Refresh rate in Vienna

to osx rss terminal by madams on May 08, 2007
Change the default refresh rate in seconds for the Vienna RSS reader to whatever you want. Anything less than 1800 seconds might be considered bad netiquette, but it's useful if you're only subscribed to internal feeds (e.g., activeCollab, Connector). 

defaults write uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 CheckFrequencyInSeconds 60

load/unload postgres (via ports) launch deamon

to osx launchd postgres by madams on Mar 19, 2007
Enable or disable the automatic launch of the postgresql server installed via macports. Starts or stops the daemon and modifies the launchd manifest.

launchctl load -w /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.darwinports.postgresql81-server/org.darwinports.postgresql81-server.plist

launchctl unload -w /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.darwinports.postgresql81-server/org.darwinports.postgresql81-server.plist

twitter from the command line

to shell terminal twitter by madams on Mar 18, 2007
Replace username/password with your info. The message is posted as the status text.

curl -u username:password -d status="<What are you doing?>" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

Bar graph of file, folder sizes on TxD

to shell unix file by madams on Jan 04, 2007 1 Comments
From besonen.

Prints an ordered list of file and folder sizes in human readable form, with a bar graph to show the relative size of each item.

du -k | sort -n | perl -ne 'if ( /^(\d+)\s+(.*$)/){$l=log($1+.1);$m=int($l/log(1024)); printf("%6.1f\t%s\t%25s  %s\n",($1/(2**(10*$m))),(("K","M","G","T","P")[$m]),"*"x (1.5*$l),$2);}'

start postgres

to terminal postgres by madams on Aug 10, 2006
Postgres was installed through darwinports, so

/opt/local/lib/postgresql81/bin/pg_ctl -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql81/defaultdb/ start

shell/vim .rc's for Japanese support (UTF-8)

to shell osx terminal vim Japanese by madams on Jun 03, 2006
Get Japanese (and other multibyte, ascii-unfriendly languages) working in the Terminal.

.inputrc (bash)
set convert-meta off
set meta-flag on
set output-meta on


.cshrc (tcsh)
set dspmbyte=utf8


.vimrc
:set enc=utf-8
:set fenc=utf-8


And don't forget 'ls -w' or 'ls -v' to display files and directories.

Preferences: Uncheck 'Emulation > Escape non-ASCII characters';

CSS for printing Instiki pages with @media rule

to css instiki by madams on May 13, 2006
Insert in your Stylesheet tweaks to get black---instead of gray--text when pages are printed.

@media print {
    body {
        color: black;
        background-color: white;
        font-size: 10pt;
    }

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
        color: black;
    }

    a, a:link, a:active, a:visited {
        color: black;
        border-bottom: thin dotted;
        text-decoration: none;
    }

 h1#pageName, .newWikiWord a, a.existingWikiWord, .newWikiWord a:hover, #TextileHelp h3 { 
      color: black; 
    }
}
