I am an Emacs weenie. I really can’t get much work done without emacs. I
have tried other things.

* vi/vim – I can use it and I try to learn a new command every once in a
while
* Textmate – mkay. But I like Emacs. Plus Emacs is free.
* Visual Slick Edit – The parts that are like Emacs are nice. Emacs is
free.
* Netbeans – Almost can be configured to work like Emacs.
* Eclipse – No. I. Just. Can’t. Do. It. Very. Sorry.

So I am making this post from Emacs. Carbon Emacs 22.1 on Mac OS X.
Using weblogger mode. It turned out to be easy. The hard part was
figuring out what the “endpoint URL” was supposed to be
(/blog/xmlrpc.php for this Wordpress blog). And enabling the Markdown
plugin. Yeah, that was tricky — had to click a checkbox.

See ya later lame textarea edit box and lame wordpress markup style. We
hardly knew ye.
