Dear lazyweb: In-ear headphone recommendations | Comments (1)

Posted in General on 23rd November 2008, 1:56 pm by Stuart

My trusty Senheisser CX300 headphones have given up – one ear has lost volume considerably so I’m in the market for a new set of in-ear headphones? Seeing as everyone and their mother has an ipod these days I’m up for hearing recommendations of what you’re using and why you like them.

I’ve been happy with the CX300′s but I’m probably not going to get another pair of the same, as I found that the rubber parts of them didn’t really fit that well and the size of my ears was somewhere between the smallest and the middle size. Sound quality was pretty good though so I’ll be up for something similar in that department.

I like the Er6i from Etymotic:

But my last pair were nicked and the Seinheiser ones were my next choice as the’re much cheeper.

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
