Barcelona Roads
On our recent trip to Europe we drove north from Barcelona (which is in Catalonia, Northern Spain) to Perpignan (which is in Catalonia, Southern France). We had a nightmare of a time finding our way out of Barcelona. Now, a designer has created 25 ceramic tiles based on satellite images of highway interchange areas. The one for Barcelona should give you an idea of why we had so much difficulty. |

Accented characters in emacs
Emacs is a pretty good editor. Recently I’ve been hosting a traditional music show and I find myself needing to type accents for Irish and Scottish. This is of course in addition to the french accents I’ve been needing for years. I use the Mac OS X Terminal application and the system lets me enter accents using dead keys. I hold option and press e to set up an acute accent, then press e again and get é. This worked in the shell, but did not work in emacs. Now, emacs has lots of different ways to do its own keyboard entry, but I wanted my mac keys to work. To complicate matters, I use emacs on at least one machine running FreeBSD 4 which does not support UTF-8 encodings (the mac default). I have had success with the following combination:
Now I can type and paste accented text into the terminal application and thence into emacs. The accents come through OK and seem to save and email OK too! |

Photo Meme
Here’s a meme that sounds like fun. Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you’re interested in or curious about. It can be anything from my favorite shirt to my cell phone. Leave your requests as a comment to this entry, and I’ll snap the pictures and post them as soon as I can. Note that in my case “as soon as I can” could be in quite a while, but I think this might be a cool way to get new photo ideas. (But not everyone should make them impossible mkay?) |
