A small collection of my configuration files and Emacs/Vim plugins
Tango terminal colors are recommended with a dark background. Unicode is used, so hopefully your terminal supports it.
See the images directory for an example of what some of the stuff looks like.

Put important commands in ~/.important_commands and they'll always be in your backwards search history.
- Move the
.emacs.d
directory to~/.emacs.d
- Run
emacs
Much package installing will commence. If there are errors, just keep running it until all the packages are installed.
You might need to start it and run package-list-packages
to update the package
list the first time.
My emacs config uses mu4e for
email, ERC for IRC, twittering-mode for twitter and all kinds of goodies for
clojure development. It requires manually calling the method mail
in order to
start the mail functionality. For IRC I use
ERC, which can be started with the
start-irc
function.
All of the settings are in ~/.emacs.d/settings.org
, and are tangled and then
loaded from init.el
in the same directory. This (hopefully) makes reading
the configuration a bit easier.
I recommend you install ag for searching also and gpg for crypto stuff to get the full benefit.
I my custom Emacs theme called dakrone-theme for dark background, and leuven for light-colored backgrounds (working outside).
To swap between them, change the line at the beginning of
~/.emacs.d/settings.org
that looks like:
;; Currently using dark-colored theme
;;(defvar my/background 'light)
(defvar my/background 'dark)
Loosely based on:
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pdnsd
- http://nakkaya.com/2009/05/07/speeding-up-your-net-browsing-with-pdnsd-domain-name-caching-on-mac-os-x/
Steps:
- install polipo
- install pdnsd
- copy polipo.conf where it's needed, change the data directory and log file location
- copy pdnsd.conf where it's needed, create the directories needed (running pdnsd will complain about where they are if they don't already exist)
- set DNS to 127.0.0.1
- set HTTP proxy to 127.0.0.1, port 8118
There's also some stuff for privoxy in here. Proxies all over the place!
