Installing ChromiumOS

Install ChromiumOS

  1. Get Chromium OS from one of the following places
    1. Download the vanilla build (old but stable): http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/
      1. NOTE: Password is facepunch
    2. Download the nightly build (sync doesn't work): http://download-chromiumos.appspot.com/
      1. NOTE: If you want developer mode, you must change _base_ in the download URL to _test_ as the base image does not have developer tools enabled
      2. NOTE: Password is unknown, instructions for working around this are provided later
      3. NOTE: I could not get syncing working with this build, perhaps due to no API KEYS being provided???
  2. NOTE: I could not move past the welcome screen on the 64bit build due to no network being found (32bit worked)

Limit Chrome from eating all the memory and CPU

I was tired of Chrome eating all my laptop resources so I decided to put some limit to it with cgroup.

As I was using Ubuntu 12.04 with support for cgroup, I installed the package cgroup-bin and add the following group to the file /etc/cgconfig.conf:

group browsers {
    cpu {
#       Set the relative share of CPU resources equal to 25%
        cpu.shares = "256";
 }

* BEWARE:
* This file uses the Option key as a meta key. This has the side-effect

Python Selenium - Open new tab / focus tab / close tab

On a recent project, I ran into an issue with Python Selenium webdriver. There's no easy way to open a new tab, grab whatever you need and return to original window opener.

Here's a couple people who ran into the same complication:

So, after many minutes (read about an hour) of searching, I decided to do find a quick solution to this problem.

Tmux/Vim integration

Some scripts/configurations that greatly improve tmux/vim workflows. The shell scripts target zsh but should be adaptable without much effort for other unix shells.

Features:

  • Transparently move between tmux panes and vim windows
  • Using the shell, open files in one vim instance per project or directory
  • Fully integrated copy/paste between tmux, vim and x11 using simple keybinds(need to install the xclip program)
  • Easily send text to any tmux pane without breaking your edit workflow(needs slimux

'vim-tmux-move.zsh', '.vimrc' and '.tmux.conf' cooperate so you can move transparently between tmux panes and vim windows using ALT + (arrow keys or jkhl). It was based on this gist
