Auto compile your emacs lisp files

Here is my slightly modified version of the byte compile on buffer save solution (auto-recomp.el). This one tries to be less distracting by pre-splitting the window with a smaller *Compile-Log* buffer, auto-scroll to the last line to quickly show a potential error and then auto-close the *Compile-Log* window. It would be better to have a real error detection with a notification message rather than a dumb auto-scroll. Next time perhaps.

Gnus, RSS and proxy

I'm using gnus at work to read RSS feeds and I encountered problems regarding to our HTTP proxy. I had to reenter the password so many times and that's really annoying! I decided to defadvice the read-string and read-password functions so that password is automatically selected.
