… i finally set up the page for the download of the vimblog.vim vim-ruby script. It will allow you to manage your blog posts from *the* editor VIM, very easilly. Learn one single command and, at maximum, seven simple parameters. So go ahead and blog with vim.
… this is Paul Graham’s version of why Microsoft is dead. There are some interesting parts in it. One thing he does not state, is that Microsoft never drove the internet trends. They get always late, and sometimes very late. Then, the huge ammount of monetary units and a very confortable monopolistic position in the […]
from O’Reilly MacDevCenter, an interesting interview with Nobi, with interesting facts:
…
“The research took about a year, and when they were done, their conclusion was that Macintosh would be the best platform, but with one condition: If Apple could keep the swap files encrypted, the bank could use the Macintosh. So the reason that Macs can […]
… well the name reminds Brad Choate’s Textmate blogging bundle Brad is an excellent developer and like me, was once a Delphi (Borland great product) developer. I based this on his Textmate work. I’m coding a Vi / ViM / GViM script for a plugin that has some nice results already, exclusively for […]

“Seymour Cray, the designer of the Cray supercomputers, says that he does not attempt to exceed engineering limits in more than two areas at a time because the risk of failure is too high (Gilb 1988). Many software projects could learn a lesson from Cray. If your project strains the limits […]

Leo Laporte is a california tech radio guy. He is podcasting for “ages” and after maintaining about 10 podcasts weekly, he got it right: aggregated them all on a station. TWiT stands for This Week in Tech. I listen to mostly 3 podcasts. FLOSS Weekly is about free open source tech, conducted by Leo and […]
