… after severall exchanged emails between me and Andrei Thorp about the Vim blogging ruby script, we made some changes. So instead of the initial test for Vim compiled with +ruby message s:ErrMsg, we now have an echo.
Andrei’s git (yep, they are git fans too, git rocks!) commit was calling another Vim from his machine. […]
Passphrases, when used the good way, present a higher level of security over passwords, but what if you are editing scripts on a remote server using a local Vim ? For every open, write, explore, you are asked for it. After a certain amount of times, it starts making no sense, and you’ll end up […]
… one can read this is in the official REXML::CData RDOC page:
ie_hack: Internet Explorer is the worst piece of crap to have ever been written, with the possible exception of Windows itself. Since IE is unable to parse proper XML, we have to provide a hack to generate XML that IE‘s limited abilities can handle. […]
… 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.
Blogging from VIM is now possible using this script. This post is being written using it. But one problem is making me loose a great ammount of time: dateCreated, meaning TMZ headache.
Wordpress XMLRPC wants a datetime timestamp for the dateCreated field. I give it an ISO8601 format as stated in XMLRPC specs.
The post is sent […]
… 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 […]
… when coding switter, using lot’s of command line, vim, bash, i felt the need to blog from vim. Some readings (quite a few availlable, actually) later, i was testing Wordpress xmlrpc using MovableType (Six Apart) calls to it. Vim allows ruby scripts (when compiled with that directive) use to create new commands, just like […]
…now, switter was accepted on rubyforge.org. I’ll try to put source and some docs there (rdoc does wonders) soon. Meanwhile, and with threahds now working for continuous message post/get, it just needs some tickles on the readline method.

Had a new idea for the switter (twitter shell client) client.
What if you had a switch that enabled you to secretly send commands to the shell via twitter service ? Now, that can be (is) dangerous. But what if you defined an hash with predefined actions, and “secret” (remember, unsafe connection) codes ?
./switter -u test […]
ENV is the hash that contains environment variables:
ENV.collect { |key, val| puts “#{key} ==> #{val}” }
ENV.each_pair { |key, val| puts “#{key} ==> #{val}” }
Need to know $HOME of the current user (needed for config files, say)?
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.has_key?(’HOME’)
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.key?(’HOME’)
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.include?(’HOME’)
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.member?(’HOME’)
