Gnus for nntp and some mail (still haven't found out how to get gmail working in gnus). I tend to use emacs in X most of the time, but usually (though not always) i tend to use gnus in a screen(1) session from a tty on my server at home. That way i can just attach to it from work or on the road and have the same state--no load-up time. What i am excited about is this thing that is being worked on that gives multiple tty support: http://lorentey.hu/project/emacs.html.hu . So, if i understand it correctly, i will be able to run an instance of emacs in X on my server's desktop, then attach to the same running instance from work via ssh in tty mode, etc.... That will be cool. Other than that... i am trying to learn some common lisp, so i use slime a lot. I don't watch movies or listen to music through the computer much, except music at work where i am stuck with Win XP. I have not looked into emms yet. Maybe i should. The web is the one place where i pretty much have given up on emacs. I just use firefox. I use w3 for looking up stuff in the common lisp hyperspec, because it works ok. But most of the web is just not very fun in emacs... for me. Just not what emacs was designed for, i gather. -- þ theron tlax þ
