Twig is a popular templating system, from the creators of the Symphony framework. Here I describe a minimal startup guide for those preferring a manual installation (i.e. no composer).
<? require_once 'lib/Twig/Autoloader.php'; Twig_Autoloader::register(); $loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('templates/'); $twig = new Twig_Environment( $loader, array( 'cache' => 'cache/') ); $twig = new Twig_Environment($loader); echo $twig->render('index.template', array('name' => 'Andrea', 'surname' => 'Telatin') ); ?>
where the index.template file is
Hello {{ name }} {{ surname }}!
To implement the simple (for the user) captcha provided by Google one have to get an API key from Google to use it. Then the mechanism is quite simple: the Captcha code is an input of the form that will submit a value. The program receiving the form data will validate the captcha with a request to Google.
I made a single page PHP example just in case.
Inkscape gives the possibility to trace a bitmap object to a vector one from the menu this page).
item, or Shift+Alt+B (seeMore interesting is the possibility to to the same from the shell, without the need of an interactive program. I loved potrace for this, available from the repository. Its input are BMP images, so imagemagik will become handy:
convert input.png input.bmp potrace -b pdf -o output.pdf input.bmp potrace -b svg -o output.svg input.bmp
I stumbled upon Grav, a CMS based on flat files that will turn mark-down text into nice websites.
What I like about it, in particular, is the fact that can be used to turn your pipelines output into an easily browseable website.
As mentioned before, you get a productivity boost when you link your mobile life with the terminal, with a program you can pipe, parse, grep…
Geeknote (www.geeknote.me) is a command line interface for your Ever Note account.
Installation is as easy as:
git clone git://github.com/VitaliyRodnenko/geeknote.git
cd geeknote
sudo python setup.py install
geeknote login
The latter will ask you to provide login credentials (press enter when asked for Two-Factor auth code, if you didn’t enable it) from the shell. While this is a good thing, unfortunately the authorization is not permanent, but “per session”.
The connection between my mobile phone and the rest of my IT life (i.e. the Linux terminal 🙂 ) will likely get a little bit harder, at least this is what if fear.
Thankfully there are awesome packages that still seems robust and insanely useful.
Gcalcli (https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli), a Python script to manage your Google Calendar via APIs is one of them.
The program is written in Python 2.7, and can be installed by:
pip install gcalcli
And in most systems you’re done (I used some Mint from 2013). When you first invoke it will launch your browser for the OAuth, so it’s handy to have one at least the first time!
purple-remote "setstatus?status=away&message=this is the status"
and change "away" to "online" if needed 🙂
At work now I use an old laptop connected to a monitor. With arandr you have a GUI for setting the dual monitors. What I wanted was to switch off the built-in display:
EXTERNAL_OUTPUT="VGA" INTERNAL_OUTPUT="LVDS" xrandr |grep $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT | grep " connected " if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --off --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto else xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --off fi
