   I've been using vim for about ten years now. A few of my favorite things about the editor: it features the best application navigation that I've ever been exposed to (I also use vi-like navigation in readline, Firefox and mutt); it can open

   a little on topic: i'm generating a simple feed for "newest" here: http://mimir.pipsq.com/feed.xml (updates once every 30 minutes, i hope that is ok by ycombinator).

   i've written a plugin as well. it's extremely simple: it uses find (or globpath() if you do not like external dependencies) to build a local cache. matching isn't approximate but you get results on partial matches and can browse files in di

   I'm not particularly fond of the GTK-themes. It's always hard to accept new and all, but they lack that unique touch of the earlier interface. The web site mockups feel like a mix of apple.com and a cheap hosting solution. Now, I get that t

    I was thinking along the same lines (but in a more vim-like sense, naturally). There are a lot of cool projects out there, but not many that affect me to such an extent. Of course it's not the most influential piece of software of the decad

    I had the exact same desire about a year ago; I was bored with web development and wanted to learn a new discipline (I never went through with my plans though, so I have no real advice for you). My planned route was to get a formal educatio

    I've been using everything from Things and The Hitlist to Remember the Milk and Ta-da list; used GMail to keep track of tasks; written two task list applications for the console; created three web-based (three different approaches) systems.

    I too work at a command-line all day. mutt plays nicely with the terminal. You can even tweak it to your heart's desire :)

    You are absolutely right. Sorry about the false alarm. Seems like it doesn't work in latest WebKit?

    It is indeed possible. But that is a very unpleasant experience :)

    Yes, I'd totally do that (at-least use my Linux partition) if a) the experience of running Linux on a MacBook was a little smoother (I've just bought a new one and I kind of like Apples hardware) and b) I wasn't dependent on PhotoShop et al

    Xmonad is awesome. I run it (with urxvtd) inside X11.app as a terminal/iterm + tmux/screen replacement.

    That's exactly how i feel about EverQuest. I have yet to find a game that I like even half as much. The unrealistic graphics really lets your imagination fill in the gaps. This becomes increasingly hard with more realistic physics/models/

    I try to make reusable applications of most everything I "know" that I'll be using more than once or twice. Permalinks and named URLs are pretty handy when you do not use the same URLs across different projects. (EDIT: Added "Permalinks and

    I concur with the notion of the mice being among the worst I've used, but I love their aluminum keyboards.

    I sit in front of my 24" monitor when working in the Flash IDE, Illustrator or PhotoShop; otherwise I prefer working directly on my laptop. I generally just keep an instance of MacVim, a terminal and a browser open; I find myself staying mo

    It might not be a switch -- sometimes you just want to try an alternative setup without having any particular problems with your current one.
