Code to handle centering and tiling of Emacs frames
;; Functions to work with frames
(provide 'ime-frame)
(defun screen-usable-height (&optional display)
"Return the usable height of the display.
Some window-systems have portions of the screen which Emacs
cannot address. This function should return the height of the
screen, minus anything which is not usable."

Why I love zsh (and hate being forced to use bash)

Why I love zsh (and hate being forced to use bash)

  • Smarter completion. A few examples:
  • context sensitive -- if you have file "name1" and directory "name2", "cd nam<TAB>" completes to "name2/"
  • "tar xf <TAB>" completes to tarballs only. "unrar x <TAB>" completes to RARs only. etc.
  • rsync / scp completion: "rsync host:anything/<TAB>" shows you files on host under anything/
  • also works with rsync:// URLs
  • SSH host completion from ~/.ssh/config & ~/.ssh/known_hosts
  • lots of other smart completions: Rake tasks, git commands & SHAs, dpkg packages, dash-options for most commands, etc etc.

Example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages using Jekyll.

Here's an example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages:

{% gist 5555251 %}

All you need to do is copy and paste the Gist's ID from the URL (here 5555251), and add it to a gist tag surrounded by {% and %}.

Ever committed with `gem 'foobar', path: '~/source'` in your Gemfile and broken a build?This git pre-commit hook ensures you never will again.If you try and commit while a gem in your Gemfile is loading with the `:path` option, you will be stopped with a helpful message. The only exception: gems embedded within your project are allowed.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# A pre-commit hook script to ensure that no local gem dependencies (gem 'asdf', path: '~/local')
# exist in your Gemfile before commiting.`
# Allows gems to be loaded from source within the current project directory, but not from outside.
puts 'Checking for local dependencies in your Gemfile.'

Some useful Git aliases that I use every day
#
# Working with branches
#
# Get the current branch name (not so useful in itself, but used in
# other aliases)
branch-name = "!git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"
# Push the current branch to the remote "origin", and set it to track
# the upstream branch
publish = "!git push -u origin $(git branch-name)"
#!/usr/bin/perl
# This filter changes all words to Title Caps, and attempts to be clever
# about *un*capitalizing small words like a/an/the in the input.
#
# The list of "small words" which are not capped comes from
# the New York Times Manual of Style, plus 'vs' and 'v'.
