Hi,

Passwordstate looks much better. If you are looking for team based usage, give it a try. Only issue is that it is not php based but MS based

Comment on Tools I use: tmux by Diwaker Gupta

@A B: Actually I wasn’t complaining about the vi-like key bindings at all. I was complaining about the lack of mouse support. In screen, I can scroll back the buffer and select/copy text using my mouse (just like I can in most terminals). But with tmux, as soon as I enter copy-mode, the mouse basically doesn’t work at all for selections.

I’m not sure where you found the idea that you can’t scroll, copy or paste in tmux without using vi keys, tmux by default uses emacs key bindings, you have to explicitly configure it if you want vi keys (this is the opposite of screen which defaults to vi-like key bindings).

Comment on Thematic: the final word in Wordpress themes by Diwaker Gupta

Diwaker Gupta — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:50:17 +0000

@danny: Actually we did two initial drafts using Thematic. In the end, we went with Irresistible because modifying it to get what Surabhi wanted was easier than building a Thematic child theme.

Comment on Angies List by Melvin

Yes, you don’t have to pay to be on Angie’s List unless you want your company to be seen. The 1st 12 spots are reserved for contractors who pay.

Angie’s List also won’t allow me to state anywhere, print or Web that my company won an award from them if it’s older than 1 year old. How can they be such bullies… the fact is that my company won the award.

Angie’s List biggest source of income comes from Companies advertising.

It is true that a company has to be listed by one of their paying customers.

But it is also true that a company owner \ family member \ friend can become a customer and then post a review of that company.

Technically all they have to claim is that they know them, they came out and that they looked professional.

And say I haven’t used their service but I will definitely be using them in the future.

This is assuming we live in a perfect world.

There is now way for Angie,’ List to confirm the identities of their customer and verify the facts.

Anybody can pay, sign up, and say anything positive.

When there is money involved, there are interests involved.

There are always many true facts.

It just depends from which side they are coming.

Just to make this whole topic more interesting, my biggest annoyance with screen seems to be on the mend. Turns out that Ubuntu’s screen (at least) has vertical splits (yourescapekey->pipe). This could be related to byobu (I don’t fully understand what the heck that is). This screen in Ubuntu has it:
screen 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06
This screen in Gentoo does not:
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06
So go figure. I didn’t really want the hassle of switching, but I must say that tmux really did their best to ease that transition.

Also, tmux cures screen’s most absurd problem: impossible to search google for it (reminds me of my browser named “links”).

Time to give tmux a proper chance!

@Nikhil: Just make sure your TERM variable is set correctly. It should be xterm-256color. You can find my tmux.conf here: http://github.com/diwakergupta/config/blob/master/tmux.conf
