Tip: E71, accents and special characters

To all with symbian devices, especially the people with an E71:

I noticed that when you press and hold the 'Chr' key, and then simoultaniously press a letter, e.g. the e symbian will cycle through the possible accents that are applicable for that character!

Wordpress <> delicious.com synchronisation script

To post the 'The Internets @ ...' posts I am using a perl script originally written by Stephen:

http://stephen.evilcoder.com/archives/2005/02/27/daily-delicious-links-perl-script

The script was later on modified by Edward de Leau to be compatible with wordpress 2.3.

And I must say, I am very happy with this script. One problem was that it also synchronizes private links. I don't like this, when I mark a link private, it should stay private, and not posted on my wordpress. So I modified the script to be able to NOT synchronize these links.

While I was at it I also added an option to include the tags in the body of the post or not. Well actually this already existed, but was commented out. I just added a boolean to be able to choose wether to include them or not.

In the future I plan to maybe at the option to be able to choose fixed tags to be used in wordpress for a daily post.

irssi & windows

Thanks Aaron Toponce,
for pointing me to the windows_auto_renumber off option! Didn't know that one existed.

Regarding the problem that you usually remember which number a certain channel and/or conversation is(I do to) I do have a nice script which gives you an alternative 'act' bar. Instead of just the window number it also shows you the name of the channel/conversation.

The script can be found on f0rked.com and is called "Advanced Window List".

Some screenshots:

Using awl_hide_data=0, not hiding anything...


Using awl_hide_data=1, hiding inactive windows...


Using awl_hide_data=2, hiding all but msg's and query's...

I do realise that using this script can result into a very crowdy act bar, but that's what the awl_hide_data is for. You either like it or you don't and I do...

Smarter BASH prompt

After reading this post I tried out the code snippet of Jan but honestly my eyes did not like it. The yellow didn't look good to me and I also had the feeling that the smiley was a bit overkill.

But as I truly liked the Idea (thanks Jan) I changed it a bit to comfort me.
