title: Tab Madness
---

I saw yesterday's post on <a href="http://www.slashdot.org/">Slashdot</a>
about <a href="http://www.zsh.org/">Zsh</a>, and I decided to give it
a try.  I really liked the tab completion and a few other features,
but Zsh was just too different than Bash for me to make a permanent
switch.  So I decided to upgrade to Bash 2.04 and mess with it's
programmable completion instead.  I started with a few from the samples
included with Bash and added a bunch for things like tar, ssh, and
cvs.  Several people on #e asked for my completions, so I decided to
clean them up a bit, add an installer script, and put them online.
The result is <a href="/projects/bash_tweaks/">Bash Tweaks</a>.  Enjoy.
<br /><br />

I've been learning more about
<a href="http://www.xmlsoft.org/">XML</a>, and I decided to work on
making this page a bit more transitional friendly.  I've converted
the sidebar and all the server-side includes, which means most of
the layout for the page should be okay, but I haven't started on
all the content yet.  I decided to preserve rendering in older
browsers (mainly Netscape 4).  The two tags that it seems to get
pissed off about are <code>&lt;br/&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;div align="center"&gt</code>, so I'm going to stick with the
more compatible, but less compliant <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;center&gt</code> (at least until everyone can affort to run a
modern browser).

Finally, if you've got a GeForce 2 MX TwinView (and possibly even
a GeForce 2 MX), and you want to try the NVidia 0.9-7 drivers, be
sure you grab the 0.9-769 drivers, _not_ the 0.9-767 drivers.  I
consistently got hard locks in Quake 3 with the 0.9-767 drivers, but
the 0.9-769 drivers appear to be working okay.  Okay, that's it for
today.
