Using your Kindle as an e-ink monitor

step 1: jailbreak your Kindle

mobileread.com is your best resource here, follow the instructions from the LanguageBreak thread

I didn't really follow the LanguageBreak instructions because I didn't care about most of the features + I was curious to do it myself, but the LanguageBreak github repo was invaluable for debugging

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
arch=$(uname -m)
os=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
double="$arch-$os"
if [[ $1 == *"dev"* ]]; then

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

What's an Effective Engineer?

Oh my zsh.

Install with curl

Setup OS X 10.7 w/ homebrew, oh-my-zsh, rvm, nvm

Setup new Mac with OSX Lion from scratch

These commands are good as of 2011-07-27.

Install Xcode 4

The download/install takes a while so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.
