AIGLX ＋ beryl 终于跑起来了

比XGL还要顺畅
哦yeah!

reStructuredText

rst可以让你从文本文件生成html/xml/LaTeX

还是screen

C-o会和vim里的命令冲突的
所以现在用\\
escape \\\\
意思是\是命令键，相当于之前的C-a，要打反斜线\就打两个\\
同理 escape ^Oo 意思是C-o是命令键，C-o o就相当于C-o

看来我应该放弃AIGLX的努力了

Information about unsupported hardware

• The open-source ATI driver (radeon) uses software rendering for alpha (transparency). This makes Compiz unusably slow on a Radeon 9200 (one of the fastest cards supported). No word from ATI on when their proprietary driver (which has proper 3d acceleration) will support AIGLX.

想让screen更像个桌面么？

需要有个好的screenrc
screen的默认配置的最大问题是ctrl-A和bash里回到行首的快捷键冲突，导致要使用后者要多打一个a(ctrl-a a)。比较麻烦。
下面这个screenrc重定义了这个快捷键
而且加上了一个更漂亮的caption，有日期时间主机名等
现在terminal是否有tab功能对我来说已经无所谓了
哈哈
# ~/.screenrc
# use visual bell
vbell on
# replace ctrl-A by ctrl-O
escape ^Oo
# set a big scrolling buffer
defscrollback 5000
# Set the caption on the bottom line
caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c"

一个python脚本，把一个目录下所有文件转成utf8编码

chardet package is in gentoo-china-overlay
layman -a gentoo-china
I have already filed a chardet's bug, requesting it to be added to portage
However, no response yet

#! /usr/bin/python
import sys,chardet,shutil,os,tempfile

def convert(fname):
        fp = open(fname)
        text = fp.read()
        encoding = chardet.detect(text)['encoding']
        rate = chardet.detect(text)['confidence']
        if rate > 0.9 and not encoding == 'utf-8':
                tmp,tmpname=tempfile.mkstemp()
                os.write(tmp, unicode(text,encoding).encode('utf-8'))
                shutil.move(tmpname, fname)

if __name__=="__main__":
        dir = sys.argv[1]
        for f in os.listdir(dir):
                pathname = os.path.join(dir, f)
                convert(pathname)

gdb里调试信号处理函数

要执行handle signum nostop
这样在收到信号的时候gdb就不会暂停执行
对于SIGINT，还需要
handle SIGINT pass
这样SIGINT信号就不会被gdb所截住，而是发给正在debug中的程序

Videos of SHLUG's talk on 9.10 is releasing!

http://www.shlug.org/
There were 3 talks on that day.
One of them is about Godson.
A Godson's real machine was shown during the talk.

Emacs + Gdb

早有耳闻这两者是不错的搭配
真正试验了一把之后发现
那岂止是不错，那是相当的不错！
绝配啊

Linux的程序员一定要试一下
否则终生遗憾

两个提示：
一个是在~/.emacs里定义变量gdb-many-windows：(defvar gdb-many-windows t)
再一个是启用gub-tooltip-mode，这样鼠标指向源代码里的变量时，emacs就能以tooltip提示框的形式显示变量的地址和值。再也不用p和x了。

简直是太方便了，太方便了！

gdb in emacs, gdbtui and inputrc

In readline, C-j functions like "enter" key.
However, I defined C-j as menu-complete in my ~/.inputrc.
So, in gdbtui and when using gdb in emacs, enter key don't function as
usual, instead it performs menu-complete. As a consequence, i can't
use gdbtui and gdb in emacs.
I solved the problem myself.
I just thought that this problem should has something to do with
readline library.
Maybe my readline is too new? This is my first suspicion.
Then I suddenly remembered that I had redefined some key-binding in my
~/.inputrc.
Thus, the problem solved.

gdb在c++程序里设置断点

原来需要写出完整的函数名，从namespace开始
比如ost::ScriptCommand::getMember
不需要用mangle过的名字

有时候可能需要执行
set language c++

mozilla-launcher支持aoss了

这样看youtube就不必再手工用aoss firefox来启动了。

还有audacious支持id3 tag的编码侦测了，这是Liu Qing提供的消息。
