Some users combine org-mode and howm. It is possible because howm is a minor mode. ;; from http://howm.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/hiki/hiki.cgi?OrgMode (require 'org) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'howm-mode) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.howm$" . org-mode)) (setq howm-view-title-header "*") ;; *BEFORE* loading howm! (setq howm-prefix "\C-z") ;; change howm bindings from "C-c ," to "C-z" External grep command makes howm much faster. (setq howm-view-use-grep t) But too many notes and too long notes are impractical anyway. I like "one file for one day" rather than the default "one file for one note", with an experimental feature for search-in-result. (setq howm-file-name-format "%Y/%Y_%m_%d.rd") ;; I use RD format. (setq howm-view-search-in-result-correctly t) ;; be aware of paragraph See here for RD format. http://lists.sourceforge.jp/mailman/archives/howm-eng/2005/000014.html I rarely write titles for my notes; they are not necessary.
For better or for worse, Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is a wildly popular way of exchanging information. On Windows and Mac OS, most people create PDF files by first creating a PostScript file and then using Adobe Acrobat Distiller to generate a PDF. Linux, however, has no version of Distiller. There are a number of ways to create a PDF in Linux, but one of the most popular methods is to use a utility called ps2pdf.

Jersey 1.0 is an open-source, production-ready reference implementation of JAX-RS, the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JSR-311). Jersey makes it easy to create RESTful web services in Java.
In an earlier Tech Tip, Implementing RESTful Web Services in Java, Paul Sandoz and I introduced RESTful Web Services, JAX-RS, and Jersey, and showed how to write RESTful web services in Java that conform to the JAX-RS specification. In this tip you will learn how to configure data in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) using Jersey 1.0. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is based on the object notation of the JavaScript language. Because of it's simple text format, JSON provides a good alternative to other data interchange formats such as XML and is particularly attractive as a data interchange format for RESTful web services.
In this tip you will build a Jersey-based web application that provides information about printer status. The application returns the information in JSON format. To build the application, you will use the Maven 2 software project management tool. For more information about Maven, see Welcome to Maven and Building Web Applications with Maven 2.

Newer portable Macs use safe sleep (hibernation) in combination with normal sleep (older computers can use this, too). What happens is that when you put your computer to sleep, the system writes the contents of RAM into the file /private var vm sleepimage
