Sorry everyone! Didn't realize my laptop (with lid closed)'s mic was set as default till near the end of the hangout. :S Looking forward to next hangout! Thanks again to Sacha for organizing these.

PS. If anyone cares to chat sometime and trade experiences with audio/visual/game, or literate programming in Emacs, send me a line!... Perhaps we might even develop some eye/ear-catchy demos to present at the next hangout!

I wasn't sure, because sometimes people really do just have odd mic issues... =) Anyway, it was possible to figure out most of what you said. Thanks for joining, and it would be lovely to see any nifty demos you might have next time!

<f10> runs the command menu-bar-open ... menus in text/terminal mode. Mentioned last night (by Sacha). I discovered the function/binding by accident this morning....

Some of the audio is bad. I've noticed this on previous emacs hangouts. Anyway, what keyboard is he showing off with those extra buttons?

Hey Melling! Sorry about the audio. It's a Razer Anansi. Meant for gaming and allows for remapping of any key. Not the most satisfying feel for the key presses (saying this coming from a mechanical Das Keyboard) but the 7 thumb keys are gold if one is prone to sore tendons/wrists.

Here's what I was trying to say when discussing keyboard:

So many thumb keys! So envious. =)

Hi, I also need the osx alt key behaviour quite often and I just want to share my solution for that problem (see video at 0:22): I simply disabled emacs binding for the right alt key:

(setq ns-right-option-modifier nil)

My left alt key is my 'emacs' alt key, and my right alt key has the osx default behaviour.

This is kinda late, but for the SICP stuff, consider using Org's NoWeb functionality. That might be what you're looking for.

So I finally figured out (found a link) how to do multi-hop tramp:

Yup! And you can even add sudo and other methods to that. =)
