For some time (may even have been years) I’ve been having problems with the cperl-mode, when editing Perl code within XEmacs. And each time I didn’t invest the time, to really find the reason for this particular problem (something about the wrong number of arguments to some elisp function). I googled a bit, but this didn’t produce any results. So I simply loaded perl-mode instead.

When I recently upgraded to the latest XEmacs beta, by pure luck I found the problem. I’m running XEmacs with a site-lisp directory, where I’m keeping some local stuff and elisp code, which I’ve collected over time from the newsgroup gnu.emacs.sources. And voila, I found an old cperl-mode file dated from 1999. Each time when cperl-mode was loaded, I got this old file instead of the correct one from the corresponding XEmacs package. And I also found an old version of the eshell packages. This was also a package, which I couldn’t get to work properly, when I wanted to check it out recently.

I could have thought about this much, much earlier. Grrrh.

Tools like Neatimage and Noise Ninja are well known for what they can do to the noise in pictures from digital cameras. Since the Neatimage website has also examples for improvements to scanned images, I decided to try it myself with one of my scanned images from the Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV. And I must really say, the results are amazing. The left half of the picture to the right is unprocessed. The (vertical) border goes right through the centre of the clock and the right half was processed by Neatimage in automatic mode. The colour noise is nearly completely gone. Really, really great.

During the Mayday 2005 transmisson I was browsing the einslive website. What a pleasant suprise. There will be a new show called Eins Live Rocker starting on May 7th, 2005, were top DJ’s from the German club scene will be presenting 2 hour sets, each Saturday/Sunday night a different DJ. Moguai will be the first. The show will be running from 0:00 until 2:00 Sunday morning. einslive is even broadcasting over the Internet.

This is very good news. I’m still somewhat missing the old Partyservice with Piet Blank. Since the demise of the Partyservice I’ve somewhat lost touch with the style of music, which is usually played by Piet Blank and even more so by Moguai. What I don’t get is, how that radio show can be called “Rocker”. Judging from Moguai’s website, it appears that Moguai played a major role in the creation of this show.
