Joining Yahoo! | 6 Comments

Posted in Work on 12th July 2006, 2:00 am by

Today was my second day at Yahoo! having started there on monday as a web developer. I’ve joined the web development team where I will be spending plenty of time getting to know the YUI libraries. It’s great to be working in the same team as Christian and Norm, they both bring much amusement to each day.

With Foosball tables in the canteen I might be able to brush up my skills to be able to take on the mighty Mike Rundle at SXSW 2007 or at least be able to stay on the table longer than 5 seconds.

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|(3)

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
