- Gnu Emacs user, currently working in 23.4 and 24.0.94.1 as of 2012-03-27
- Emacs user for 15 years, but seem to be relearning all the time because of forgetting what I haven't used recently
- spend 99% of PC time in either Emacs or Chrome
- former Linux user (from scratch, Slackware up to 9.1). Recent distros don't support all hardware on my 12 year old PC, and have gotten too bloated, so:
- currently on Windows XP, which is faster on my old PC than recent Linux distros
- Topics I'm currently trying to get working on Windows XP that worked on Linux:
- spell check (aspell or hunspell)
- offline dictionary lookup (edict, kanjidic)
- Topics that are not OS-specific that I want to learn more about:
- specifying a different font for various Unicode ranges
- new features in version 24 (it handles RTL languages like Hebrew, Arabic!, adds rectangle-number-lines C-x r N)
- old modes I've forgotten through disuse, new modes
- ditto for tips and tricks
