Interesting Stuff

Well, over the past 3 days or so, I have learned rather a lot about Vim, and I hate to say this (because as of last week, I used Emacs for pretty much everything), but Vim kicks Emacs’ ass! If you have Linux (or even certain forms of DOS) but you haven’t installed Vim, do that and then run vimtutor. It’s pretty great – instead of typing what you want to type, you type what you want to do. This includes moving around your document, opening a new one, saving the entire thing, saving just part of your document(!), inserting a different document into the middle of what you’re working on, search, replace, or pretty much anything else (and yes, there is a command that lets you just type things in too). It’s pretty neat.

Last night, Michael, Jeffrey, and I watched Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. A really weird movie, but quite interesting. Today, we had our traditional breakfast at the Original Pancake House, and this afternoon the three of us, Chrissy, and Amanda came to my house and played pingpong and Risk. It was pretty fun.
