I was contacted via Twitter for some support on getting vimblog.vim to work on MacVim, on Mac OSX Leopard. The unique problem is that it must be compiled with Ruby interpreter support. So here is a quick guide to do it, building from Macvim git repository:
# select a folder where to build the aplication on […]
3 or 4 new projects ahead.
One of them will be CouchDB and Merb (no DataMapper, no ActiveRecord). The db schema is modeled by each user and upon criteria decisions.
All of them Git managed, as been doing for the last year.
Served by a Debian based Linux distro, coded under Debian, UNR (my lovely little netbook), and […]
Some things are pure smartness: Gist integrated with Vim by the use of vimscript for gist by Yasuhiro Matsumoto.
For reference:
:[from],[to] Gist -p # post lines (from, to) to gist privatelly
:[from],[to] Gist # post lines (from, to) to public gist
:Gist [xxxxx] # edit […]
… 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 […]
Joey Hess proposed some months ago an interesting slight realign for the Debian release model. Basically he proposes the formation of a team to ensure a Constantly Usable Testing (CUT) allowing for some (lots of) users to have access to a well formed and current packaged version of… Testing. CUT would enforce that Testing should […]
Linus talked on Google about his source control management system, with questions from the audience. 70 precious minutes… with humour, smart ideas, good explanations on the theory of team software development, focusing on building a trust network, on performance, on centralized vs distributed systems, security, etc.
(by minute 60, this guy kicks Google Code (SVN) ass… […]
Hpricot is a very interesting lib to parse HTML. I’ll post here the example, just to check on the beauty of it from time to time…
require ‘hpricot’
require ‘open-uri’
# load the RedHanded home page
doc = Hpricot(open(”http://redhanded.hobix.com/index.html”))
# change the CSS class on links
(doc/”span.entryPermalink”).set(”class”, “newLinks”)
# remove the sidebar
(doc/”#sidebar”).remove
# print the altered HTML
puts doc
The lib is evolving, being added […]
… 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 […]
