I attended Bar Camp Atlanta this weekend.  The event was a blast, but unfortunately I was only able to attend Friday nite.  I missed the distributed version control talk, and got my noodle cooked on "Genetic Algorithms in Javascript."  I also missed coffee w/ @ivey and @sanjay's Pipes talk.  :\

I gave a talk on Erlang and why you should use it.  My over/under for attendees was four, but I packed in about 20 people standing room only...  not too bad.  My slides can be found here.

Poker was great, including the whiskey... although I could have done without a couple of the beats put on me.  My playing partners seemed so nice.  But put chips in front of them, and cards, and whiskey... they changed real fast.   I'll be ready next time.

So I finally got a bit of time to get back to Erlang, and caught up on Kevin Smith's screencasts.  Watching him work with flymake enabled reminded me that when I set up his emacs/erlang rig earlier, I never got flymake to work.  Well, I finally did, so thought I'd share my changes.

Looking at 'git diff' I see I changed erlang_mode_config.el with my paths to Erlang stuffies:

-(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.6.1/emacs")
+(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/local/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.6.1/emacs")
 (require 'erlang-start)
 (setq erlang-indent-level 2)
-(add-to-list 'exec-path "/opt/bin")
-(setq erlang-root-dir "/opt")
+(add-to-list 'exec-path "/opt/local/lib/erlang/bin")
+(setq erlang-root-dir "/opt/local/lib/erlang")

Now, on to flymake_config.el, where I had another path change b/c I didn't put things in exactly the same place on my machine.

-    (list "~/emacs/flymake/bin/eflymake" (list local-file))))
+    (list "~/dev/erlang/kevsmith/emacs/flymake/bin/eflymake" (list local-file))))

Then, to recompile the .elc files, I ran this:

emacs -q --no-site-file -batch -eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \".\")" -f batch-byte-compile *.el

The same path changes were required in eflymake script, on the top line.

-#!/opt/bin/escript
+#!/opt/local/lib/erlang/bin/escript

Of course, the thing to do would be to modify these files to have one place for these settings to reside, and be more easily customizable for all.  But since I have things working, I want to get back to coding.  I hope to feel like before this was like 'coding in the dark.'  Off to code...
