Send private tweet to Anyone

Have you ever need to send a private tweet to some one that is not following you and you do not have any other way to contact them?

There is a really easy way to achieve it: Twitgram. With Twitgram you can send private messages, of any length, to anyone and only the recipient(s) will be able to read them.

Make Chrome work a bit more for you (JIRA)

At the office we use JIRA to manage all the Tickets and Tasks we are supposed to do, and sometimes it might be a little more complicated than expected. For some reason I woke up early today and decided to search for JIRA extensions on Chrome Store and found 2 really nice:

JIRA Notifier

This one is a small popup on your toolbar that opens your selected saved filter and also includes a small number with how many tickets are in that list. It also (as the name says) allows you to get desktop notifications with updates on such tickets.

 

Goto Bug

This one is a much simpler but I will love it. How many times someone asks you about a ticket and only gives you the number? Then you need to open JIRA, search for one of your tickets and change the URL with the ID or search the ID using the search options. No more! Just select your favorite(s) project(s) and you will only need a number to get into each and every ticket!

 

I do not know why I didn’t search for these before 8) .

I do not take responsibility for any damage done to your system just because you do not know how to follow instructions.

Let’s begin.

Notepad++ JS Beautifier

Working on a team with several editors and configurations usually tends to create a mess on the code formatting. I was trying for a couple of days the Sublime Text editor and I kinda liked it, one plugin I really liked it is the JSBeautifier that, as its name says, formats the current file (or selection) as the jsbeautifier.org site.

Sublime Text is cool, but I am a still short of money and do not concider to by it in the near future) also I am still a big fan of Notepad++ but I didn’t find a good javascript formatter, suddenly I already got my Sublime Text 2 licence and it is wort every peny 8) if you can afford it, it is a must have, if not, give it a try and you won’t regret; anyway, when I was doing this I realized that:

So, I headed to JSBeautifier github to download the python module, downloaded the Ptyhon Script Plugin for Notepad++, spent around an hour reading and testing and I ended “porting” the script into my Notepad++ :-D
