Motivation It’s sometimes useful to see precise date and time an application was compiled.

Pre-history I really like mplayer because: it is very powerful; yet quite easy to use from command-line; has sane defaults; no GUI which just stands between me and video I want to watch.

_XOPEN_SOURCE dnl Request some additional extensions.

Recently I needed to use tmux.

Mainly for historical reasons, vifm contained the following pieces of code:

This may sound strange, but it seems that I have never thought about overloading of unary operators in C++, which are not implemented as member functions.

Today I found an interesting statement on one of forum pages of LOR: initializers of inner aggregates can be flattened.

Recently support for processing escape sequences in preview window was added to vifm.

This sounds like an easy task at first.

This is a very simple thing, but I just can’t make myself remember it.

Some time ago I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out how one can share common parts of code in two Web-services running in Apache Tomcat.

Unfortunately, some features of well known programming languages are much less known than others.

As any other programmer once in a while I find some new tiny but quite useful trick, which I then apply to my sources.

Today I accidentally trapped on this part of Arch Linux wiki page on Bash.

Since I’m using Vim and terminal constantly the only right way of going through command-line history in my world is using Control-P (<c-p> or ^P; to go backwards) and Control-N (<c-n> or ^N to go forwards).

I was wondering how can I connect to my laptop from work for some time, but didn’t know how to do that without using VPN.

Prehistory Once I read somewhere that it’s possible to add some colours to your shell’s (bash in my case) prompt using escape sequences.

Here is part of code I wrote once: String execute(String data) { String result = null; try { final Execute execute = new Execute(); execute.setId(id); execute.setData(data); result = cmiss.execute(execute).getData();

It’s not hard to do, but not as easy as one might expect.

Today I accidentally found a very unexpected thing in Vim.

This day I finally made a decision to start posting some notes on computer related stuff and mainly about how I solved some minor issues with software.
