Want to share your command line 'Geekiness' with the rest of the world??

Use TTYShare ;)

I've recently started using a great vim plugin called snippetsEmu. One other plugin that I already had was yankring.

Unfortunately not all worked well and I had the following error when jumping from an unnamed tag:

Error detected while processing function 40_Jumper..40_ChangeVals:
line 16:
E713: Cannot use empty key for Dictionary

This is due to some conflict between SnippetsEmu and Yankring.

To resolve this bug simply downgrade the Yankring plugin to the 2.2 version.

Sometimes it is useful to don't autoload a kernel module. I use it so that vmware can use it's own driver for an usb disk.

Simply edit the file:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

And insert the module that you don't want to be autoloaded (in this case usb-storage)

blacklist usb-storage

Or in one single command:

echo "blacklist usb-storage" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Checkout this video where Jeff Hawkins describes how our brain works and how machines can simulate it using a hierarchical structure. He compares this notion with some of the Turing Machine assumptions.

Change the User-Agent Header so Webservers don't know what browser you are really running (I need this because hardly anyone knows what Iceweasel is, so I need it to change to Firefox).

Just write about:config in the url and then search the name:

* general.useragent.extra.firefox

Now just change the value to anything you want.
