    When using SSH at FS Data, pressing backspace in Vim were coming out as ^? so editing files was a hassle. (I am on a Linux workstation btw.) I found a solution in the Vim documentation, via a Stack Overflow post. I just opened ~/.vimrc and added the following: :if &term == “xterm-256color” :  set…

    I am building a very minimalistic calendar plugin for WP (an idea that doesn’t seem to turn out very well so far), and I got a cryptic JS error when adding JQuery datepicker saying “a is undefined”.

    I am used to using PhpStorm on a Mac, but now I am with Ubuntu on a ThinkPad so the keymapping is all off. I want to use the Mac OS X keymap, but contrary to my expectation, pressing the Windows key does not produce the Meta symbol so I cannot access half the shortcuts.…

    Min pappa är galen i att syra grönsaker, och jag har länge velat prova själv. Jag ringde och frågade om ett recept på kimchi, och fick ungefär följande instruktioner. Notera att framförhållning och en lufttät burk är viktiga beståndsdelar. (För intressanta utläggningar om kimchi och annan fermenterad mat hänvisar jag till valfri Wikipediaartikel, livsmedelsguru eller…
