stumpwm is to window managing (tiling?) system what emacs is to text editing and conkeror is to web browsing. very cool. if i was on a linux laptop/desktop like i used to be, i would definitely use this. i’m even debating on quitting my mac os x for this (with emacs and conkeror). however, i… Read more »

i blogged recently that i couldn’t compile shell-fm on mac os x. hopped #shell-fm on the freenode, and talked to the author himself. the error i got was: cc -o shell-fm -D__darwin__ -Os -Wall -W -I./include/ -DLIBAO -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include main.c -L/opt/local/lib -lmad -lm -Wl,-framework -Wl,AudioUnit -L/opt/local/lib -lao -lpthread libshellfm.a ld: in libshellfm.a, archive has no… Read more »
