tmux 1.9 just released:

http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-code ... ee/CHANGES

[machinebacon]

* Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
until after the configuration file is read completely.
* tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.

This was about time :)

Not new and not very fresh, but look at my Knight-Rider keyboard!!

That's fun :D Wasn't there a kind of extension/plugin for Pidgin to make the <whatever> led blink when a new message arrives?

[wuxmedia]

yes I think, with this thing you can push a cmd via telnet.
once the daemon is running.
On the old Mac there was program (which this might be based on) that used the keyboard LED's like a VU meter...Now that was livin' !

PORTAL 2 NOW ON LINUX HURRAHHH!!

i don't play game that often but this is the third game i've ever finished ( after the old streets of rage in Genesis , and Final Fantasy VI on snes).

[rhowaldt]

^ *beta* - but still, cool :)

[franksinistra]

yes , at least soon i don't have to fire up my mac just to play portal anymore

Viewnior is now in the Debian repos.

[machinebacon]

^ Thanks for the info, I have just a few days ago searched it -- actually just to compare its features with those of Mirage. For me, the latter is still the peanut. Opinions?

[dkeg]

I haven't compared, but mirage has not given me any reason to go elsewhere

[ivanovnegro]

Mirage here, too.

^ That is weird I have used viewnior since November of last year, I never knew it wasn't in the repos.

[machinebacon]

Because it is part of the #! repos.

This babe is hot: http://vim.spf13.com/

Instantly fell in love with it - a collection of plugins for vim. I had to use the direct link to install, like this:

Code: Select all

curl https://raw.github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/3.0/bootstrap.sh -L -o - | sh

Needs git installed, and of course vim.

[wuxmedia]

wow, IDE indeed.

[RandomCharacter]

I also saw that OpenRC has come to Debian.
