I got a mail from Google last week, saying that after carefully reviewing my experience they have determined that it is not a fit for the position i applied for, guess i won't be going to Dublin to work after all. Oh well, other jobs are probably out there.

On a different note, the company i (and some friends) sold about ~1.5 years ago was just mentioned on a national radio channel in denmark. The guys we sold it to has started doing documentation for a living, and held a talk on it at Aalborg university, i would have liked to go see it, but i guess my antennaes were not tuned in to pick it up. The show with one of the Pohl Data guys speaking can be downloaded here, it is even podcasted!

Speaking of podcasts, the LUG Radio guys finally decided to get their heads out of their asses and start making shows again. And i have to tell you, it is as funny and good as ever.

Oh, and i'm currently trying to replace Emacs! Well ok, that might be a bit too much, but i had the feeling that with all the new cool IDEs coming out, it's a shame that i can't use them, because they don't have the cool features of emacs:

• Wonderful key bindings
• Easy buffer-switching
• Easy opening new files
• Easy search/search-replace
• TAB'ing works, tab indents a line, it doesn't insert a tab (i still have nightmares of the times i was forced to use Visual Studio) In my oppinion these are the things that make Emacs so incredibly powerful, in all the IDEs i've tried it is a bitch to switch to other files and search/search-replace, in Emacs it's as simple as moving around your file, all that bloody mousing about makes it hard to concentrate on coding.

So i started Halfdan's Editor (fanfare), whether it will ever be able to be integrated into something as Ecclipse, Monodevelop or something like it remains to be seen. But is is steadily working towards being able to replace my use of Emacs. It was bit hard to make the GTK+ widgets understand that pressing TAB should not move the focus but just complete something, but i think i got the basics down (although tab'ing in the buffers right now moves focus, i need to come up with a way of copying Emacs' TAB'ing magic, my gut says regular expressions).
