Takeways from the last session

[John Trupiano]

I took home the following tips from last night's session.  I encourage the other attendees to share as well.

• tmux as a replacement for screen.  Similar capabilities, actually useful vertical split.
• less.sh for colored less output.  Distributed with screen ( /usr/share/vim/vim72/macros/less.sh ).  Copy to ~/bin/vless (or somewhere else on your PATH) and use like less.
• inconsolata appeared to be the preferred font (I've still been using monaco which I'm not particularly happy with)
• Evernote is freaking awesome.
• zsh as a replacement for bash (or possibly as an inspiration for customizing bash).  Bryan has some great scripts in his zshkit repo: http://github.com/bryanl/zshkit
• 
  

Bryan and I did most of the sharing so I'd expect others to have larger lists.  Thanks for coming out guys.

/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium
--enable-extension-timeline-api > /dev/null

* homebrew for mac os package management
