Software

Here you find information on (hopefully useful) free software programs I've contributed to, written by myself or wich I just find great.

Older projects

This is a list of projects I was once worked on, but currently don't contribute to anymore.

Other useful stuff

Emacs

Emacs, the extensible editor and kitchen sink. I read my mail with Emacs, do all my coding and writing with it and even use it to create this website. Emacs has lots of add-on packages that make it useful for a lot of text-oriented tasks. I find the following packages especially useful:

  • Gnus, a great news and mail client
  • Org-Mode, which I use for making up my homepage
  • ERC, an IRC client

There is a lot of useful stuff about Emacs itself and Emacs packages available at http://www.emacswiki.org.

Git

After a long history of VCS switches (I touched all of CVS, SVN, GNU Arch, bzr, hg, git and darcs) I've now settled on git for my personal needs, after a longer afair with darcs, mainly because:

  • Good hosting solutions, which darcs lacks.
  • magit just rocks.
  • I like having more than one branch in a repo.
  • TopGit is very handy when dealing with multiple concurrent branches against a moving "upstream" repository.

I've hosted a few projects on github.
