The second is a sendxmpp like Bash script based on cURL which works with the module. It is supposed to work like sendxmpp, but doesn’t support all of it’s options. You can get sendxmpp-curl here.

This allows you to post simple XMPP messages from CLI (like sendxmpp), with less round trips than a full XMPP session would require (At least I hope so).

Grattis till Norrbotten som hade överlägset högst valdeltagande

Här är ett stycke Bash-magi som ger dig en votes.txt med antal röster och på vem, sorterad fallande efter antal röster. Paketen curl, grep, sed och coreutils behövs om de inte är installerade, iaf i Ubuntu och förmodligen de flesta Debian-baserade distributionerna.

Notera att detta endast visar hur många röster som kandidaterna fått.

#!/bin/bash

curl -s "http://data.piratpartiet.se/Data/DisplayInternalPollVotes.aspx?PollId=2" |
    sed -r 's/\s$|^\s*//g' | # tar bort blanktecken
    grep -E '^[A-Z0-9]{12}\b' | # endast röster
    sed -r 's/^[A-Z0-9]{12}\s*//' | # ta bort röst-id
    sed -r 's/\s+/\n/g' | # dela upp i en kandidat per rad
    grep -E '^[0-9]' | # tar bort tomma rader
    sort | uniq -c | sort -nr > votes.txt # räkna och sortera

# Detta hämtar och byter ut medlems-nr mot namn.
curl -s "http://www.piratpartiet.se/primarvalskandidater" |
    grep -Eo '<span[^>]*SpanCandidateName[^>]*>[^<]*' | cut -d\> -f2 |
    sed -r 's/^(.*)\s+\(#([0-9]+)\)$/sed -i "s,\\b\2\\$,\1," votes.txt;/' | sh

De faktiska ska som jag förstått det viktas efter hur högt man placerat kandidater, eventuell kvotering samt hur fördelningen mellan distrikt ser ut. Så, 16:00 idag presenteras de färdiga listorna. Frågan är; vad gör vi nu?

gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme \
  --type string Emacs

Then Ctrl+W does what it should!

1. Press magic keybinding, like Super + Menu
2. You get some selection thing with all menu items
3. You type in what you want to do, filtering as you type
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

Some IRCin’

<zash_> a do-like application-menu-thing would be handy
<kholerabbi> Which is a pleasure
<kholerabbi> what do you mean?
<zash_> kholerabbi: something that lets you navigate app-menus by keyboard
<zash_> since not everything has proper keybindings
<kholerabbi> zash_: that's actually kind of interesting...
<zash_> and navigating gigantic menu trees with touchpad is a pain
<kholerabbi> you can already use the keyboard (arrow kets etc.)
<zash_> kholerabbi: yes, but arrows and alt+underlined char only does so
        much
<kholerabbi> agreed
<zash_> label-matching ala gnome-do would be faster
<kholerabbi> so you'd press a shortcut (super+menu) then type 'about' or
             'new'...
<zash_> precisly
<kholerabbi> You should mock it up. If it's really a good idea it will
             catch on. Consider large menus like the gimp and inkscape in
             your designs
<kholerabbi> ok
<kholerabbi> I need sleep, but think on it and maybe talk to the global
             menu people
 * zash_ needs moar coffee!

Some bash testing

grep MenuItem some_window.glade -A 3 | \
grep -E '<property[^>]+name="label"' | \
grep -Eo '>[^<>]+' | sed 's/^>//g' | \
sed s/_// | dmenu -b -i

• create symlinks from the wordpress root directory to everything in wp-content/cache/supercache/(blog.hostname)/
• disable directory listings
• point server.error-handler-404 to /index.php

Like this:

    $HTTP["host"] == "blag.zash.se" {
            server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"
            dir-listing.activate = "disable"
    }

The stuff i have in the supercache/blag.zash.se/ directory is: 2009, category, page, tag. Oh, and of course index.html, which is configured to take precedence over index.php. If you have other virtual directories in your root you will need to create symlinks for those too. And of course for each year, if you have that kind of setup.

Also, with mod_compress, there’s no need for WP Super Cache’s own (apparently buggy) compression. And you get compression of scripts and style sheets.

Waste of space on my tiny screen

The unused space on my tiny screen above the maximized window annoys me, so i downloaded the source whith apt-get source xfce4-panel and added a setting to disable setting the _NET_WM_STRUT properties. Here’s a tarball of my patches.

Yay, less wasted space.

The setting can be enabled by editing ~/.config/xfce/panel/panels.xml and add (or change if it already exists) <property name="disable_struts" value="1"/> in the <properties> element.

A better long term solution would probably to have the window manager ignore struts for maximized windows when a panel does not cover the entire border.

Folk verkar tro att saker är trasiga när Firefox ssl-varningar dycker upp.

CAcert är annars awesome!
