/home/oddmunds/bin/macs
This is a tiny script that's handy when you use emacs a lot and would like to use emacs server and emacsclient, but does not like keep track of when the server is running and not.
#!/bin/bash
emacsclient -c $1 || `emacs --daemon && macs $1`
This tries to start with emacsclient (in a new window), but if there's no server running and it fails, it wil start the server and then start the client.
The result is: Only one command, that does what you want.
New Wordpress theme: emundo
Tonight I began tinkering on a new Wordpress theme for this blog. emundo as I call it is made to look like the way I've styled my GNU emacs. I got the idea while using emacs-w3m and thinking that ‘this is what my blog should look like’.
Looks
At the time of writing this emundo has a 80 character wide area for the main content. I use full width bars on the Header-2 elements to mimic frames. The theme prefers Terminus for main text and headers, but will fall back to default monospaced font. The Header-1 element uses the default serif.
The theme is based on my take on the gunmetal theme by David O'Toole for emacs. My take has less fluorescent colours, but is still mostly the same as the original.
Infrastructure
Also new is that I have wised up and now track the theme with git. I set up a github repository where you can wallop in the code and cheer me on as I improve it. You might fork it too if you like.
Moving forward
For my next trick I want to tweak the fonts, add a mode-line imitation at the bottom, expand for more stuff like tables and pictures.
