just sudo aptitude install emms. A few minutes later it was installed.
