Technology

Bash Prompt

My .bash_profile and supporting file. Mostly, it changes my prompt and displays a splash screen when a terminal is opened. It also sets an alias for the ls command to use the fink version of ls with the color option enabled by default.

Textmate -- Emacs Style Tabs

The one thing that I missed most in all the text editors (on any OS) was the lack of Emacs style tabbing. That is, if you are in the middle of a line and hit tab it doesn’t actually insert a tab, it moves the line to the current tab-indent level.

This is very useful when you are coding. Problem is, no one seems to support it except emacs. Well, today I discovered (via a different conversation) that it is possible in Textmate (which happens to be my editor of choice right now).

You can define scopes in the scope selector if you wish. Ultimately I will set it up for everything but text, .txt, (which is the only place i want tabs to act normally)

About

The-Forgotten.Org is one of two personal websites. The-Forgotten.Org serves as my personal portal to the world wide web. On it I drop various tech related topics that were hard or impossible to find elsewhere, Martial Arts postings, and Aviation postings. Its also my dumping ground for any files that I wish to serve to the world.

Katherine & Mike, is a much more personal website that came into existence in January 2008. I share that website with Katherine, and I try to post things there that have a broader appeal to our families and friends.

If you need to get in touch with me, there are a number of options on the Contact Info page.
