Sample Configuration Files
A lot of colleagues, *nix users and hacker friends of mine see some of my
configurations (usually in a geek bunker pic here and there and/or sundry screenshots I have posted) this section
has copies of those few I think are worth sharing for site readers and
fellow geeks.
- xterm_titles
- This file feeds a routine in my
bash_profile which changes the title of an Xterm (and only
and Xterm to the best of my knowledge) after a carriage return; by itself
this file does nothing.
- dir_colors
-
GNU coloring is, simply put, cool. My
dir_colors file has
my (as of this version) current settings plus all of the codes listed
so anyone can customize their own colors. Note your
bashrc or bash_profile need to be setup
to eval this file correctly.
- bashrc
- Many Linux users are well aware of this file's purpose, my bashrc
contains a wicked cool method to change prompt colors, it calls
xterm_titles to fill in Xterm title names and sources
my dir_colors file to colorize files by type. In addition
I have hooks to print the size and special meaning characters.
- herrie
-
Herrie is a command line curses based music player. It works rather well
and is excellent for those not looking for an alternative to the sometimes
heavy handed (that is code) graphical music players out in the open source
world.
- Xdefaults
- Admittedly my Xdefaults file is tame relative to most hackers, my only
answer to that is the window manager I like to use
answers my minimalist needs. In any case take note of the file as one can
use predefined X colors or define colors using the
#RRGGBB
format.
- vim.tgz
- This is a vim color pack I downloaded from vim.org (there are more I am sure) which is quite
extensive - note some of them do not work in the console at all
and are designed for
gvim use only.
- vimrc
- A definite snap in time; my
vimrc calls out my personal
vim theme; but there are a few neat settings in it.
- cmtarix.vim
- Since the matrix name was taken (for a rather cool gvim theme I might
add) I named my theme after the console matrix generator program
cmatrix.
