Sometimes the world seems against you. The journey may leave a scar but scars can heal and reveal just where you are.

BCAA

It was my first time to buy a BCAA - a powdered supplement uspposed to stimulate protein sythesis. I'm supposed to take 10g of this 15 minutes before my workout so I was expecting it to have a teaspoon to measure (1 teaspoon is 5grams). Upon opening the container, I didn't see any spoon. Hmm, "It might have been burried under the powder", I thought. So I stuck my finger and let my finger roam around the container trying to feel where that spoon is hiding. But I didn't find it. When I pulled my finger out my finger was covered in powder. I didn't want to waste that. I sucked on my finger and to my dismay, it tasted horrible! It was very bitter. Ugh.

Xmonad Layout for GIMP

I have been recently googling the perfect xmonad layout for GIMP. Unfortunately, most of the sites linked to this site (nathanhowell.net) which appears to have a misconfigured server. So I'll put the config here:

(Update: ok, so I posted this quickly without having used it a lot. I don’t use the Gimp much anyway, so this mostly meets my needs, but it does have issues. If I get motivated to look into them, I’ll update with a fix if I can.) I just came up with an xmonad layout for gimp that I like quite a bit, so I have to share it… it uses the IM layout (twice) combined with the Full layout to get tools on each side of the screen, with images taking up the whole space between them. Here’s the code (updated to include requirements, etc):

import XMonad.Layout.IM import XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace import XMonad.Layout.Reflect main = do xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = onWorkspace "gimp" gimp } where gimp = withIM (0.11) (Role "gimp-toolbox") $ reflectHoriz $ withIM (0.15) (Role "gimp-dock") Full

Use pwgen to Generate Passwords like from Lastpass

I very much like generating passwords through Lastpass's extension:

I get to choose the length of the password, which characters to use, and make it pronounceable. Frankly, I only used the last one for generating random usernames. But I'd like to be able to do this in a keystroke.

So I need to assign a command to a certain keystroke in my display manager instead of using a browser extension. After a bit of searching, I Found apg and pwgen but pwgen appears to be exactly what I need.

Generate a secure password of 15 characters

$ pwgen -1sy 20 ao\&qwuC]hlq6.1'7+Q@

Generate an alphanumeric password of 10 characters

$ pwgen -1n 15 buj9Uph8ob

Generate a pronounceable 6-character password

$ pwgen -10A 6 suibi

Sounds cute! Now, I just have to assign a keybinding from those commands. In my case, xmonad:

((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_o), spawn "pwgen -1sy 20 | tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clipboard") -- and so on

If I press win+shift+o I immediately get a password. Perfect!

See, pwgen(1) manpage
