Debian shall soon have a Conkeror package, thanks to Axel Beckert who takes a minute to break down the current keymap. Naturally, you have to poke fun at vi users here. But wait! I am a vi user!

What can I say, except maybe

1. Emacs (the rudiments, anyway) is like riding a bicycle
2. When I say vi, i mean vile, not vim. vim gives me hives. vile is teh awesome.

I am working on a set of vile-ish bindings, and I can't say I feel any pressing need to stick hjkl in. You could start from there, but that's missing the point, I think.

(You know what's also awesome? My email is still down, so I won't even have to delete flames from people who take their choice of editor/browser Very Seriously until sometime tomorrow.)

So, I haven't blogged in almost a year. I am a horrible, horrible, horrible person. But at least I've been on LowThresholdNmu. Barely.

Since I still read a blog or two so that I can pretend to be informed: I really like this post. I would make a comment about the bumper sticker on the Prius normally parked around my part of ye olde Prospect Hill, but then people might think I was actually talking about politics or oil or cars or gentrification or something like that. It's a violent world out here on the interweb. One can only be oblique.

When did I get so old? Did I fit in at some point? I really don't know.

I find it difficult to listen to anyone’s opinion on what is hard to read on a screen on a page with no margins.

dpatch-edit-patch: doesn't work.

quilt refresh: works.

Mikey likes it!

Am I the only one who still uses xtoolwait? Or understands why?

On days like these I think maybe I should spend a little more quality time with FreeBSD.

My God. Again.

I want to round up all the mouth-breathers on MusicBrainz with an “it’s written that way on the box” fetish and kick them off the interweb.

I should just stop moderating, or pretending that the opportunity to create and utilize a global, comprehensive, coherent metadata schema means that anyone will actually care to use it. (Hi Joe.)

OMG PEOPLE

SHUT UP

I just wrote, in a mail to mb-users, “that would have been the correct place for the OP to not post this.” I think I need to start using this phrase more often. Particularly when someone acts surprised that the world is not their personal help forum, but in fact contains other people who might want to address, well, each other.

We’re still losing the culture wars.

What happened to being a nice loser? I’m not sure. I think it’s because someone mailed me (rather persistently) asking for a non-free font. Hint: this is a faux pas.
