Emacs + Snippets

Posted by Gabriel Falcão - 16/08/09 at 11:08:16 pm

People use to joke on me about the fact that I use EMACS, some say that I even need to use my toes to acomplish EMACS commands, and so on…

But I keep being even more productive, and every day I figure out new ways to improve it.

I really use EMACS the whole day, I keep editing anything with this awesome editor.

This weekend I was starting a new project, and as I use to, I was needing to repeat  the same GPL headers at every file.

So I found myself questioning if it could be more productive than inserting rough templates on my files.

Then I found out this yasnippet, which is totally awesome, and made me be even more productive.

For those who also like emacs, I share my emacs configuration on github.

There is a screencast that I made. Is a EMACS snippet demo.

Bolacha, httplib2 wrapper with cookie handling and file upload.

I really like httplib2, but unfortunately it does not oficially support sending multipart/form-data.

So last Monday I was at work, and realized that I was needing exactly to make a http upload from within a python program, and also needed to make a session login right before.

I remember that I needed that before, but I could not find something simple and concise, yet pythonic and well tested.

So I decided to work on a proof of concept, 2 days after that, at last wednesday, I got really sick. I thought was just a simple flu, but I got even worst. Going to hospital, doctors found out I have sinusitis.

So since wednesday I am at home, having lots of damn medicines.

But the good thing is that I got time enough to hack

So I would like to introduce you Bolacha.

You can see de docs here

There is a debian package available here

The code is available at my github page: http://github.com/gabrielfalcao/bolacha/tree/master
