Via Stack Overflow.

Add, of course, git add the empty directory.

So helpful.

By default, the Mac Terminal assigns the "Clear Scrollback" command to Command-K. This is annoying, because I often use Nano, which uses Control-K to cut a line of text, and I frequently press Command-K instead of Control-K by accident. This clears my screen while I'm in the middle of editing a file. Very annoying.

The solution is to assign a new (harder to hit by accident) command to the "Clear Scrollback" command, so that when I inevitably mistype Command-K, nothing happens.

Remap Command-K

I setup xmpppy on my box, thinking I could quickly set up a bot to run as one of my Google Apps for Domains users. I've spent about six or seven hours (off and on) getting this to work, though, because the documentation from Google about setting up my DNS configuration is incomplete. Thanks a lot!!! Like DNS isn't difficult enough for amateurs.

After many searches, I finally found the magic incantation, so here it is for posterity, in case that link disappears:

_xmpp-server._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.

_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. 3600 IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk4.l.google.com.

N.B. Those trailing periods at the end of the domain names may or may not be necessary, depending on how you update your DNS records. For example, GoDaddy inserted them for me. YMMV.
