If you find yourself using Vim more than anything else on the Mac, you are probably using the MacVim binaries provided by the old (but still official) macvim.org.
The bad news is that it feels a bit buggier on Snow Leopard. The good news is that there is now a project that provides updated, shiny MacVim binaries for Snow Leopard.
Grab it while it's hot.
And because this post is all about (Mac)Vim, I suggest you take a byte (hehehe, get it?) of Vimcasts for dessert. You'll find it yummy.
This reminds me of my job.
Brilliantly described by XKCD.
Now, if you're looking for this image's original alt text, do Randall Munroe a favour and read his webcomic.
I guess the title of this post says it all. I have been in complete silence for more than an year and probably lost my few, loyal readers.
It is now 2010 and a much desired (by me at least) redesign has been in the works for the last days and it already looks like a great improvement.
Kudos to Pedro Candeias for the web design tips!
More cosmetic updates are being done, for your eyes only.
One of the things I love the most is music.
Not just music, but good, live and loud music. It's been a long time since I've been to a concert and as I recently officially moved to London, I finally got the time and patience to buy tickets for one of the most respected bands in the metal universe: Opeth.
It's amazing how 20GBP buys you a ticket to see Opeth, Cynic (and some other band) in the legendary Shepherds Bush Empire.
Comparing to 2006 December's Opeth and Amplifier gig in the tiny, claustrophobic Club Lua in Lisbon for the same price, this is clearly a great deal.
Here's the obligatory ticket shot (like last year's Wacken ticket shot):
By the way, Ticketmaster loves to deliver tickets to your door when you are taking a hot and steamy bath.
David Axmark (of MySQL fame) has just left Sun after its acquisition earlier this year.
Citing his words on why he left:
I have thought about my role at Sun and decided that I am better off in smaller organisations. I HATE all the rules that I need to follow, and I also HATE breaking them. It would be far better for me to “retire” from employment and work with MySQL and Sun on a less formal basis.
Yeah, rules on big companies are somehow hard to follow, and my early experience on a similar company seems to confirm that.
Thanks David, for the greatest and coolest database ever! Let's hope Sun can cope with the hundreds of bugs in the queue.
Permit me a little moment of history (for 2 reasons: me with 95.773241% more hair together with the two coolest geeks in the planet. yeah, Axmark included)
