Emacs powershell-mode.el updated to v0.5

Here is the updated file. The old v0.4 version can still be downloaded as well. Many thanks to Richard Bielawski for taking the time to update some things and fix bugs. Change list from Richard's diff:

  • Indenting fixed on <tab>
  • Elseif keyword added
  • Support standard comment func
  • Bug fixed when visiting files in major mode

I didn't do a thorough test, simply used it in the following scenarios: visiting file, auto-load, colorization, indenting via <tab> and editing.

Apologies for the dastardly delay--but if you have improvements and suggestions / snippets, I'd be happy to include them and give you due credit.

Thanks again Richard!

Quick Post: live.com is actually kind of nice...
Technorati Tags: ,

Just upgraded the blog so apologies for any downtime. Anyway, quick post to exclaim: live.com is really quite useable! I know, I know, I work for Microsoft so that's why I'm saying live.com is worth visiting... right?

No, not really. I don't do PR... :) Here is why I'm recommending it:

  • The background picture is entertaining and often leads me to keep in touch with latest news (like the latest results from the Olympics) 
  • Search results are really consistent with what I expect to see (YMMV)
  • Its FAST - the background image comes up fast, the search results are fast!
  • Image search is really fun to use (try searching for "Lolcatz")
  • Ever searched for "Rumour"? Its a misspelling (in US), live.com automatically corrects it. A bunch of other auto-correct features are subtle but useful.

Of course, I wish some other things should be fixed:

  • There are links on the page to "MSN", "Live Search" and "Windows Live". Huh?
  • Related searches returns wacky results sometimes (I ego-searched and got back a random list of people). At least explain how those were generated.
  • This is a nit for the map feature: it doesn't render the UI usefully in my 1024 x 768 Lenovo. I guess mapping is a high-res feature!

So try out live.com. Oh yeah, I heard they have a cashback scheme--haven't tried it personally so can't comment on that.
