Recently, I’ve been using vim within tmux for a lot of my development. It’s been a very good experience on Ubuntu 16.04 in gnome-terminal. However, the colors were not identical within tmux as they are in standalone vim. Obviously, this really bothers you after a while. Well, not a while. Pretty much immediately, haha. But I put up with it to forego shaving that yak in order to actually get shit done™.

2015 will go down as another legendary year of hard rock and metal album releases this decade. According to last.fm, I listened to a shit load of records this year. My number 1 and number 2 entries this year were the closest they’ve ever been.
Let’s get it on!
25.) Indian Handcrafts - Creeps

Tonight I was chatting with someone interested in buying a Dell XPS 15 versus a Macbook Pro. Having used the XPS 15 for almost a year now I had a lot of good things to say about it. There’s a few things I had to do in order to get it even closer to the perfect dev machine (still not quite there, but nothing is).

In the beginning… For the past few years I’ve used KeePass as my password management solution, both for personal and work related credentials. It’s a great product. When I moved from PC to OS X and eventually Linux I used KeepassX and the Android client, KeePassDroid, with great success. I stored my .kdbx database in DropBox for easy syncing between my many machines and devices. I felt comfortable with the security and usability at the time.

I’ve been running Ubuntu Desktop on my desktop machine at home for a few years now (I put together a great system in January 2014). Just recently, in November 2014, I switched my work laptop from a retina MacBook Pro to a Dell XPS 15 (High DPI w/ touchscreen: amazon.com ) running Ubuntu Desktop 14.04. For some reason, I prefer Linux to OS X, I guess I’m weird, heh.
The screen on this model is a 3200x1800 touchscreen, and text looks just as good (if not better) than the retina MacBook does at max DPI.
