I’ve been reading about Vim and Emacs, how they differ, and which is best. As far as I can make out the major difference is that Emacs uses Control-key-combinations (Ctrl+F, Esc+W etc.) to activate functions, while Vim uses modes and single key sequences, that is, you don’t generally have to hold one key and then press another – except when entering the colon symbol, which itself is used to change modes…

I think I’ll give them both a try and see which one I get on with the best – although I read that’s probably going to be Emacs because Ctrl+[some-key] combinations are the norm, while changing modes takes more getting used to, but is eventually faster (eventually, when you finally wrap your head around it and think in Russian!). We’ll see =D

Just got this wonderful press release from Tourism Research Australia regarding CAUTHE, the Council for Australasian University Tourism and Hospitality Education:

You had me at lorem ipsum… =P

Well played

No Windows 2000 in that lot though, so it’s a little bit forced – although 2000 was aimed at business and not consumers, so I guess you can at least partially explain it away…

Hehehe… Happy with my Android, thanks!

Funny & awesome tribute to mans first steps on the moon back in July 1969… Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket! =P
