Installing Android SDK & NDK on OSX

Thursday, May 26th, 2016

First, get Homebrew if you haven’t already: http://brew.sh/

Run these commands in the terminal

brew install android-sdk
brew install android-ndk

Update Android tools by running in the terminal:

android update sdk --no-ui

Homebrew installs your Android SDK and NDK into /usr/local/Cellar/ subfolders based on which versions it installed, but luckily it also creates two symlinks that always point to the newest versions of each; /usr/local/opt/android-sdk and /usr/local/opt/android-ndk.

Lastly add those to your .bash_profile:

export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk
export ANDROID_NDK=/usr/local/opt/android-ndk

Some Cygwin tips

Thursday, October 8th, 2015

I’ve included here some first things I do after every fresh Cygwin installation.

Install Cygwin with Mintty, Zch, git, openssh, wget, curl.

Set Cygwin to use windows user home directory.
Open CygwinDir/etc/nsswitch.conf and add this line to it:

db_home: windows

Make Cygwin windows drive shortcuts shorter.
Type this into the Cygwin command line:

ln -s /cygdrive/c /c

Browse to C by typing “cd /c”. Do this for every drive you want.

Make Cygwin not fuck up file permissions
Add/modify this line to [Cygwin folder]/etc/fstab

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,noacl,posix=0,user 0 0

Use Mintty as terminal and Zch as shell.
Edit your cygwin shortcut to look like this:

C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico /bin/zsh --login

Install Oh My Zsh in Cygwin
Just follow the normal instructions at this point:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Iceland Socks Outtakes

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I wanted to share with you some takes that didn’t make it into the final version of Iceland Socks. When you mix the good people of Gogogic with beverages and sock puppets you’ll end up with more outtakes than usable footage.
Enjoy
