A tmux cheat sheet

I just started using tmux last week, and created a cheat sheet to help me remember the basic tmux commands, and I thought I'd share that here.

The cheat sheet has a few things that are specific to my configuration file, so to begin with, here is my ~/.tmux.conf file:

Scala SBT documentation in PDF format

I did some manual labor this weekend, and converted the Scala SBT tool documentation into PDF format (a PDF file). I also tried to contact the SBT author, Mark Harrah, to see if he wanted the PDF on the Github website, but I couldn't find any way to email him through Github, so ...

If you want a copy of the Scala SBT documentation in PDF format, current as of June 3, 2012, here it is:

A Scala cheat sheet in PDF format

I've been working with Scala quite a bit lately, and in an effort to get it all to stick in my brain, I've created a Scala cheat sheet in PDF format, which you can download below.

This PDF is very different from my earlier Scala cheat sheet in HTML format, as I tried to create something that works much better in a print format. (I first tried to get it all in one page, but short of using a one-point font, that wasn't going to happen.)

Mac - Convert BMP image to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, or PDF

Mac BMP image FAQ: How can I convert a BMP image to a JPEG (JPG) format on a Mac? (Or to a PNG, TIFF, GIF, or PDF format.)

If you have just one BMP image you want to convert, you can do this with the Mac OS X Preview application. Just follow these steps:

An iTunes album list - How to create (Version 1)

iTunes album list FAQ: How can I create a list of iTunes album names (a unique list of all iTunes album names)?

When I listen to iTunes, I often like to listen to a complete album at one time, rather than a mix of songs from different albums. I especially like to do this when I'm working, because the music and volume level is consistent. It's always surprised me that Apple doesn't provide a simple iTunes album list view, where you can see all your albums, then click a button to listen to one album or another.

iPad Pages sharing tip - How to share/export iPad Pages' documents

iPad Pages document sharing FAQ: How do I share iPad Pages documents?

After working with a friend's iPad lately -- specifically the iPad Pages application -- I asked him how you go about sharing iPad Pages documents. We did a little research, and found at least three ways to share/export an iPad Pages document.

iPad PDF documents - reading, transferring, and saving

iPad PDF FAQ: How do I transfer a PDF file onto my iPad, iPhone, or iPod? (Or, "How can I read a PDF on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod?)

Since the iPod, iPhone, and iPad all use the Apple iOS operating system, the process of getting a PDF file onto these devices is identical (or nearly identical) for each device. In this article I'll generally refer to the iPad, as it's actually hard to read most PDF documents on an iPhone of iPod.)

Converting Java on Mac OS X tutorials to PDFs

Earlier this year I created a couple of tutorials about using Java on Apple's Mac OS X platform. Specifically, they're both about developing Swing GUI applications.

Today's news is that I'm working to convert these Java on Mac OS X tutorials into PDFs. Hopefully I'll have them available by the end of the year.

Here are links to the current HTML versions of these Java/Swing/Mac tutorials:

LaTeX example - enumerate and itemize line spacing

LaTeX line spacing FAQ: How can I control the line spacing in itemize and enumerate tags?

What I did was to create my own LaTeX command, and then use that command instead of the traditional enumerate tag. (This works just as well for the itemize tag.)

The LaTeX example below shows how to create your own command named packed_enum. After you define this command, just use it instead of enumerate or itemize, and your line spacing will essentially be reduced to single line spacing.

LaTeX example document - description lists and tables

Here's a sample LaTeX document where I'm experimenting with newenvironment, a definition list, and tables (the tabular environment. I don't have the output with me at the moment, but I think all of these worked correctly when using pdflatex (LaTeX PDF) and latex2html (LaTeX HTML).
