So well done it's creepy.

Food: Thinking about Bosna sausage

Image
There's some fast food hot dog they have in Austria called the bosna, which I had a hankering for the other day. I guess I had a sausage which was similarly spiced and reminded me of this wonderful food. I can't seem to find a recipe on the internet but I remember it having onions, curry (and paprika?) on a long sausage. Yum. The picture is from Salzburg, Austria and is the actual hole in the wall that I often bought from.

Simple fix to Gnome Terminal

I often double click on a filename or folder and then paste it with the middle button (the scroll wheel), in Linux. What annoyed me was that it doesn't get the ~ character so if I'm cutting an pasting my current path as shown on the command line scott@home:~/src/folder/name$ Double click, middle click gives me /src/folder/name and not ~/src/folder/name . How annoying, I have to cursor all the way to the beginning and enter the tilde character. Even worse if there's an error message like: Error in ~/src/folder/name.cc:123 Double click, middle click gives me now /src/folder/name.cc:123 . Now I have to edit both sides. The fix is simple, go to your Gnome Terminal|Profiles... and edit your default profile. The first pane called "General" and has a field called "Select-by-word characters". Add the tilde (~) and remove the colon (:) and you're done. There, I just saved you 2 thousand keystrokes a year.
