I want to get in the habit of posting my .emacs file from time-to-time, mostly so I can easily find it when I am doing system installs. It is not very large now at this early stage in my career, but should grow overtime:

;; Fixes an odd display bug that occurs when emacs is used in                                                                                  
;; conjunction with gnome-terminal, in which emacs leaves                                                                                      
;; random blocks of text highlighted even after the cursor                                                                                     
;; has moved away from them.                                                                                                                   

(setq column-number-mode t)

;; Custom macro: M-x texquote                                                                                                                  
;; Outputs LaTeX quotation block                                                                                                               

(fset 'texquote
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p") (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("\\begin{quotation}^M^M^M^M\\end{quotation}^[OA^
[OA" 0 "%d")) arg)))

;; Disable annoying backslash character at the point of line wrap                                                                              

(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'wrap ?\ )

I welcome suggestions/criticisms from any visiting Emacs gurus.

I found a YouTube playlist that has a huge number of original NES music tracks. A better yet, each video comes with a demo of the game being played... by a really good player!

There are 200 videos in this playlist, and it is only the first volume!

I can't tell you which one is my favorite, but here are a few classics:
