So you boot your macbook pro, and you get… well not much. A black screen staring back at you while you frantically reach for your phone to check possible solutions to this problem. PRAM Reset Look no further. The thing just happened to me and I managed to get through it by resetting the machine’s PRAM, which is - apparently - a common troubleshooting technique when your favorite apple goes to f***.

Repositioning and resizing windows isn’t probably the most entertaining subject out there, but as we do those two all day long, let’s talk about it once and for all. I remember having blogged about this subject on another blog about 3 years ago, and today, I’m finding myself talking about this very same subject to various mac users (since it’s a native feature on windows), having failed to deal with the issue.

‘Have you documented your own Sublime Text shortcut cheatsheet?’ is a question I never get asked. But despite all your efforts to avoid the subject, here it is. In your face! This post is likely to get updated on a regular basis since I tend to learn new stuff every day. See, when you start low, you’re bound to progress more often than never :) So we’ve already spoken about ST3’s clipboard history capability.

What do you do when your Google Authenticator produces the wrong codes, and there’s nothing much you can do about it? I’m a huge fan of the two-factor authentification, the now famous user identification system by means of the combination of two different components. It usually involves a password and some kind of time-based token available via an app on a mobile phone. 2-step verification is officially the best thing since sliced bread

An ancient blogpost of mine, and this clever responsive video code snippet presented (at the time) by Ethan Marcotte, at btconf 2014 during his Laziness In The Time Of Responsive Design talk. A quick way to make videos look good at any size, the height/width ratio of the media now respected. Enough chit chat. .video-container { position: relative; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%; } .video-container > * { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; } There’s a codepen for it.

A quick blog post on how to make Google Charts play nicely in responsive mode. Nothing close to rocket science but still useful. For those who don’t know, Google Charts is a visualization tool, a gallery of interactive charts and data tools that you can integrate into your website. You provide data through php, json and Google Charts display it nicely for you. Issue By default, the charts come in the form of fixed width element which you can easily tweak to adapt to the now-famous ‘width:100%’ format.

A bit of reading for all jekyll newbies who, like me, decided to host their Jekyll site on Github pages (or are in the process to do so), and wouldn’t be aware of the limitations around the subject. I’ve been running this site on Jekyll for a few weeks only, and making discoveries along the way. When I decided to install and use the first of many plugins available, I hit the wall and quickly realised the topic was far from an easy affair.

I’ve recently moved to Sublime Text 3, having enjoyed several years of cruising on version 2. The latest version is now more than mature (hence my move) and has additional features ST2 was short of. The ability to browse through your clipboard history is defo one of them. ⌘ + K then ⌘ + V It’s as simple as that, just go ⌘ + K before hitting your usual ⌘ + V and you’ll be able to pick from your latest clipboard entries.

Adding comments via Disqus to your Jekyll blog is something you probably want to do if you want a bit of life and interaction. Good news: it couldn’t be easier. There are installation instructions on the Disqus documentation, and on various places around the web, but I thought I would recap the lot for y’all. “Great discussions are happening here”… so Disqus says. Unless nothing much will in fact happen, and you’re fine with this.

So you got yourself a nice static site, and you want to give your audience a chance to talk to you (directly) with a simple contact form, something you might be used to having used wordpress, php, and a database. Except there ain’t no database here. Even less php back end. Hence you’ve got to rely on other ways to get personal messages sent to you. Formspree - Functional HTML forms When I stumbled upon Formspree, it did look like the perfect match.
