The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his student and

It's fine for working with someone else's doc files. Sometimes you have to bend. For producing my own work, I'll take LaTeX over Office any day.

Here are just a couple things I find really useful day to day. I used to have a timeout that would revert to normal mode from insert mode after about 30 seconds if idle, but I got tired of that after about six months and just got in the hab

So whip together a Greasemonkey script and put the choice in the hands of the savvy user. Not the most elegant solution, I know, but it's clear there's a difference of opinion so taking either road would leave someone out in the cold.

For generating roads or waterways, try coming up with rules similar to the way they're created in real life. For example, water flows downhill and pools when it finds a local minimum. Roads, on the other hand, tend to avoid steep grades whe

I've had a lot of fun with AwesomeWM, and ratpoison before that. It really helps with workflow when you're not distracted by Evolution and Pidgin popups every thirty seconds. Sure, there's a bit of configuration before you get started, but

Why not try hashing on the result of some operation (xor would be bad because, well, you know) on the password and the challenge together, and not displaying the hash until the password and challenge are the same length?

This is a fantastic idea. I've got a few board games in the works, and this would be a great way to get some decent prototypes made up for cheap. No more sharpies and white hankies for me!

Yeah, nothing's wrong with gvim after you throw 'set guioptions-=bmrt' and a colorscheme line into your .vimrc. Evim--now there's a crime.

How very verbose. Isn't vim designed as a terse, efficient, no-nonsense text editor? http://vim.runpaint.org/basics/saving-a-file/ for example, gives me several screens full of jabber, broken into Problem, Solution, and Discussion, plus t

Guzdial seems to hint at applications to audio compression, but my mind turned to speech synthesis and recognition. I'd like to maximize a handful of audio clips of human voice and look for patterns.
