Registrations for d.Construct “a grass-roots Web 2.0 conference” are being taken now Sold out. Such luminaries as Andy Budd, Simon Willison and Stuart Langridge will be speaking about all things Web 2.0. There will also be a talk from Boing Boing’s and EFF member Cory Doctorow on copyright and intellectual property.

I managed to beat the rush and scored myself a place so I will be there on 11th November. I’m looking forward to learning more about the whole Web 2.0 thing as so far I haven’t had much chance to us AJAX apart from a couple of experiments. This should be the inspiration I need to put some effort into adding degradable AJAX functionality to Joornal; the content engine behind this blog.

In addition it will be nice to meet up with anyone who is going to SXSW in 2006.

GNU screen: open tab in current working directory|(1)

A nice trick for having screen open a new tab in the same directory as the one you’re currently in. To use it add it to your .screenrc

# Open new window in current dir.
bind c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
bind ^c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"

Ubuntu: add-apt-repository: command not found|(2)

When you’re using a minimal Ubuntu install if you find the ‘add-apt-repository’ command is missing (it’s useful for adding PPAs and other repositories), then simply run:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
