Programming

{{974682812}} This morning I decided to give Scribes another try. It has some great and cool features such a snippets (see the demo) and automatic word completion.
It also offers a pretty big set of keyboard shortcuts, some of them solve those little repetitive tasks you are used to if you edit a lot of code (like “free current line” or “free next line” to make space for more code).

I have never booked a flight so much time ahead. By the way I am seriously considering to participate to the Erasmus program for next year.

In the past you may have encountered this problem: looping through a list of files with a Bash “for loop” gave you headaches if filenames had spaces inside. This is our setting:
<br /> flevour@voyance:/tmp/blog_post$ touch "my filename with space"<br /> flevour@voyance:/tmp/blog_post$ touch one two three other filenames<br /> flevour@voyance:/tmp/blog_post$ ls -l<br /> total 0<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 flevour flevour 0 2007-05-07 17:49 filenames<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 flevour flevour 0 2007-05-07 17:48 my filename with space<br />

{{232627186}}No. Really. I mean it. My Firefox tabs set has never been so full of interesting and great tabs as today. Phishing attacks to OpenID. Too bad, I was so close to start using it. As a web-app wish-to-be-developer Slingshot leaves me wordless. You are probably “widly inefficient” at reading. Go double your reading rate.

This strip is simply hilarious, expecially when you read this right after a graph theory lesson. Via PDI^2.
Graph theory study wastes a lot of energy, so get yourself a Big Maaaaac! (Thanks AlbeJTD for this, I keep singing it, expecially when in pubs).

Meanwhile in no particular order: I started my career as Drupal teacher, I have been contacted by 3 different people in a range of 2 weeks for Drupal/PHP consulence, 2nd semester lessons began, I finally decided to bring my laptop to assistence (still a decision, but a firm one this time: infact I am using my old resurrected laptop with some directories binded from my external drive, too much fun), everyone around is writing Twitter is great (I haven’t tried it out, but I don’t feel like it’s my kind of site), I am trying to move aw
