Yea, sort of weird post again, nevertheless, I'll publish this.
I'm worried much about Japan.

I wish everyone will be safe there. I wish this sort of <insert_your_definition> will never ever happen to their place again, and I wish they restore quickly, to even greater state in which Japan ever was before!
I now always think about a place with a blue-blue sky and shining sun in the morning, green leaves on the trees and happy people living there and enjoying their...

I've been feeling kinda depressed (more so than usual ) over the past few days...I've just recently gotten over a cold, and I may actually still be getting over it, so that could be part of the problem, but I also think it may have to do with the fact that I haven't really done much *new* WRT computers/Linux recently. I mean, I took my old "clunker" computer (the one with no discrete GPU and about 256 MiB of RAM) and loaded FreeBSD on it (I heard about how Arch's init scripts...

How to replace letters with carriage returns on VIM

Posted 10-27-2010 at 12:35 PM by xri

Problem:
A text file coms with a list comes with the items separated by commas, like:
Quote:
a,b,c....
We need them in column form, like:
Quote:
a
b
c
Solution:
:%s/,/{[Ctrl+v], then [Enter]}/g

Notes:
  1. The % before s, indicates that the range where the replacement is to take place is the whole document.
  2. Ctrl and v are pressed simultaneously, and then the character we mean vim to use (in this case Return).
  3. The g at the end of the

(Yay, something more technically oriented for a change! )

As the title says, I think I've been spoiled by binaries and package managers...

You people are probably going to think I'm nuts, but I've been trying to get Neverball to compile in an OpenIndiana VM that I've set up. Yes, that's right, I'm trying to get a stupid game to compile on an experimental OS (it's that new "spork" of OpenSolaris. I don't know why I care, I just wondered what a UNIX-like...

While I enjoyed the well-written article, after reading it my first thought was, "Seriously, that's your take on BSD-land? You've missed the point." Not that I mean to attack. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. But rather than attempt to grab mass acceptance by removing...
