My weblog is littered with widespread tips about configuration for common shell tools and I post the occasional screenshot to flickr just to show off. I often get mails/comments regarding the used colorschemes and configs, so I thought it would be a good idea to create a separate page for these configs (and to keep [...]
I’m sure I could come up with 5 of these every day if I read the whole user-manual religilously and followed dozens of blogs, but I don’t, so here goes: mutt supports threading (duh!) through set sort=”threads” set strict_threads=”yes” But you want threads which have new mails appear at the top/bottom (whichever way you work): [...]
This comes from the I-have-to-pay-my-electrical-bill and from the learn-something-fun-about-your-system-everyday-department. As you know I’ve got Gentoo on my workstation. When I still lived in my dorm it was running 24/7 (last but not least to supply everyone with the latest episodes of popular shows). When I moved I started using a hacked-together suspend-to-ram script which worked [...]
Wie jeder RWTH-Student hab ich natürlich auch ein RWTH-Postfach. Und dazu noch eins als Mitarbeiter des RZ. Ist eigentlich eine ganz nette Sache, nur dass man die Dinger nirgends vorsortieren kann (aka procmail oder so) sondern nur mit sowas wie dem Thunderbird-Filter auf Anwenderseite. Heisst dann im Endeffekt auf bestimmt 5 Systemen die Regel anlegen [...]
So, this is not another in-depth review of the latest piece of technology on my desk. Sufficient to say my cellphone-contract expired and I had the chance to exchange my old one. You may remember that it was an o2 XDA Neo, which I blogged about back then. While this cellphone sure had a lot [...]
This is a small review for a small laptop. You might remember that I bought a MacBook a few months back, and may ask yourself why anyone would need two laptops (or even one for some people). Well, I can’t answer that question for everyone, but think about it the next time you buy an [...]
Got this one from the git-ml (which I read via gmane, but that’s a different post): I’m not very good at reviewing patches. Especially not if it’s something like JavaScript. git at least colorizes its diffs, which makes it somewhat better. But as soon as you have a big file which is being patched in [...]
OK, I can already hear you saying “here we go again”. Well, I’m sorry that I’m not really in the mood to report much on my personal life (though, rest assured, everything is really going smooth, so don’t worry). Maybe this blog will undergo certain changes in the near future, but right now I’m not [...]
Up until right now I’ve been using xterm. While it’s not the best of terms it does support 256 colors out of the box (and I don’t use fancy stuff like transparency/translucency). What it has been lacking however, and which Flo pointed out, was the support to make URLs clickable. This is an important feature, [...]
I use git to version almost everything I work with on a daily basis. My emails reside on an IMAP-server and my bookmarks are on delicious. My config files are written such that the same file can be used on any machine I have. The question remains how to keep all of the other stuff [...]
