At $newjob I’m using a late 2011 MacBook Pro, so I’ve had to relearn some keys for IRSSI. The important ones to me are: fn + up arrow / down arrow: for viewing the backscroll (page up / page down) Setting an option key to “+esc” under iTerm2 so I can hold down the key and use left and right arrows to move through open windows. »

After nearly seven years, Friday marked my last day at Red Hat. I’m taking a week off to focus on growing my beard and brewing a lot, before starting my next adventure. If you need to reach me, I’m still on teh internets. »

Here are the steps: `` wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/design/Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip unzip Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip mkdir ~/.fonts mv Roboto_Hinted_20111129/*.ttf ~/.fonts fc-cache `` »
