Joining Yahoo! | Comments (6)

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.

How come the pics or Norm and me always involve alcohol?

Congratulations are in order. Hope all goes well for you at Yahoo! Please let me know if I can interview you for my blog. We focus on webpage templates, but we like design, SEO, and web topics far afield as well. - Arthur Browning

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(0)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.

Ubuntu: Mounting a TrueCrypt volume at startup or from the CLI|(0)

All you need is a mount point e.g: mkdir /media/ and then use the following: truecrypt /path/to/truecrypt/diskimage /media/. This is handy when you want to mount a truecrypt image at start-up or just do it quickly from a shell. It’s far more direct than using the GUI.
