Thanks for your strategies. One thing I've neocitd is that banks and also financial institutions know the spending behavior of consumers as well as understand that the majority of people max outside their credit cards around the getaways. They properly take advantage of this real fact and start flooding the inbox along with snail-mail box using hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers shortly after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98% of all American public, you'll jump at the one opportunity to consolidate financial debt and switch balances towards 0 interest rate credit cards.

'''Keyboard macros''' can be used to automate or repeat tedious editing tasks in Emacs.

 +
==Example usage==
 +
Consider the standard <code>*scratch*</code> buffer:
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
 +
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
 +
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
Suppose you want to remove the first occurrence of the letter "a" on every row in that piece of text. You could write a [[regular expression]] to do the job, but let's assume you want to use a keyboard macro this time.
 +
 
 +
# Make sure [[point]] is at the start of the buffer.
 +
# Hit <code>C-x (</code> to start recording your macro. '''Note:''' If you hit <code>C-g</code> or if an error occurs, your keyboard macro recording will stop.
 +
# Hit <code>C-s</code> followed by <code>a</code> to find the first "a". Now, point is right after the first "a" in the text.
 +
# Hit backspace to delete that "a".
 +
 
 +
The first occurrence of "a" of the first line has been deleted. Let's move point to the beginning of the next line and then stop recording.
 +
 
 +
<ol start="5">
 +
<li>Hit <code>C-e C-f</code> to move point to the beginning of the next line.</li>
 +
<li>Hit <code>C-x )</code> to finish the recording of our macro.</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
 
 +
The macro you have just recorded performs the operation of removing the first occurrence of "a" it can find and then moving point to the next line.
 +
 
 +
<ol start="7">
 +
<li>Hit <code>C-x e</code> once to call that macro.</li>
 +
<li>Continue hitting <code>e</code> to call it several times. Hit any other key to get out of the macro repetition.</li>

</ol>

I think the exposure looks relaly good with the flash!  I am having the hardest time figuring out what is the "right" exposure using my speedlight also.  I think this looks great and u got great catchlights, no pinlights.  Very sweet post.  :)

Basic Keyboard Macro (`(info "(emacs) Basic Keyboard Macro")')

Keyboard macros can be used to automate or repeat tedious editing tasks in Emacs.

Example usage

Consider the standard *scratch* buffer: 

;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

Suppose you want to remove the first occurrence of the letter "a" on every row in that piece of text. You could write a regular expression to do the job, but let's assume you want to use a keyboard macro this time.

  1. Make sure point is at the start of the buffer.
  2. Hit C-x ( to start recording your macro. Note: If you hit C-g or if an error occurs, your keyboard macro recording will stop.
  3. Hit C-s followed by a to find the first "a". Now, point is right after the first "a" in the text.
  4. Hit backspace to delete that "a".

The first occurrence of "a" of the first line has been deleted. Let's move point to the beginning of the next line and then stop recording.

  1. Hit C-e C-f to move point to the beginning of the next line.
  2. Hit C-x ) to finish the recording of our macro.

The macro you have just recorded performs the operation of removing the first occurrence of "a" it can find and then moving point to the next line.

  1. Hit C-x e once to call that macro.
  2. Continue hitting e to call it several times. Hit any other key to get out of the macro repetition.

I think the exposure looks relaly good with the flash! I am having the hardest time figuring out what is the "right" exposure using my speedlight also. I think this looks great and u got great catchlights, no pinlights. Very sweet post. :)

Saving macros

Save Keyboard Macro (`(info "(emacs) Save Keyboard Macro")')

Take a look at the Canon Digital Elph series. I pecikd up a 10MP camera for just under $200 back in November from Amazon.com. They've got newer stuff that's better than what I have, though I love my SD770IS.

Binding to a key

To bind a keyboard macro to a key using C-x C-k b. To avoid problems caused by overriding existing bindings, the key sequences C-x C-k 0 through C-x C-k 9 and C-x C-k A through C-x C-k Z are reserved for your own keyboard macro bindings. You can, however, bind a keyboard macro to whatever you like.

Hi, I just installed this pagkace into Umbraco v4.7. Once I insert the macro into my post I get this error message: Server Error in /' Application.A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (&).Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (&).Source Error:An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request.
