Update on WSG London | 0 Comments

Posted in Events on 3rd September 2007, 11:12 pm by

I thought it would be a good time to announce that I’m temporarily handing over the reigns of the Web Standards Group London meetings over to Tom Croucher and Neil Crosby. Mainly I need to take a break due to being extremely busy at the moment. It happens to the best of us of course, but I’ve a couple of exciting and demanding projects in the pipeline of which there’ll be more details in due course. To add to that I’m also in the process of moving house which is taking it’s time. Fingers crossed we’re getting closer to knowing when we’ll exchange contracts soon.

Expect the next WSG event organised by Tom and Neil to be announced in the not too distant future. Cheers to both of them for stepping in, I’m sure they’ll do the WSG proud.

Post Tools

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|(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
