swestrupWell, was today a good day, or a bad one? I'm not really sure. I certainly spent it in a better mood that I've been in lately, but I haven't tried sleeping yet.
Lets see, except for a short jaunt to the Salvation Army to not buy a filing cabinet (and a wonderfully hideous couch in almost pristine condition that was so ugly, and so cheap, that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taxlady and I had to restrain each other from buying the dang thing, just to see our friends boggle), I've essentially spent the entire day editing the same 10 lines of a perl script. And said lines were comments.
Actually, the problem was the the perl-mode and the auto-fill-mode and the filladapt-mode that I was using simultaneously were auto-norking each other every time I tried to edit the comments. So, I spent the day debugging the interactions between three wildly divergent pieces of elisp code. I did, actually get things to work to my satisfaction. Well enough to send a bug-report to the XEmacs folks explaining what I had found was wrong, and what seemed to fix the problem.
So, now that I've fixed two or three major problems that have cropped up since migrating from DJGPP Emacs to XEmacs, I hope to be a bit more productive in the use of said tool. We shall see.
