I am, in fact, alive. Mere busyness seems like a luxury at the moment; I feel like I have achieved whatever is the next level above. However, I have found time (an overwhelmingly extravagant 5 minutes) to update my git submodule tutorial. Which is about updating git submodules. Some sort of recursive madness, it seems.
Git submodules are a way of linking to a repository inside another. For example, if your project needs to use someone else's project that's hosted on Github then you can use it as a submodule rather than including all the code from that project. This has the added benefit of being able to track and include changes from the submodule repo, rather than having to update project files yourself.
Just a quick update to say that the foobar2000 tutorial is back up again, and has a whole new set of links. Please let me know if you find any broken links or problems in general - I haven't been through it with a fine tooth comb yet.
One of the tools I use on a daily basis when browsing the Internet is the developer tools that come with webkit based browsers (i.e. Google Chrome and Safari). The "Elements" tab gives you a slick breakdown of the entire page DOM, and allows for easy manipulation.
