Anil’s Weblog

Some days ago I was thinking to post about a fact that my weblog is becoming similar to the tumblelog, but I didn’t. Today I found a great service/website called tumbler which allows us to create tumblelogs. I immediately created a/my tumblelog. If you don’t know what tumblelog is, you can hit wikipedia for tumblelog. I always liked project.ioni.st which is a fabulous tumblelog.

The site seems to be built with Ruby on Rails, as it is created by some Davidville Inc which has a product named senduit (which is built on Rails ). senduit is very good and simple to use.

One thing my weblog will now(from now) have long posts written by me instead of just links and quotes by other people, all these will now be the part my tumblelog.

Additionally, I am writing this post with/on VIM as now I have found a nice/cool/sexy firefox extension named “It’s All Text!” which allows to edit any textarea on web with VIM, when you “wq” it will be added to the text area on the desired site. Do try it!

My favorite editor VIM’s creator Bram gave presentation on VIM called “Seven habits of effective text editing 2.0” at Google, Mountain View (Bram works for Google, Zürich). I am right now downloading the video which is a part of Google Techtalks / SpeakerSeries OpenSourceDevelopers.
Few days ago, when I read this news, I was sure that Google will host the video of presentation on Google’s video. After the date of Bram’s presentation, as an excitement I searched Google Video for the presentation two-three times, but that video was not available
But today I saw that, Bram himself posted the news about the presentation video on here also on vimannounce yahoo group here.
You can watch the video here or download video in divx format here(it’s 507 Mbyte). Worth seeing/watching!

Update: You can watch the video right here

Very good YouTube video. You must see it.

When I say I have a passion for a particular piece of software, it’s not really the software I’m passionate about. It’s always about my passion for what the software lets me DO.
