Re: dwm
DWM is one that has so far eluded me. Failed miserably the first attempt. I may kick this around tonight or this weekend. Still happy with monster as my main, so should be interesting to see the differences

Re: dwm
I decided to give DWM a quick spin and have actually quite enjoyed it. Keybinding take a bit getting used to, as they are radically differant to me than those of Awesome, i3, or Openbox.

Re: dwm
Correct! Now... um... is there a wiki article about that somewhere? (I have gotten too stuck in my plebian ways! I have no clue how to begin tweak it!) Is there a config file somewhere (perhaps under the rainbow?)machinebacon wrote:Nice! Now time to modify the top bar ;)

Re: dwm
^ anything you print to the root-window title shows up in the dwm status bar. Adding conky is simple (see the end of this wiki article):
http://linuxbbq.org/wiki/index.php?title=Dwm
(you need a simple out-to console conkyrc) like the one in my github: https://github.com/pidsley/windowmangle ... yrc-tilers
other status can be printed with "xsetroot -name"
If you need more help please ask.

Re: dwm
My sig? It is based on a notation by Jack Handey. I have worked around people in family crisis counseling and it is amazing to observe the stresses pulling apart the fundamental social structure of society. Money, lust, entertainment are all taking their toll on children, whose lives have been proven to be fundamentally inpacted by the stability of the home in which they grew up. According to the Single Parent Success Foundation, a national nonprofit that encourages educational opportunities for single parents:dkeg wrote:good one man, I like that!
what's the story behind your sig? You don't have to answer if you don't want.
• 63 percent of suicides nationwide are individuals from single-parent families.
• 75 percent of children in chemical dependency hospitals are from single-parent families.
• More than half of all youths incarcerated in the U.S. lived in one-parent families as a child.
There appears to be a deep problem within these structures, and it has been my goal to identify why they are so unsuccessful. While I am still far from a conclusion, it has been amazing to see what a change there is in the lives of youth (young men especially) when they have a father figure that comes alongside them to mentor and guide them. Heck, he doesn't even seem to have to do that: he just needs to be there! It also doesn't seem to matter what kind of man the father-figure is: skinhead or neckbeard, engineer or mechanic, they all seem to increase the grades and psychology of youth in positive ways. Anywho, off my hobby horse :D
tl;dr in between ricing and recompiling gentoo kernels, take time to have coffee with a youngster. future society will be impacted by you.

^ Thank you Dr_Chroot for this post, and ... really welcome to the grill, it's my pleasure to have you around :)
It's true that a *father figure* is often enough, it doesn't have to be the 'genetic' father. This is especially the case with the male teens between 13 and 18, more or less. Can have a huge impact on ones life.
I remember we had a similar post *somewhere on the forums*, a whole thread IIRC, about how "boys are no boys anymore" thanks to the lack of father figure, gotta dig it up... IIRC it was written by DebianJoe. *forums_search on*

Re: dwm
^ indeed, thinking of that thread too. damnit, a while back i saw a video that explained exactly why boys are no longer boys because of (amongst things) the zero-tolerance policy in American schools. in short: boy draws gun, gets arrested instead of allowed to exhibit his boyish behavior. the video was much better though :)

^^ hihihi, just noticed the double entendre in the 'boy draws gun' sentence... guns can actually be drawn without pencil... :D

Re: dwm
Agree, great post and kudos to the work you do. I was a latch key kid, and have worked extremely hard over the past several years to overcome any resultant shortcomings. Lack of father figures is bad news. I'm always so retrospective about the actions I take with my kids and what I shouldn't have done and what I should do more.

Building ncmpcpp from source is bloat :D (The build-deps and libboost stuff has pulled in like 80MB of stuff!)
I like the wallpaper there ;)
