What does your bookshelf say about you? | 3 Comments

Posted in General on 20th April 2006, 9:19 pm by

Matthew Pennell tagged me along with rest of the members of a entire list (the nutter!) in starting his meme, “What does your bookshelf say about you?”. I’ve uploaded my picture to flickr so go see for yourself (the pic on Flickr is complete with notes so it’s better than the one below if you really want to know what everything is).

My bookshelf

Following Matthew’s lead I’m tagging anyone who wants to take part; consider yourself tagged! Oh and don’t forget to tag your photo “bookshelfmeme” and add the link to your photo in the comments!

    Not my bookshelf, but here’s what I dug up in the office before I left on my last day…

    Amazing what piles up over the years. I am sure I left some behind, too.

    From those photos id say you’re in dire need of a new bookshelf – that one looks as though it is about to fall apart! Saying that though it is better than my place of storage – my books are all just in big pile on my window sill.

    @Steve: Oi you cheeky monkey, though that looks like it is going to fall to pieces it’s really my awful stitching of three separate photos together!

Insert a tab character in vim when expand tabs is on|(0)

I have vim set-up to use spaces in place of tabs. Sometimes you need to use an actual tab e.g. editing a Makefile. Now whilst it’s possible to change settings so that tabs are used for specific files, a quick tip to remember is to simply type in insert mode:

Ctrl+v tab

That is Ctrl and “V” and hit the tab key, et voila you’ve entered an actual tab.

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"
