Windows! I spend most of my time coding in PuTTy + Vim when I'm on windows. In my limited testing this works as I expect with xterm-256, tmux, and Vim on my Ubuntu 12.04 Server without having to configure anything. PuTTy is a pain to configure on a new box.

tmux didn't work as expected for me. i.e. I could attach to my tmux sessions, as well as switch between the "panes" - but I couldn't see the status bar.

I also started a new tmux instance (rather than attach to existing one) still no status bar. Any suggestions ?

Edit : Problem solved. I went into Full screen mode (F11) after clicking in addressbar (When focus was on the terminal, F11 printed ~) Anyway, when I started tmux in full screen mode, I could see tmux status bar. I continued to see it even after I left full screen.

Not sure what was the (temporary) problem.

In addition to Putty being far from native...

How do you save yourself the trouble of configuring this extension?

What sorts of configs have you had to do for Putty?

Setting unicode, changing backspace, setting xterm-256 as the TERM variable, etc ... PuTTy configuration is unintuitive when you first try to configure it. There's a well known page dedicated to configuring PuTTy properly on Windows.

I haven't tested this extensively myself, but have you looked at ExtraPuTTY?

Seems like one of its goals is to make it easier to move PuTTY configurations from one machine to another.

But why? I'm not loyal to Dropbox. Competition is good for the rest of us. I get 25GB free from SkyDrive. I hope the others follow suit.

Confusing. It says upgrade to 25GB for less than $2.50/month then it says 20GB for $5.00/year. You would think with Google's budget they would have some person read the front page and the pricing page.

I would be happy if they added high resolution/retina displays on the 13" MBP which I still prefer over the air for the simple reason I can replace the SSD and memory.

There are ~$20 drive bay kits. Search Amazon.

They have a powerhouse college football team. That will keep America relevant in the future.

Interesting, I just did a grid layout in Twitter's Bootstrap framework and thumbnails look exactly like that. Looks like Bootstrap thumbnails is a Reform Revolution clone :) Oh wait, this reminds me of Polaroids ...

Professor Trachtenberg (early 1900) comes to mind for doing speed math.

Wow, downvoted for posting info related to a professor who was held in nazi concentration camp and kept his mind lucid with math?

+1 for the Trachtenberg system. I only wish we were taught these methods at school, in addition to the 'normal' way...

Two things that transcend trends. White space + good typography. Colors are an accent.

Hmmm looks like Zune. I'll argue it's one the best pieces of software to come out of Microsoft. Too bad MS just killed.

Much of the zune visuals live on in the xbox and windows 8 as well. WhileMS had some terrible design in the past they seem to be entering a new phase where design is at the forefront.

It's not killed, it's called Windows Phone 7 now.

There was a program called Zune for Windows desktop which was like Windows Media Player but with a radical UI.

There still is. It is the default way to sync Zune HDs and WP7 devices.

Something similar will probably surface for Windows 8 Metro interface.
