Bonus geek points there +

vi (vim actually) when possible. Emacs keys in IDEs and elsewhere.

Pie · 01-14-2009, 03:15 PM

Yeah, I'm vi/vim too.
There's a disturbing lack of posix-compliant environments in my new place of work. I can feel myself getting dumber by the minute as I sit in front of my xp box. The Cellar is also too close at hand, I get nothing done!

cygwin?

I actually prefer the mingw tools and tcsh, since they try to handle normal win32 drives and paths, but cygwin has a wider range of stuff.

And vim is available for native win32.

You also might like Console - like rxvt but better (tabbed sessions).

After a ns of working with wysiwyg, I found the scsi ui to be afu.

After my last post, I went and installed Cygwin.

I will check out Console. Thanks for the tip!

scsi is passé. I've got a whole box of scsi cables (once worth hundreds of dollars). Now they're pretty useless.

glatt · 01-14-2009, 04:31 PM

And they are fat enough that one or two will fill a whole box.

<geek>dar (or anyone else), are you running Ubuntu anywhere? I'm eager to upgrade to Jaunty Jackalope -- seems like a major speed increase with ext4. </geek>

DanaC · 01-14-2009, 04:51 PM

*blinks* I have no idea what you are talking about. I recognise IDE and scsi....that's it.

I'm a BSD kinda guy myself. But I think RichLevy runs Ubuntu, IIRC.

Linux is for people who hate Microsoft. BSD is for people who like Unix.
