			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am now a <a href="http://zsh.sourceforge.net/">zsh</a> man.  The key to a happy zsh experience is a good ~/.zshrc file.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/zsh.xml">Gentoo&#8217;s docs</a>, I have a good start:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>#!/bin/zsh<br />
# completion<br />
autoload -U compinit<br />
compinit<br />
# prompt<br />
autoload -U promptinit<br />
promptinit<br />
prompt adam1<br />
# options<br />
setopt correctall<br />
setopt autocd<br />
setopt extendedglob<br />
# history<br />
export HISTSIZE=2000<br />
export HISTFILE="$HOME/.history"<br />
export SAVEHIST=$HISTSIZE<br />
setopt hist_ignore_all_dups<br />
# zstyle<br />
zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format '%U%B%d%b%u'<br />
zstyle ':completion:*:warnings' format '%BNo matches for: %d%b'<br />
# color<br />
[ -f /etc/DIR_COLORS ] &amp;&amp; eval $(dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS)<br />
alias ls="ls --color=auto -h"<br />
alias grep="grep --color=auto"</code></p></blockquote>
<p>There are many more zsh options to play with.  For example, you can use <code>prompt -l</code> to see the list of available prompt templates if adam1 does not suit you.  Customized designs are doable as well.</p>
<p>You can also set the OS X Terminal.app to use zsh (/bin/zsh), but the color section of the file needs to be a bit different:</p>
<blockquote><p><code># color<br />
alias ls="ls -Gh"<br />
alias grep="grep --color=auto"</code></p></blockquote>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have released a new version of <a href="http://ndansmith.net/surl">surl</a> (&#8221;surl unlengthens resource locators&#8221;), a command-line interface to <a href="http://metamark.net/">metamark.net</a> (a URL-shortening service).  You can <a href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=188892">download the 1.0 release at Sourceforge</a>.  It requires Python 2.4 or newer.  This version implements command-line options and fixes STDIN usage.  I am going to see about getting it into the Gentoo tree, or at the very least getting it bumped in the Sunrise overlay.</p>
<p>After unpacking the archive, you can install it by running the following command:</p>
<blockquote><p># python setup.py install</p></blockquote>
<p>Surl is comprised of one script, so you can skip the installer if you like and just add it to your path.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Make that 1.1.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first read the tag line to Paul Metzger&#8217;s <em>Consuming Jesus</em>, I was confused:</p>
<blockquote><p>Beyond Race and Class Divisions In a Consumer Church</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;What does consumerism have to do with race and class divisions?&#8221;  After reading the book, the link is now indissoluable in my mind.  It is a good read, especially if you want to hear about the prospect of James Dobson and Stanley Hauerwas sharing a meal.</p>
