Using better_errors on Ubuntu with SublimeText 2

After I installed the fantastic better_errors gem, I was disappointed to notice that linking to your text editor doesn't work correctly on Ubuntu (at least, it didn't for me). Here's how I fixed it.

First, create a new desktop entry:

# /usr/share/applications/subl-urlhandler.desktop

module Geneticist
  # The syntax is easy here. If you know how to set up a Punnett Square in real life,
  # it's pretty self explanatory.
  #
  #   # Checking for green eyes
  #   square = Geneticist::PunnettSquare.new('Gg', 'gg')
  #   square.result
  #   #=> {"Gg"=>2, "gg"=>2}
  #
  #   # Checking a cross between a spider ball python and a pastel ball python

Europe Grand Tour Notebook

Rome, Italy

We arrived in Rome very early in the morning, after having endured an 8-hour plane ride. Due to the difference in time, we left Tampa International at 12 P.M. or so, and arrived at the Roman countryside at around 7:30 A.M. the next day. I didn't sleep on the plane a bit; it was extremely uncomfortable. The food wasn't bad, though. I learned the importance of standing occasionally.

We stayed at the Hotel Tiziano, a relatively large and up-scale hotel only a few blocks away from the Pantheon. They had old-fashioned metal keys, affixed via keychain to large weights which displayed our room numbers. I stayed in a small room with a king-sized bed with a TV on the opposite wall, end stands standing at either side, and a desk for work in a small nook sporting a beautiful, close-up view of a brick wall. The bathroom was small and the shower even smaller, about large enough to bathe an adult mouse.

Web design path

• [HTML][html]
• [CSS][css]
• [JavaScript][javscript]

You can stop there if you only want to learn basic web design. If you want to make web-apps and stuff, these are highly recommended:

• [Ruby][ruby]
• [Sass][sass] (think of this as super-powered CSS)
• [CoffeeScript][coffee] (think of this as super-powered and better-looking JavaScript)

# Usage:
#   every 250, (stop) ->
#     stop() if condition

# 
# Still preserves original behavior if you want to do that:
#   interval_id = every 250, someFunction
#   clearInterval(interval_id)
