hListing unleashed | 1 Comment

Over on the YDN Blog, Ben Ward has written a detailed post on the use of hListing microformats in the latest release of the Kelkoo shopping comparison site. In the article Ben provides some neat examples of exactly how these microformats can be utilised to display product information on a 3rd party site.

Having been part of the highly caffeinated team that worked on the site, it’s great to see recognition for the team’s hard work in implementing so many microformats into the site and in particular, Ben’s pioneering work in bringing 26.5 million hListings into the world.

    “Highly caffeinated team”… ;-)

    Congrats Ben, and self songratulations as well.

    By the way, what will happen to the coffee machine now that almost all the ex-team is fleeing ?

    Coffee ‘s not bad at Opera but there’s room for improvment.

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
