MC-A-Fair

We survived the Montgomery Fair! Our menu consisted of:

• Soft serve ice cream, dipped in chocolate
• Gyro (with some greens)
• Funnel cake
• Deep fried Oreos

Sky

Saw a shooting star ... beautiful. ' Hope my wish comes true.

*emacs

Finally a nice Emacs command: M-x viper-mode

GitX

While I am generally speaking a terminal fan, I started to like GitX, an OS X git GUI.

iOS

Just why did Apple decide to rename "iPhone OS" to "iOS"?
This will make searching for Cisco IOS literature and tips & tricks a pain!

Print vs. Display

Smart: "Print color output is different than screen color output because of one huge reason: print is subtractive output, while a light source like a monitor or the sun is additive output." -- Comment, AVSForum

What I am doing...

This Federal News Radio podcast covers part of my current work.

ctags & vim

The problem with Exuberant Ctags is that .h are by default C++, not C. Consequently, letting Ctags read only the header files is not enough - unless you want to have missing exports. An easy solution is to add the following definition to your "global" Makefile:

CTAGS_OPTS = -f .tags \
    --fields=+aS --c-kinds=+p --extra=+q \
    --langmap=C:.c.h --totals

Your directory-specific Makefile will look like this:

tags:
  @ctags $(CTAGS_OPTS) *.h $(SOME_OTHER_DIR)/*.h

Obviously, you want vim (and OmniCppComplete) to look for your new ".tags". Just add the following to your .vimrc:

set tags=.tags;$HOME

The ";" at the end tells vim to start looking for a ".tags" in the current directory, and if not found to go up one level, etc.
