Main Page http://www.jemarch.net/index.html en-us Emacs Muse go://jemarch http://www.jemarch.net/index.html#go%3A%2F%2Fjemarch After reading about Social DNS I finally decided to create a go://jemarch domain for this website. Social DNS seems to be a quite interesting distributed, internationalized and non-organization-controlled alternative to DNS, despite it seems to be in its first stages.

There is a plugin for Firefox to browse the go: domains. I am looking forward for w3m support for Social DNS (why to open a Firefox if you can comfortably browse the web using Emacs? ;)).

Thanks to Juan Anel for sharing the existence of Social DNS in GNUticias.

It is late in the night and I am currently working in the stream module in the base layer of the library.
hacking GNU PDF

Music is playing and the ideas fly from the paper to the Emacs buffer.. the ISO 32000 spec stand in the table showing me what to do.

And the fucking cat is, as always, in the middle of everything.

Marchesi Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:00:00 CEST http://www.jemarch.net/index.html#Hacking%20GNU%20PDF New version of jem-pkg http://www.jemarch.net/index.html#New%20version%20of%20jem%2Dpkg Surprising enough I got a bug report for JemPkg from my friend Thales. He was trying to run JemPkg 0.0.3 without success, since there is a stupid bug in the first 20 lines of the source files that prevents emacs to successful load the program.

So I just fixed the stupid bug and uploaded a new version: JemPkg 0.0.4.

What are the implications regarding Free Software?.. unfortunately, almost nothing.

Richard M. Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, has written a quite interesting article in BBC News online titled It's not the Gates, it's the bars.

You can find the article in http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7487060.stm.

Please share this link with your friends and family, and post it to any blogs, link sharing or social sites you think may find it interesting.

Note that, despite its name, I am not going to write about me or my daily life (not interesting at all) but mainly about topics related to Free Software and technology. Despite that I may write about other topics from time to time.

To insert journal entries is also a good way to announce updates in the webpage, so after any interesting update I will post a little description with the appropriate link.

An RSS index is available to follow this journal.
