    Quite frankly awesome.
    I bought a Wii for the office today. Now I know what would have happened if we hadn’t waited for you to leave…

    The more info link talks about Silvia and Arduino as if they are real people. I think the guy must be on something… :-D

    OK, I’m sold, when do we start hacking? Totally awesome.

    Yep I’m almost certainly going to do this hack on my Slivia. Let’s also bribe some Yahoo’s to bring us the Y! Silvia in exchange for beer.

Insert a tab character in vim when expand tabs is on|(0)

I have vim set-up to use spaces in place of tabs. Sometimes you need to use an actual tab e.g. editing a Makefile. Now whilst it’s possible to change settings so that tabs are used for specific files, a quick tip to remember is to simply type in insert mode:

Ctrl+v tab

That is Ctrl and “V” and hit the tab key, et voila you’ve entered an actual tab.

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"
