Yesterday I found The Admin Zen. Recommended reading for all the systems administrators out there. I liked the fact that some of the principles are loosely based on The Zen of Python, which you can read by just typing the following in a console:
python -c 'import this'
Enjoy… and keep your stuff up and running 
Today I have found the perfect solution for one of the usual headaches when you are diving into code of several projects which have different coding style: indentation. Just grab the DetectIndent script, place it into ~/.vim/plugin and execute the 
etectIndent command when desired. It will just do what one would expect: adjusting Vim indentation settings to match those of the current buffer. Of course it is not perfect, because it must work by analyzing the text and it could make a bad guess, but I have experienced no problem so far 
There are a lot of rarely used resources for the Vim editor, and most people sticks with default configurations provided by packagers of GNU/Linux distributions, even when some of them do not use Vim themselves! It has been online for a while, but today I wanted to let you know that I am sharing my configuration file. In the last five years, it has evolved from a simple file with a dozen of lines to a beast of ~600 lines, which includes hacks from several sources, as well as my own stuff.
Enjoy!
I am right now trying to add support for writing files in reStructuredText format to the blogpost tool. In fact, if you can see this post nicely formatted, I would be that the thing has worked and I will be posting the patch anytime soon™…
Stay tuned

Today I hitted a known issue of the ffmpeg program (also known as “the Swiss Army knife of media editing”): the tolerance setting, which is controlled by the -bt switch must be higher than the value of the bitrate divided by the frames per second. In short:
tolerante > bitrate / fps
I wonder why the heck the setting is not automatically adjusted…
