I ALWAYS forget how to create new mysql databases... it's horrible. I do this so infrequently which means I also have to google everytime it comes up.

-- First create the database
create database new_database;

-- Then give all privs to the correct user

So I've been working my way through Diablo 3's Inferno. I got INSANELY lucky during Act 2 of Inferno when I found... well I found the best bow I've ever seen in game period. It sold for 500 mil on the AH and I was able to gear out myself and my wife with some pretty great gear.

Clearly I was making my way through Act2 already but it would have ( Read more... )

This past week I've finally started playing sc2 again. I started with 4v4's winning all 5 placement matches (placing into Diamond) and then losing my first real game tonight. The game I lost was a 3v4 though so I don't feel that bad about it.

Today was a big day though: I finally started playing 1v1 tonight! I decided to start playing random on ( Read more... )

git fsck --full --no-reflogs | grep commit

If you delete a branch you can still find those hanging commits and rescue them!

So after moving to CA we clearly don't need our Sovereign Bank accounts anymore. I set out the other day on a mission to clear all auto payments from them, and also close the account.

The first people I talked to said I need to get the account down to a $0 balance. Simple. I cleared out auto payments, made sure everything was in order. Did a $1.18 ( Read more... )

I finally got around to play with full screen apps in lion and love it. Of course the one thing missing from my current setup is Emacs full screen support.

I found a version of the emacs homebrew recipe that supports full screen:

I've been running my own mumble server for a while. I installed the ubuntu mumble-server packages and it's been completely stable ever since. Recently however I needed to setup a second murmur server. Murmur comes with this ability built it but it's not available via the config file. The config file only sets up default configuration. To actually ( Read more... )

I spend a lot of time the past few days looking into CSS grid systems. My main reason for this was being sick of laying out things myself. There's so much you have to do and be careful of when laying out css and due to this I often ended up absolutely positioning way too many things. I also was not very careful about clearfixing which leads to ( Read more... )

I recently wanted an easier way to look up Java class documentation from Emacs and found this project: Javadoc-Help

Works great. You add localtions (local or remote) with generated Javadoc and then this code will open up the page in your browser.

Installation was easy. I added the one .el file to my .emacs.d/lisp directory and then added the ( Read more... )
