http://blog.ruilopes.com/fix-magnet-link-openning-in-xfce-arch-linux.html

Fix magnet link openning in Xfce / Arch Linux. The current Xfce (4.10) that ships with Arch Linux has an annoying bug of not correctly opening Magnet. URIs (e.g. when you click a magnet link from within Chromium). So I had to have that fixed, but doing it took longer that I expected so I’m creating this recipe for helping you solving the problem more easily. Chromium handles unknown URI schemes. By delegating them to the xdg-open command. Which fails to open the magnet URIs. So let’s get to it! NB to pro...

Taking web application screenshots with CasperJS. When you need to take screenshots of a web application, the normal route is to navigate to a page, fill in the forms with sample data, use the Print screen. Key to take the screenshot, then crop and export it with a normal application like GIMP. Which is quite time consuming and god forbid if you need to do it again, with a slightly different data or page design. If you need some help installing CasperJS, see the end of this article.

From Iso To Vagrant Box. This is my recipe on how to automatically create an up-to-date Ubuntu Vagrant box file from an iso. You need the following ingredients:. I use the minimal ISO because the regular ISO does not always contains the latest package versions, so you’ll not end up having to update your system just right after you install it. This is because the mini ISO installs the latest packages right of the internet; it is also much smaller than the regular ISO. Script to describe that process.
