Carson Web-apps Summit

There’s a some really good events coming up starting with this week’s Carson Webapps Summit on Wednesday in London. The line-up includes; Del.icio.us founder Joshua Schacter, Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson, Shaun Inman of Mint, Tom Coates from Yahoo!. The conference is sold out and with 800 seats it’s going to be busy event.

SXSWi

A recent post on Andy Budd’s blog reminded me that SXSWi is coming up fast. In just over 5 weeks time I’ll be flying out to Austin for the SXSW interactive festival. The programme is really shaping up and there’s going to be plenty of panels and keynotes to enjoy.

Whilst I’m there I’m looking forward to meeting up with fellow 9-rulers (and everyone else) as well as taking part in the bowling organised by Brian Veloso. I’d better head on down to the bowlplex to hone my skills then? If you’re up for it then head on over to Brian’s Wiki to add your name to the list.

I still have half a room up for grabs at the Hampton Inn (9th-15th March) if anyone is interested. If you are please contact me via my contact form. The room is now shared!

If you’re going to be at either of these events then do post a comment, it would be great to put some more faces to names.

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
