Trying out BloGTK version 2.0. Looking good so far.
In case you didn’t noticed, I didn’t update this poor blog of mine that often.
At first I thought it was because, well, I just didn’t have anything to write. But after I have been trying out the magnificent blogit.vim script for Vim, it dawns on me that the main reason I blog so little is not that I didn’t have anything to write but more about the fact that I can’t stand the sluggishness of the web interface (yes, both Blogger and WordPress is equally bad in this department).
I guess this reinforced the fact that web application is still not ready to replace the good old, well, applications. I mean, can any web app beat the speed and responsiveness of good old local app like Vim? Maybe in the future, but definitely not now.
Kudos to all people who make blogit.vim, blogging have never been this fun. 🙂
ลองทำการเขียน blog โดยใช้ Vim script ที่ชื่อ blogit.vim ดู
เท่าที่ลองใช้ดูแล้ว ไม่เลวเลยที่เดียว นอกจากจะทำการเขียน post ใหม่ได้แล้วยังสามารถทำการแก้ไข/ลบ post เก่าๆ ได้ด้วย นอกจากนี้ยังสามารถทำการ preview post ที่เขียน (แบบ local!) ได้ด้วย ถึงแม้จะมีปัญหา encoding เมื่อตอนใช้กับภาษาไทยก็ตาม แต่ก็ถือว่าไม่ใช่เรื่องใหญ่
ชักจะติดใจซะแล้วแฮะ 😀
Try out blogging using blogit.vim Vim script.
Aside from minor issue with publish date, everything have been working great so far.
Mutt is a very nice email client. In fact, I think it is currently one of the best client to use with Gmail through IMAP.
However, I have run into a problem with Mutt on rxvt-unicode (also known as urxvt): the backspace key doesn’t seem to work in the pager and thus I cannot scroll backward through mails when reading them.
Today, I’ve found the solution. It turns out that rxvt-unicode uses some none standard value for backspace key. rxvt-unicode uses “^?”, while Mutt seems to expect… something else.
Anyway, the solution is to simply bind Mutt’s previous-line action to “^?” (that’s Ctrl + ?, so we must use “\c?” in .muttrc) and voila! The backspace key is now working.
More information about rxvt-unicode’s backspace key value can be found in its man page.
Stumbled upon a blog post on Ivan Voras’ blog which gives a nice advise on CFLAGS that provide additional optimizations for Atom CPU on my Eee PC 901.
Combine Ivan suggestion with Arch Wiki’s suggestion on safe CFLAGS for Atom and we have this:
# CFLAGS For Atom with additional optimization
CFLAGS=”-march=prescott -mfpmath=sse -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer”
CXXFLAGS=”-march=prescott -mfpmath=sse -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer”
I’ve tried out the above CFLAGS by using them to compile my custom kernel. I haven’t got time to play with it yet, but from what I’ve seen so far, things do feel faster. Bootchart showed that the system boot up faster by 1 second and Powertop showed that the system as a whole consumes less power.
I’ll have to spent more time with the new kernel to see whether this is a placebo effect or not, but things have been looking promising so far.
I meant to post this one since last month. Show just how lazy I am…
In my last post, I loudly proclaimed that GitHub is fantastic. Well, after using Mercurial (hg) and Bitbucket for these past few months, I can say that both Mercurial (and Bitbucket) are also fantastic. I especially love the fact that Bitbucket gives you one free private repository to host your private stuffs.
Anyway, If you can, try them out both and see which one you prefer.
Oh, and while you’re at it, why don’t check out my account on Bitbucket?
‘Nuff said.
Check out my GitHub account page, which hosts my customized kernel for the ASUS Eee PC 901 netbook, among other things.
