Finding the perfect ancillary travel device

As would be familiar to anybody who knows me, I’m always interested in new tech, especially when it’s running free software and portable enough to be in my every-day carry arsenal. For the past month or so I’ve been looking at a few devices as a secondary to my laptop to carry with me. In a few weeks I’ll be joining those already there at third installment of Hackerbeach, on the Caribbean island of Dominica.

IRSSI Push notifications to GNOME desktop and Android device

IRSSI configuration Install these scripts into $HOME/.irssi/scripts (and symlink it in $HOME/.irssi/scripts/autorun) to have them autoloaded when IRSSI starts. screen_away.pl notifonotify.pl socketnotify.pl Android configuration Sign up for a notifo account, download the android app, and sign in with it. Make note of the username and API key, as you’ll be configuring irssi to use them. You’ll be loading the scripts in IRSSI and setting 2 notifo parameters: /script load screen_away.pl /script load socketnotify.
