Mac iTerm hint

Here's a quick tip for using iTerm to connect to Linux servers. 

To get proper arrow key support in programs like vi, along with some other benefits, set the terminal type to 'linux'.  The easiest way to do this is to create a new profile and use that profile for bookmarks that represent Linux servers you connect to.

Productivity Tips

Submitted by meecect on Tue, 04/28/2009 - 1:28pm

I've spent a fair amount of time trying to overcome procrastination. By this point, I've developed a few tools and tricks that help me. I hope you will find them useful. I don't always practice each tip, or use each tool, but I keep them all on the shelf. I've found that I quickly can develop an 'immune response' to some of these, so it pays to be able to rotate your strategies for maintaining a high level of productivity.

This article is Mac-centric in terms of software, because that is what I use. Where an application is mentioned, you can usually find a Windows alternative.

Firefox extension frustration on a Mac

Submitted by meecect on Tue, 01/13/2009 - 3:36am

I was attempting to develop a simple firefox extension by following several online guides. More than one mentioned how to create a 'redirect' file in your profiles/extension directory.

None of these guides worked but I found a simple fix that I'd like to share with you.
