    Gave up on making it pretty... But my tip is to read the manual so you know what you put in your config instead of just copy paste. I love tmux, does exactly what I need it to do a…

    I don't know, maybe I got used to it real quick. When the new (and better :P) coke zero came out people didn't shut up about it, so would be strange if they changed pepsi and almos…

    Carlsberg Sverige and Ringnes AS (also Carlsberg), I'm guessing it's made locally. Haven't notice anything with the Swedish Pepsi max and I'm drinking _a lot_ of it. Didn't get the…

    I don't have Netflix every month anymore. The content is getting more spread out over so many of these newer streaming services. Before it was ok, Netflix was cheap enough and had …

    I recently got locked out of a site because they screwed up validation. I used a gmail alias to sign up, my.mail+thesite@gmail.com, couldn't submit, couldn't trick it to submit any…

    But it's not just putting a finger on the trackpad, that doesn't trigger a click. It's a really quick tap. But I'm not out to convince anyone so do your thing :)

    Oh good. Think everyone here is trying themselves right now. I don't really see anything when I picture stuff in my head, it is more that I know how something looks or should look …

    Swearing a lot at ducks while fishing, never got more than a quack back so far and I hope it stays that way, but I'll keep my ears open!

    There is no cure. Not for me anyway. Swedish midsummer celebrations tomorrow and I just bought a bottle of Havana Club and a bunch of beers. I know what to expect and only time wil…

    But it's a choice, like not having a smartphone, the rest of us still want and can have nice things. In the cases where it's not a choice it's something else, some may need to make…
