emacs goodies

Ftrain.com has a bunch of productivity enhancing tips that can be used with emacs. I could not get the "search the web within emacs" working but I hope to write a shell script that will do the job and then call that script from withing emacs. I had found that link from this post by Merlin, called Calling all Terminal nerds. One of the comments there has pointed to the rockin' the emacs post, which points out how to use planner.el from Sacha Chua.

mp3 blogs

I knew that a whole different universe of mp3 blogs existed, but was never motivated enough to go out and investigate them. In my office, I have cycled through most of my music collection (I like to hear Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ministry of sound, Yahel(sp?) while working) and decided to find out what these blogs offer. A good starting point is Fluxblog. There is also MP3 blog Aggregator (however it does not show full postings and there are just a "lot" of blogs being aggregated). This article MP3 blogs serve rare songs, dusty grooves, points out some good mp3 blogs too. I have bookmarked the following sites

• Looking for askance
• Said the gramophone
• Royal music
• Music (for robots)
• The number one songs in heaven
