moved in

moved into my new house last week! very nice house. i was sick for two days afterward, i think due to exhaustion or something. wasn't a good time, let me tell you. however, now i'm well and kicking!

my wife's birthday was also this weekend, so we had friends over and everyone loved the house. i do too. it's a good house.

oh and the dogs are back home, thank goodness! i was missing them very much. they are adjusting well, mostly---though apparently the poor things were terrified by the mail dropping through the door slot this afternoon.

i was originally writing this to share a bit of elisp, so i suppose i will here.

Bozhidar Batsov wrote a blog post called Extract Version Metadata from a Package that discusses how to do all of that from package.el, but i don't use package.el.

so i hacked something together from some throwaway lines in his blog to do almost the same thing:

(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect (find-library-name "titlecase"))
  (require 'lisp-mnt)
  (lm-authors))

this returns the authors (me) and their email from the titlecase.el library:

(("Case Duckworth" . "acdw@acdw.net"))

i still need to think about multi-file libraries and how to find the "real" root of the library, i suppose, but that's an easily-enough-solved problem i think.
