Tmux scripting

Christiaan Kras — Sat, 18 May 2013 12:19:53 +0000

I’ve been using tmux for a while no to manage my terminal sessions. One thing I kept on doing was after starting tmux that I would be manually adding windows, splitting them and issuing commands in each pane such as echoing the contents of log files with tail -f. I had heard about scripting tmux before but

Disabling hiberfil.sys on Windows 7

Christiaan Kras — Tue, 07 May 2013 10:10:54 +0000

Hibernation is enabled by default on Windows 7 and Vista. But on a desktop system you usually don’t make use of hibernation. To disable it run a command line prompt (Windows Key + R, type cmd) and enter the following command: powercfg.exe -h off. On systems with a lot of memory this can free up a lot

Christiaan Kras — Fri, 03 May 2013 09:56:22 +0000

I’ve decided to move the commenting system of this website to Disqus. All existing comments are queued to be imported into Disqus. I’m not sure how long this is going to take but I expect it to be finished within a day (maybe two).

New blog design

Christiaan Kras — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:25:37 +0000

Starting the today this blog is using a new design. I think this new design looks a lot more modern than the previous one did. There’s still room for improvement though as a single request to the front page seems to generate over 130 HTTP requests. This is a bit too much to my taste so I’ll

IRSSI: Ignore joins, parts, quits and nicks messages

Christiaan Kras — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:38:27 +0000

I use IRC on a daily basis and my client of choice for that is Irssi. I run it on my Raspberry Pi which is always on, so I generally stay idle in the channels I’ve joined. Some channels have a lot of users connecting and disconnecting which clogs up the backlog a lot. I

Vim essentials: Ack

Christiaan Kras — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:14:54 +0000

Ack is a tool for searching your (code)files, much like grep already does, but better. Ack is written in Perl and works on all major platforms, including Windows. To use Ack with Vim there’s this nice plugin called ack.vim. Install it together with App::Ack and you’re set to go. With a single command (:Ack [options]

Vim essentials: NERD Commenter

Christiaan Kras — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:28:10 +0000

Another great Vim plugin I use is NERD Commenter. Using this plugin makes it easy to comment out lines of code with just a few keystrokes. By pressing <leader>cc or <leader>c<space> you can comment out your selection using a single comment character per line. With <leader>cm you can comment your selection with one set of multipart delimiters, though

Any interest in a module manager for Monkey?

Christiaan Kras — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 09:12:27 +0000

Having done a module manager for BlitzMax called Maximus I’ve received one question several times: will you also make a module manager for Monkey? My answer at the time was ‘no’. Simply because I didn’t use Monkey nor was I planning to. To be honest, I’m still not planning on using Monkey myself. But there

Purple/pink screen with HDMI-out on ASUS1215B with AMD E-350 APU

Christiaan Kras — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:51:22 +0000

Yesterday I decided to hook up my ASUS 1215B Eee PC to my LED TV through HDMI to watch some videos. I’ve used my netbook a lot for this task and thus far without any issues (aside from not being able to play 1080p video properly, even though the AMD E-350 APU shouldn’t have too much trouble with

Christiaan Kras — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:06:27 +0000

Earlier this week Google announced the cancellation of Google Reader, probably the most used web based RSS reader. As of the 1st of July 2013 you won’t be able to use Google Reader anymore. According to Google Reader I’ve been using it since 15th of April 2011. Almost 2 full years now. I’ve been subscribed to
