So the news is all over the web of Microsoft’s acquisition of Multimap. Having worked for Multimap briefly before joining Yahoo, I’m really amazed by this announcement and wish everyone at Multimap all the best for the future, and I look forward to seeing how Multimap is assimilated into Redmond and ultimately what they do with it.

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
