Why don't major modes just inspect the faces? http://t.co/LGkmcCYQlN -- really interesting answers about Emacs syntax highlighting.
Considering abandoning my http://t.co/AoAj7NWsen in favour of init.el. I find org-babel code less hackable, and many tools write to init.el.

I'd love to start using a swanky continuous deployment service, but a worrying number of them require me to upload SSH keys.

On two separate occasions now I've released a v1 on @melpa_emacs and received my first pull request in under 24 hours. Discoverability!
7 Principles of Rich Web Applications http://t.co/NMjAycXwgk -- hands down the best article I've read on SPA and web UX this year.
