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

Nice! Coffee geekery to the max!
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…
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.
