The Midlands based Multipack have organised a fantastic al fresco event for Sunday 27th August in Leamington Spa. So for those of you who fancy heading on up for a picnic followed by a few jars with your fellow geeks be sure to stop by the Geek in the Park site and drop a comment so they know you are going.

Thanks for the post, but btw it’s Multipack, not multi-pack.

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
