..bits & bytes teleported

Saturday Nov 08, 2008

Due to necessity, off-late I have had to increasingly use Vi in text mode over a SSH connection on a Unix box. I have already picked up some Vi skills, ones I didn't know before, or to be put in a better way- never bothered to. I am using Regular Expressions more than I ever did.

Today morning, I just read the chapter on: The Basic Tools, from The Pragmatic Programmer and in the section on 'Power Editing', the authors talk about your personal toolkit's editor of choice.

Just reading this Slashdot article http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/06/206213&tid=185

All falling in place. The Universe is conspiring (for the better) to hone my text mode Unix skills. Amen.
