TWM & CTWM

Two lightweight WindowManagers

These windowmanagers are perfect for use on a resource hungry system. There is some kind of zen-like beauty about them that makes me want to use them every now and again.

FVWM2


FVWM2 Configuration

I can't remember how many times I've started over from scratch with this one! I always misplace this configuration file but only after spending hours on makin FVWM2 do something cool. This time... Things are going to be different.

FVWM2 Config-File

I my case this file is supposed to reside withing the "~/.fvwm/" directory. Emacs inspired.

Fetchmail


Fetchmail is a commandline tool for downloading your emails from a remote server to your localhost. Since the graphical configuration tool never worked for me under ubuntu I was forced to manually configure fetchmail, this is not particularly difficult but I keep forgetting the proper formatting. so...

Emacs Configuration

Emacs - Edit MACroS

Emacs can be hard to handle at times. And I have a tendency to forget my personal configuration whenever I reinstall Linux so I'm putting my emacs-configuration on my webpage. For future reference.

Emacs Config-File

Quite a bit of it is probably just standard ubuntu-configuration. Look to the comments for guidence.

Avancez!

To the breach once more?

It has been a while since my last posting - the main reason for this is the fact that I don't have any readers... A natural consequence of not putting anything useful on the web ;-)

Lately I have been busy with what is called a "Tekniskt Basår" ( lit. Technical base-year) at Chalmers University of Technology. In a way have partly accomplished one of the goals set for myself in my cv. But I still have a long, long way to go, though!
