postlogic's privates

While I know there are a ton of these available on the web already, I've not found anyone covering both setting up UTF-8 and getting Home/End working properly (as in, jumping to the beginning of a line and to the end of a line, instead of scrolling to the beginning and end of the buffer, which for some reason Apple thought was brilliant). I'm also going to cover how to get word movement (ctrl+arrow left/right) working, as well as getting backspace and forward delete functional.. This was all tested and is fully working even with SSH and GNU/Screen running. I'm using OS X 10.4.11 Tiger.

Haven't updated for such a long time.

To summarize: Wine is good (right now), so are studies (in general), work is decent (as usual), girlfriend is the best thing ever (nomnom) and there you go.

Actually, I think I'll elaborate this a bit more. In the past months it's been kind of hectic. A lot of things has happened. My former relationship ended back in November, whereas we both moved. She moved away, I moved a whole story down. I like it in my student block, so I figured I might as well stay for a while longer.

Haven't updated this blog for ages.. But lately I've been busy with school (tons to do) and work. And I really haven't had anything to talk about.

I'm back on Firefox cause Flock crashed a lot, we eat meat now and then and I still use Openbox. That's about it.

So, the last couple of days I decided to give Flock a go. So far, it actually works fine, too. Seems like it's a bit snappier than Firefox, and these social networking features aren't really anything I've tried, until now.

I'm actually writing this throug the "Blog this" feature when you right click a web page in Flock. Works flawlessly with Drupal and a range over other systems providing an API.

Not sure if I'm going to end up with this as my normal browser, but I'm still willing to give it a try even longer.

Here's a very good video I found on reddit by Douglas Crockford from Yahoo!, covering the history and basics of javascript. I found it quite interesting, perhaps you will too. Video below.

A friend of mine just showed me this extension called Googlepedia. For me it was just what I needed. When you search for something on Google, perhaps only to have it display a link to Wikipedia, it also displays a wikipedia article alongside the results. Quite nice! Screenie is below.

Screenshot!

You can also expand and hide the article entirely, if it keeps getting in the way. Nifty.

I know there are people who not necessarily know about these, and they sure as hell make life easier.

First, there's the issue of the two clipboards existing. One primary, which saves everything you mark (not dependant on X), and the other, often used by GTK+ and others, where you copy and paste text using more widely used methods, mod+c and mod+p. I've noticed that if you try to paste text you marked, then mod-copied, and then try pasting it by usign the normal middle-click, it won't paste, because the ctrl-c actually overrides. Atleast, that's what frequently happen in my experience.

I just read the most interesting article about an unnoticed cure for cancer. It turns out, apparently, there's this medicine, unpatented, which also is cheap to produce can cure cancer. However, medical companies do not make profit from it, so they have it go unnoticed by.

While I'm not sure if this is true, it's always worth a shot to make people more aware or it.

Yeah, me and my girlfriend decided to attempt being vegetarian for a month, or more, if it turns out to work.

There are absolutely no political, ethical or other principles involved in this, we simply wish to try out a vegetarian diet. I've never attempted this before, so it'll be a nice learning experience.

Right now I'm on the 5th day. Other than some (excuse me for saying it) gas, which will probably subside, I actually feel quite good. I don't really miss meat either, as I've been eating food I'm already quite fond of, so there's nothing to miss. Atleast not yet.
