Vacations are over

Long time without updates. I guess I needed vacations from the blog. It was not the first time and it probably won’t be the last one I take, but I’m back now with another truckload of C++ ramblings and misc stuff. Like this one:

Vim: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!

Even though I have vim a Vim fan for a long time there still is a lot of stuff which amazes me about this little editor, and this thing I last learned about it is in the “ZOMG that’s so cool I’m about to pee my pants” category. Unfortunately, if I were to draw a Venn diagram of the people who may find it cool I’d have to intersect the group of people reading my blog (yes, very small) with the group of people who like Vim and Monty Python. So, here’s to the null group:

Type :Ni! in Vim and be amazed, it’ll reply back: Do you demand a shrubbery?

Just how cool is that?

It’s been too long since the last time this image appeared on my blog:

I bet 90% of enterprisey architecture diagrams are more or less like this one.

Vim Tip: Vigor

Oh man. Just do a search on google images for Vim + Vigor. There are so many WTF images to choose from, I just can’t decide. Apparently since Vim is the name of sexual enhancement drug or something like that, combining Vim and Vigor is a formula for fun.

Well, Vim and Vigor have a different meaning in Linux. Just do an apt-get install vigor, then run it. You’ll have lots of fun with Vim’s evil cousing, I promise.

Vim Sexual Care

Vim bestows its users all sort of magical properties, among which now we can count increased sexual performance. I bet you didn’t know, but Vim can help you keep your girl happy for days without end. Don’t believe me? Check this page.

Dealing with Office on Linux

Seen @ bash.org:

< adamkuj> are there any good open source tools for working with Access DB’s (mdb files)?

True, so true… It’s been said a thousand times, but I kinda like ranting… like it or not Office files are a majority out there. If you work with Linux, using it in a real enterprise environment, sooner or later you’ll run into someone using a propietary Office format. You’ll also run into someone who doesn’t know that you need OOO to open those weird odf files. You may need to produce an adecuately formated document sometime, and LaTeX may not be an option.

Deal with it. Install a VM, or Wine, and a copy of MS Office. Resistance is futile.
