The ultimate Vim configuration - vimrc →
Pretty nice vimrc file.  Nicely commented and seperated into logical sections.  I stole Bclose() from it as a replacement for :bdelete, and will probably take more from it in the future.

Self-Referential Aptitude Test →
Maybe this is my big chance to learn Prolog, as it was designed for just this sort of problem, I believe.

Real World Haskell →
Page 60 into Real World Haskell.  Doing all the exercises is a nice mental stretch. Gave up on the VIM/Haskell integration though.  TextMate’s is much much more usable.

How to tweak your IRB usage →
As is, Ruby’s interactive client, irb, is functional, but that’s it.  This article describes how to get completion, history, and logging enabled to make it much more pleasant to use.

Command-T - Fast file navigation for VIM →
Closest replacement of TextMate’s Cmd-T file command yet.  Written in C as a ruby module for speed.  It’s still a little buggy though.  It sometimes leaves a blank window behind.

LustyExplorer - Dynamic filesystem and buffer... →
I prefer the file matching algorithm in LustyExplorer.  It’s also still maintained, while FuzzyFinder_Textmate is not.

ExVim IDE →
Awesome looking configuration for Vim with lots of interaction between NERDTree, taglist, minibufexplorer and more. Might be difficult to integrate with existing configuration though.

make-believe.org » Vim is forever →
I need to get my VIM looking as sweet as this.  I only wish I could get NERDTree in there instead of the fileexplorer or FileTree plugins.

Hello VIM, or quitting TextMate cold turkey  →
This was so helpful with moving on from TextMate.  I immediately d/l’d and installed all these plugins.

dotfiles ahoy →
I setup a dotfiles repository on github today so I can finally be smart about how I sync my settings between computers.  It’s pretty great.  Highly recommended.  It makes me wish all apps used dotfiles though, and not ~/Library/Preferences/foo.plist or something.

changing stuff around
Since we’re switching from SVN to GIT at work, I thought I’d also switch from TextMate to Vim, Terminal.app to iTerm, and WordPress to Tumblr. So far, so good.
