I've installed more than 100 emacs plugins.

Here is my minimum .emacs to test plugins,

(show-paren-mode 1)
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))

;; test elisps download from internet here
(setq test-elisp-dir "~/test-elisp/")
(if (not (file-exists-p (expand-file-name test-elisp-dir)))
    (make-directory (expand-file-name test-elisp-dir)))

(setq load-path
      (append
        (loop for dir in (directory-files test-elisp-dir)
              unless (string-match "^\\." dir)
              collecting (expand-file-name (concat test-elisp-dir dir)))
        load-path))

;; package repositories
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" .  "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

;; ==== put your code below this line!
;;

The code is straight forward. I scan any sub-directories in ~/test-elisp and add them into load-path.

I've uploaded the .emacs to Dropbox, so you can use one bash liner to download it:

cd ~/;wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/858862/emacs/.emacs;mkdir -p ~/test-elisp;

Here is the detailed steps,

1. Install keysnail (a firefox addon)
2. Install HoK (no less than version 1.3.9) through keysnail
3. Add below code into .keysnail.js

/** HoK */
key.setViewKey('e', function (aEvent, aArg) {
        ext.exec("hok-start-foreground-mode", aArg);
}, 'Hok - Foreground hint mode', true);



key.setViewKey('E', function (aEvent, aArg) {
        ext.exec("hok-start-background-mode", aArg);
}, 'HoK - Background hint mode', true);



key.setViewKey(';', function (aEvent, aArg) {
        ext.exec("hok-start-extended-mode", aArg);
}, 'HoK - Extented hint mode', true);



key.setViewKey(['C-c', 'C-e'], function (aEvent, aArg) {
        ext.exec("hok-start-continuous-mode", aArg);
}, 'Start continuous HaH', true);



hook.addToHook('PluginLoaded', function () {
  if (!plugins.hok)
    return;

  /* HoK 1.3.9+ requried */
  plugins.hok.pOptions.selector = plugins.hok.pOptions.selector
    /* feedly */
    + ", *[data-uri]"
    + ", *[data-selector-toggle]"
    + ", *[data-page-action]"
    + ", *[data-app-action]"
  ;
});

1. Restart Firefox, logged into http://www.feedly.com and press hot key "e"
2. Enjoy!

Hi ${1:`(my-yas-get-first-name-from-to-field)`},

Thank you very much for providing me this great opportunity.

Unfortunately I'm occupied now and will not consider new job for the time being.

Currently I'm working for ${2:COMPANY_NAME} as a contract developer. However, the
contract will be over ${3:END_OF_CONTRACT} and I will be available then.

So keep in touch.

Attached is my latest CV.

Easy. You only install company-mode and company-cmake.el according to the documentation HERE.

company-cmake.el is written by me. I'm in the process of signing necessary copyright papers to make it part of company-mode. I was told the process could take one month because I'm deal with GNU foundation. So please be patient.

Anyway, you can use company-cmake.el right now with company-mode without any problem.

Please note I only tested this plugin with cmake 2.8.

Here is screen shot:

UPDATED (12th Jan, 2014): Legal procedure is done. Now company-cmake.el is officially part of company-mode since version 0.6.12.

So all you need to do is install latest company-mode, no other set up required!

This command converts selected region in Emacs into one string and put it into the kill ring.

Why I need this command? I'm doing some web developement now. I've got a javascript API whose parameter is a string in html syntax. I write that beautifully indented multiple lines string in html editor to make sure the string is correct. Then I convert the multiple lines string into one string without line breaks so that I can paste the one line string into my javascript code.

In certain situation, this method actually makes code more readable.

Here is code you can paste into your .emacs:

(defun strip-convert-lines-into-one-big-string (beg end)
"strip and convert selected lines into one big string which is copied into kill ring.
When transient-mark-mode is enabled, if no region is active then only the
current line is acted upon.

If the region begins or ends in the middle of a line, that entire line is
copied, even if the region is narrowed to the middle of a line.

Current position is preserved."
  (interactive "r")
  (let (str (orig-pos (point-marker)))
  (save-restriction
    (widen)
    (when (and transient-mark-mode (not (use-region-p)))
      (setq beg (line-beginning-position)
            end (line-beginning-position 2)))

    (goto-char beg)
    (setq beg (line-beginning-position))
    (goto-char end)
    (unless (= (point) (line-beginning-position))
      (setq end (line-beginning-position 2)))

    (goto-char beg)
    (setq str (replace-regexp-in-string "[ \t]*\n" "" (replace-regexp-in-string "^[ \t]+" "" (buffer-substring-no-properties beg end))))
    ;; (message "str=%s" str)
    (kill-new str)
    (goto-char orig-pos)))
  )

This is my quick guide on how to start debugging elisp. It's written for developers who are already experienced on debugging program but too lazy to read the Edebug manual.

The most critical set up for the debugging is to set the hot key "C-h C-f" to the command "find-function" so you can jump the definition of the function easily.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-h C-f") 'find-function)

Here is my workflow.

`man rtorrent` for the keybindings:

• `Enter` to input magnet from piratebay manually
• `C-s` to start download
• `C-d` to delete

For ArchLinux only:

mkdir -p ~/bt/{session,finished,torrent}

sudo pacman -S cronie
sudo systemctl enable cronie
sudo systemctl start cronie

crontab -e #add cron task as current user

#start rtorrent sesssion at 1am
0 1 * * * /usr/bin/screen -fa -d -m -S torrent /usr/bin/rtorrent
# kill it at  9am
0 10 * * * /usr/bin/screen -S torrent -X quit
