Beryl is going to be Coral.

http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=5484

Beryl was a fork of Compiz, but both converged. (Compiz plugins are running on Beryl.) This merge makes sense. I hope both teams with similar proficiencies to lead Beryl/Compiz successful. Coral is not official, yet. But, community seems to like it.

So far, So good with Xemacs

This time, I am using Xemacs for longer than the last time I tried. Especially, after exchanging Caps_Lock with Control_L. My last finger was relieved so much thanks to this. I would like to say that the machine is not properly configured for emacs if Caps_Lock insists to be 'Caps Lock' key.

For windows XP, Microsoft released a utility called 'Ctrl2Cap' for this purpose. I ran into somebody explaining regedit to do this. It was not only ugly, but also NT based. So, another googling brought me to microsoft website, which was the exactly what I was looking for.
Ctrl2cap must be installed from command line prompt. And it required reboot which xmodmap on Linux didn't require. Hey, what do I expect on Windows? I have decided not to compare Windows and Linux long time ago... If it wants to be rebooted, reboot the box.

One problem for this. I was using Windows XP from rdesktop connection. Windows by default does not allow to display 'shutdown' menu from rdesktop session. I just guessed if Windows have 'shutdown' command from the prompt. YEP, there it was. Rebooting windows from command prompt is reasonable command and it was there. I issued 'shutdown -r -f' and it rebooted without any pain. Xemacs on both of my systems.

opened an account in playtalk.net

Okay, you may ask 'What in the world IS PLAYTALK? ' Simple answer is another blog posting service. ( No. I am too much simplifying.. ) Another answer is that it is a community of people who connect each other by posting very short comments.

Why is that? Well.. sometimes I may not want to post full blown blog entry for many reason. But, leaving a log for this shortly can be done in this website. Input method is not only from a computer but also from a cell phone.

You may say, 'Hey, it is Korean.' Sorry, I still speak in Korean. Looked in carefully, you may find a link called 'international'. They try to be English friendly, but how good will depend on their contribution to keep it up.

Yet, another IDE

I have been looking and comparing Xemacs and Eclipse. Now, I am bringing up another one.
The title seems very weak, but I was very impressed by spe.

While I was playing with spe, I wondered 'what spe stands for?' So, I clicked on about menu. There it says Stani's Python Editor. Okay. I clicked on the Homepage hyper link, and I got Error and googled it and found http://pythonide.blogspot.com/
Interesting tool like this have wrong link brought some sympathy for short, but later I guessed if it is supported by blender, then not so bad.
I found this when I was searching for PyCrust. spe uses PyCrust integrated. The biggest advantage of spe is evaluator. The reason why I love python is, I feel very comfortable with Python. Everything looks easy with it. But, still I needed to look up pydoc many times just for function signature. My short term memory is pretty at idiotic level. :(
What spe makes me excited is, at least, I can reduce time for looking up function header. Its editor uses space over tab character for indentation. 'Copy and paste'able to Xemacs. Nice...

Mylar

I ran into this project when I was googling about making Xemacs IDE environment.

Eclipse is a heavy-weight, but very feature rich framework for developers. Eclipse provides very nice view for Java developers. However, they provide C/C++ (CDT), Python (PyDev), and basically all plugins for all languages. I am sure that I can find some plugin which somebody made for some reasonable reason.

Mylar is an eclipse plugin and it gives a different perspective when watching a source code in BIG project. I lost demo presentation clip link, but it can be found very easily at mylar home. I installed eclipse 3.2 and tested Mylar quickly. Hyper link from a source code is a nice feature but, it was not available in 3.2. They said it is available in 3.3. I stopped research at this point, because I have many jobs to finish. But, definitely, this is worth learning.

Emacs..

I am a vim user. I have been using Vim since the beginning of my linux life. About 2 years ago, I started to get interest on emacs, but I have never had a chance to approach to it. Partly because of busy tasks always drew me back to vim to get the job done. Partly because I am lazy... And I never stick to Emacs for more than 3 days.

Now I am trying to get Emacs once again. I installed Xemacs and got a annoying terminal bell when I made a mistake on the editor. A temptation to go back to vim.. But, I googled and set the visual bell. It is annoyingly in complicated place like:

Options -> Advanced(Customize) -> Emacs -> Environment -> Sound -> Visual Bell

And I suffered to toggle the value to non-nil. What made this application one of the best editor in opensource group? Sure, I saw too many configurable places which I have no idea. Let's try to stick to Xemacs for a while and see why it is a good editor!

Windows compatible OS in Open Source

I have run into an interesting project called, ReactOS. Different from wine, it provides a full OS like linux, but interestingly it is Windows compatible in binary level (binary executables and device drivers, too!! ) . This sounds like a good alternative when Microsoft stop supporting WinXP.
