9rules network

I am pleased to announce that Muffin Research Labs has joined the 9rules network. I’m totally chuffed to be joining a network with sites such as Roger Johansson, Molly E Holzschlag, Particle Tree, Johnathon Snook and Robert Nyman to name but a few.

For anyone that’s reading this thinking; “Oh no, not another web development blog”. Don’t worry, I’m hoping to be able to add my own flavour to the mix and produce some different and original content along the way. Above all else I’m truly interested in helping other developers whilst continuing to spread the word about good practices in web standards.

PS: I think it was the promise of beers at SXSW that swung it!

    Well done Stuart! A few of my mates got in this round, I didn’t but shit happens.

    I’ll raise a glass to you tonight :)

    Well done Stupotnoodle. It’s nice to see you’re finally "certified"! ;-)

    Unfortunately, it would seem there really is no accounting for taste…

    @Zach: I’m pretty sure Scrivs typed in my email address by mistake to be honest : )

    @Tim: Thanks Tim! I’m thinking that should probably read “certifiable”.

    Congratulations!

    … by the way, it’s spelled "f-l-a-v-o-r." ;)

    @Shannon: Thanks!

    … Blimey you Americans never give up! My school was infiltrated by an American English teacher, I have to spell "colour" as "color" in CSS or it doesn’t work, and now you’re coming on here correcting me. It’s just all wrong, but as it’s you I’ll let you off : )

    Talk about being late to the party…

    Sorry I haven’t read about this before, I’ve been crazy busy and I apologize. Welcome to the wonderful world of 9rules! :-)

    @Robert: Don’t feel you’re late to the party, I was a fair bit ahead of the official announcement! Thanks for the welcome.

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"

Hat tip: mteckert on SuperUser.com

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
