Make Your Address Bar Act Default to "I'm Feeling Lucky"

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/8FS4pYxfxj0

Above is the link Garry Egan posted a few years ago. Basically, it introduces how to set “I’m feeling lucky” as a default search engine, and it seems like pretty handy if you are using Google only to search a document in a huge project’s Doxygen (which by default does not include the search feature for the documents within itself). I frequently search for LLVM class references and 99 out of 100 locates at the first result of the search. It’s pretty cumbersome that every time I should type and click the result. I don’t know how much it’ll reduce my inconvenience, but let me see for a while.

Linux Directory-jumping Hack

For developers, it’s kind of common to jump between directories whilie implementing multiple source codes at a time. This is why many developers (on the Linux system) uses terminal multiplexers like tmux or screen to enumerate multiple environments at a time, but the problem still lingers when it comes to the directories that are not always but frequently visited. Isn’t it too much to make separate windows just to leave those three or four not-always-but-frequently-visited directories opened?

Today I managed to come up with my own solution. I made a goto command for my Bash shell. (Put these lines at the end of your bash configure file, for example, .bash_profile or .bashrc)

function goto() { eval X=\${$1}; cd $X; }

export mfd=“~/my/favorite/directory”

This command simply changes the current directory to the directory, that is pre-defined with a nickname. For example, I can jump to “~/my/favorite/directory” from anywhere, simply by typing the command below:

goto mfd

Now I’m using it to jump between the root directory of my source tree and the build directory. Both directories are not always used, but frequently visited during the building and debugging stage. I think there must be some more decent utilities for this kind of problems, but this is enough for me. Plus, it’s free from any additional installation!

The deadline has finished, and a slight depression strikes me again. I'll call it a 'post-deadline syndrome'.

Well this is a whole different story, but once I abandoned a fine bike (a used one when I bought) without chained to anywhere, just because it became no use to my changed commute pathway. Every time I passed by the bike, I literally observed whether or not my bike was taken by someone else, but kind of weird that no one took that until I graduated the university. Now it is just left behind and I don't know whether someone took that or not. I think I should be a little bit more diligent so that I can sell or even give it for free at a flea market. :)

It's the deadline season. Actually the season has been started like about a month ago, but I just joined a team targeting right this conference. I'm getting a good training from my senior and doing my best as far as I can. Hope it goes well this time. :)
