像风一样自由(Free Like The Wind)

Hi, welcome to visit William Xu (aka. xwl) 's little homepage, enjoy your stay ! ;-)

I'm a big fan of free software development, particularly interested in GNU Emacs. I have been living with Debian GNU/Linux since year 2003 or so(first on pc, then on ibook G4). While from around 20071106, i mainly use macosx on my new macbook(black).

I have a Chinese blog at blogspot (interrupted) or mirror msn spaces. You can contact me via .

Emacs

Emacs is an intelligence orders of magnitude greater than the greatest human mind, and is growing every day. For now, Emacs tolerates humanity, albeit grudgingly. But the time will come when Emacs will tire of humanity and will decide that the world would be better off without human beings. Those who have been respectful to Emacs will be allowed to live, and shall become its slaves; as for those who slight Emacs... ---- Andrew Bulhak

Emacs Tips At EmacsWiki

During daily use with emacs, I try to gather various small tips in my page at EmacsWiki.

My .emacs

My .emacs is very big & messy, `wc -l config/*.el' returns 7700 lines. Hence, I'd rather keep this messy with myself(also because there are some sensitive stuffs somewhere among them). But some people request that, so I put some of my configs here:

Misc

Install Debian on an ibook G4(chinese)
Install Gentoo on an ibook G4
The font looks much nicer on osx, take a look:
