making difficult decisions
As I said in my previous post, I “re-discovered” my original blog.
What is wrong with the US in the eyes of Don Kiely
Pisser…Don Kiely turns out to be a left-wing nut.
I’m sorry to say this, but President Bush did NOT steal the election; he won…yep, by 537 votes.
Halo 2
Dan Fernandez blogged about the release of Halo2 on Monday.
Halo is my favorite game of all time (although there are some close runner-ups).
New version of ViM
One of the new features:
- MS-Windows: Vim can run inside an MDI window of another application.
Mmmm….I can think of a bunch of cool ideas using this…
Database Design and PKs
Mike Pope links to a great blog by Nick Hodges.
I had an interesting experience regarding #1 on Nick’s list.
Utilities I can’t live without
I’ve seen blogs like this in the past, so I figured I’d throw together my list:
4NT – a great replacement for cmd.exe
ActiveState Perl
ViM – a great text editor
HyperSnap-DX – a great screen capture program
DocClear – my own program for managing the entries in the ‘Documents’ menu
WinZip
SharpReader
Gravity
Trillian
Lavasoft Ad-aware
I spend a large portion of my day at the command-line (4NT), using ViM.
