My business’s accounting program, which I’ll call Canopus, has issues. One of which is that it assumes wordpad.exe will be in c:\windows. As far as I know, Microsoft moved wordpad.exe’s default location away from c:\windows about 20 years ago. Canopus live in hope that it will be there so installing Canopus always requires one to…

My second Project Euler solution. Project Euler No. 2 This was a little tougher to solve than No. 1. I decided to use recursion to solve it, and as I haven’t had to write anything that used recursion since I was at Uni, it took me a while go remember how to do it. Also,…

So you’ve downloaded a really cool perl script but it has 200 module dependencies? You could just install them one by one with cpanm or, you could use lib::xi. It automatically installs modules your perl script uses. # to install missing libaries automatically $ perl -Mlib::xi script.pl

Finally managed to authenticate against WordPress.com using the oauth2 library. Here is my sample code which returns an access token. (let ((code (oauth2-request-authorization “https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize?blog=jasonblewis.wordpress.com” “2194” “” “” “https://emacstragic.net”) )) (oauth2-request-access “https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/token” “2194” “” code “https://emacstragic.net” ) ) WordPress at least seems to be fussy about what you use as the Redirect URI. It needs to…

For a long time I have wanted to learn elisp in emacs. I tried the various tutorials but I get bored of them too quickly. Too many words not enough action for me. I was reminded of Project Euler by Daniel Silverstone so I thought I’d have a crack at one of the problems. No.…

Update: See my other post, launching emacs from cygwin There are a few tricks to installing emacs in cygwin. Here’s what I do. Installing cygwin First, install cygwin. Then, install the very nice tool apt-cyg which makes package management much easier in cygwin. Then to save yourself lots of agony of trying to work out…

I’m still stuck with WordPress and OAuth 2.0. I sent a support email to them but they have not followed up yet. I did find the problem described on Stack Overflow with no solution yet either. I thought I might try and get OAuth 2.0 working with a different service. Twitter does not appear to…

Back the basics. Reading through the docs again I decided try and and authorise using this url first. https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=2194&redirect_uri=https://emacstragic.net&response_type=code This takes me to a wordpress.com page to ask me to authorise. So, then it started to make sense to me. (oauth2-request-authorization “https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize” “2194” “” “” “https://emacstragic.net”) That above function launches your browser on the wordpress…
