Starting a new job | Comments (5)

Posted in Life, Work on 21st April 2008, 12:10 am by Stuart

Tomorrow I start my new job at GCAP Media as a software developer working with Django and Python on a daily basis. I’m looking forward to learning a lot from the great team assembled there as well as working with some old friends.

It was a great experience working at Yahoo, I got the chance to work with plenty of awesome people and learnt a huge amount in my time there. So to all of you (you know who you are), thanks for everything!

As an “old school” GCap developer I must say I’m looking forward to you starting.

Hope it’s a good first day!

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
