Some of the engineers in my office developed http://elide.io/ which Is an actively developed Server side Java Json-api library.

Were you using console mode emacs? I use evil+emacs and I use it in its own window instead of on the console for that very reason.

I've been using this engine, it's quite nice, and targets all the platforms one might be interested in. It only took a few hours to figure out how to translate some code from love2d.

I was working on a game in my spare time, with an eye to eventually release it on XBLIG if I ever finished. This and a number of other niggling things, such as this (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnhar/archive/2010/10/12/xna-game...), have prompted me to basically drop the project and switch over to making a Mac/PC/Linux game instead, focusing on Mac first.

Another Viper mode heretic here. 10 years of everyday vi (I started with elvis!) and then switching to emacs will do that. I use gtags and doxymacs pretty extensively too.

I just started using Google Reader about 3 weeks ago. I'm currently subscribed to approximately 30 feeds, and I tend to skim the headlines on the busier sites, and then read whatever might catch my eye. On the slower sites, or blogs from folks that I know, I tend to read the whole article, or give up after I decide that I'm just not interested. I have it configured to purge already read posts, so I just page down the busier blogs until I finish, or stumble upon something I like. I also tend to use the mark all read after the weekend or a day or two off, since I don't have the time to sift through too much detritus from not servicing my feeds. I think with news/social news sites like reddit & slashdot, which I had subscribed to, and subsequently unsubscribed to, have too much noise to lend themselves to reading in an RSS feed.
