I get annoyed when vim jumps to another file when using :make. To disable it, just add ! to the end,
:make!

I saw this today when trying to run a nosetest in MacVim:
DistutilsPlatformError: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now “10.4″ but “10.7″ during configure
Add this to your .vimrc to fix this weird message.
let $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = “10.7″

I got really excited at the notion of having IPython built into MacVim (vim-ipython), so over the last few days I’ve spent some time mucking around trying to get this whole thing to work. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of documentation on how to fix the issues that might pop up, so hopefully this [...]
This isn’t just for virt-manager, but any X-Windows app you’d want to tightly integrate into your daily routine. Instead of firing up X11, then SSH’ing to your VM box and typing out virt-manager (insane!) you can script X11 to do everything with 1 mouse click. I have it in my Dock, and Launchbar also recognizes [...]

There is no UNSIGNED (as per the standard). * There are no spatial data types GEOMETRY, POINT, LINESTRING & POLYGON (go use Postgres). * No YEAR field type. * There are no FULLTEXT indexes for [...]
It’s been a while since I wrote any C, but I still appreciate reading posts about it. 6 years ago the architect of Varnish wrote an excellent post on how people are still managing their memory incorrectly. It reminds me of a post I wrote 5 years ago called
Many command line utils have a . file that people rarely use. Ack is one of them.
For a project I’m working on, there’s a var folder (ignored in git) where all the logs go. When I perform an ack search, I have no interest in ack looking through the var folder every single [...]
A coworker pointed me to this Nginx module today. You can write a chat server without actually writing a server. The message thread below indicates incredible performance. If you’ve got more than 50K users and 9000 messages / second you might be able to upgrade your hardware, or at least load balance your channels between [...]
I’ve been doing backend development exclusively for a long time now. When I decided to build splitmytab.net, I had sourced the front end development to HTML burger. I got the design through 99designs. Both were fine, but I really didn’t require anything past a basic utility site.
When I decided to [...]
Splitmytab.net is finally for the public to check out. Splitmytab is a bill splitting and IOU system for friends. It uses facebook’s login, so you won’t need to put in anyone’s emails, names, or get people to sign up for an account.
It’ll automatically keep balances of who owes who, so you can keep a [...]
