Emacs and Vim config files

Last years I’ve been using emacs as main editor - even IDE - for all my coding, with occasional quick uses of mcedit, but after the PyGtk BoF which took place in Mataró last December 2004, I gave vim a chance…

I’ve put here my config files.

Anyway, nowdays I’ve come back to the one true editor ;-)

elcorreo.py

I’ve added another script to feed my RSS reader.

In this case is elcorreo.py, a python script to get latest news from El Correo Digital.

It is implemented as a command for Liferea, i.e., a script which retrieves news updates, parses them and builds a rss feed at run time, which is written to stdout. It also need BeautifulSoap.

googlenews.py

While half the world is watching Olympic Games and the other half is discussing about decorators, and as far as my good proposal (“#decorator” :) has been sadly ignored, I’ve spent last days writing googlenews.py: a simple python script to retrieve news from Google News Service.

Features:

  • Supported feeds: es, fr, de, it, nz, au, in, ca, uk, us
  • Can export to: rss2 xml and html files

Requirements:

I use it in a hourly cron script, building rss files which I read with liferea:

[inigo@inigo inigo]$ cat /etc/cron.hourly/googlenews
#!/bin/bash
/home/devel/mine/googlenews/googlenews.py --rss-path=/tmp -w -q es
/home/devel/mine/googlenews/googlenews.py -cnes --rss-path=/tmp -w -q nz
exit 0
[inigo@inigo inigo]$

Type googlenews.py --help for more info.

Hope you like it.

Página web

Poco que comentar, pues en los últimos días apenas he hecho nada… (ya comentaré el por qué más adelante). Lo único destacable es que he upgradeado el blog a la versión 2.4 del NewsBruiser.

Nueva página web

Tras unos pocos días trabajando en ella, ya está prácticamente terminada mi nueva página web.

Quedan unas pocas cosas, como añadir algunos contenidos y terminar el soporte de la webcam, pero, en fin, lo que siempre me resulta más engorroso, que es el look and feel ya está.
