Mastering emacs.....again!!!

This weekend I've decide to have another crack at mastering Emacs. I was trawling through some old bookmarks and files I had on my machine and it renewed my enthusiasm for Emacs by re-reading my friends blog at Mastering Emacs. Please check it out, some really good tutorials for beginners and advanced Emacs users alike.

Places to eat in SF

SC if you read this, check out the "Mels diner" franchise for some great fast food. Authentic 50's style diner. And for something a bit more sophisticated, I can recommend Morton's steak house, 400 Post Street just off Union Square.
There are also some fantastic restaurants in Japantown, check out the Japan Centre if you get time.

Have a good trip!!!
