Last active December 13, 2015 21:18 — forked from presstube/gist:1299452
Main update from the fork and the awesome post by opinionated programmer is that the default prompt is based on the Ubuntu one, and allows to show Python's virtual environment. Add the snippet to .bash_profile or .bashrc
# Snazzy git prompt

function _git_prompt() {
local git_status="`git status -unormal 2>&1`"
if ! [[ "$git_status" =~ Not\ a\ git\ repo ]]; then
if [[ "$git_status" =~ nothing\ to\ commit ]]; then
local ansi=42
elif [[ "$git_status" =~ nothing\ added\ to\ commit\ but\ untracked\ files\ present ]]; then
local ansi=43

Patterns to use aria roles, both HTML and a sketch for the CSS
<!-- navigational menubar (with drop down submenu, without works as well) -->
<nav aria-label="main" role="navigation"><!-- role explicit for older browsers, using aria-label to differentiate from other navs -->
<ul role="menubar" aria-activedescendant="home-menuitem">
<li role="presentation">
<a href="#" role="menuitem" aria-selected="true" id="home-menuitem">Home</a></li>
<li role="presentation">
<a href="#" role="menuitem" aria-selected="false" id="link-menuitem">Link</a>
</li>

When my grandmother was young, her parents Alma and Olof Frid (which, yes, is where I got Vendela's surname from), had foster children at least occasionally.

One such child was a little girl whose mother had died (I don't know where the father was). The little girl was getting sicker, and at one point my grand-aunt was babysitting the child. She fell asleep, and when she woke up a woman dressed in white was leaning over the cradle. The woman picked up the child and walked away. My grand-aunt rushed over to the cradle. The child was dead.

Sometime later, my grand-aunt saw a photo of a young woman. She recognized the woman in the picture as the one she'd seen and asked who it was. That was the child's mother.

This is used in my story as something that Vendela's grandmother Elis tells her happened to her. The child in that story is a boy named Antonius, which is Olof Frid's middlename.
