I've recently started using Fish Shell and I really like it since I spend most of my time using the shell, Fish's IntelliSense-like completion is handy.
One thing that bugged me is the lack of being able to easily separate environment variables into separate files so I added this little block inside my fish_prompt function in /etc/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish :

I haven't used Subversion in years, and while I have done a lot of WordPress plugins over the year for work, they were all private and we never shared them on the registry.
I prefer to use git. I knew it had a svn sub-command however I've never used it. I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out how to push to WordPress's Subversion from git.
I tried to follow several guides but I kept getting Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history, I spent hours googling it, eventually I came to the conclusion I have to use a different branch.
I thought I'd share this. might save someone few hours of frustration.

I recently ran into a bandwidth problem using Skype, and I found no easy way to limit it, trickled doesn't work for UDP, and after some research I came across QoS / tc shaping.

For some reason I couldn't find it anywhere, but the register for the KDE clipboard ( ctrl-c / ctrl-v) is + not *.
To paste from the KDE clipboard in insert mode : CTRL-R +, in normal mode : "+p.
To map it to ctrl-v : :imap <c-v> <c-r>+, this way you can just press ctrl-v in insert mode to paste the system clipboard.
To paste from the system selection (mouse middle button) in insert mode : CTRL-R * or in normal mode "*p .
To paste from the VIM buffer in insert mode : CTRL-R ".
To set the system clipboard as the default clipboard for vim (for yy,dd,cc,p) : :set clipboard=unnamedplus .
Also make sure to check :registers .
While I love KDE, I still prefer to use command line for almost everything.

If you have been using Chromium like me, you know it can get pretty slow on the first start up after a couple of months of usage.
It's mainly because of all the SQLite 3.x databases it uses for history and other settings.
So here's a simple script to defrag and reindex all the databases chromium uses.

As promised, here's the second part of the tutorial on how to use cmake to build Qt4/OpenSSL Apps for Windows using mingw on Linux.
1. You already followed the tutorial on how to setup Qt4/OpenSSL using mingw.
2. You have cmake installed.
3. You have a working wine setup or a way to test the executables.

For the longest time I used Mingw + cmake on top of wine to cross compile my Qt4 apps for windows, then I was bored one day, tired of how slow it is to recompile qt4 on wine and decided to try to get it to work with a native gcc instead of the overhead with wine.
So here goes.
This was done on Gentoo Linux, please don't ask me how to do it on other distros.
1. You know your way around the linux shell and have portage privileges.
2. You're not scared from compiling things by hand.
3. You already have Qt4 installed and it is the same version as the windows source we gonna build.
4. Your working path will be ~/win32.
5. You have a working wine setup.
