Software Stack

That’s a lot of software in my stack right now.

I like to pretend these sorts of things are about me.

“Whether it be the tools that you use, the projects that you work on, or the people you work with, give yourself constraints. Create something that you have always wanted. Get other people excited about it. Work cannot always be “work”.” —

I finally got my timemachine working, so the first thing I do is… … head back to southern California in the early 80s for the casting call to The Karate Kid. I got offered the part and promptly turned it down. I know all too well how much Ralph Macchio loved being on the cover of Tiger Beat.

Versailles

Woke from one of those strange crepuscular dreams: I was working at my hs job and was video chatting with @coreylove via skitch explaining why Versailles is pronounced Ver-say’-uhlz

Brain scans show children with ADHD have faulty off-switch for mind-wandering -

Brain scans of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have shown for the first time why people affected by the condition sometimes have such difficulty in concentrating. The study, funded by the Wellcome Trust, may explain why parents often say that their child can maintain concentration when they are doing something that interests them, but struggles with boring tasks.

How to get Mac Vim clipboard copy and paste (Snow Leopard) in the terminal

I’ve been spending more time lately in iterm2 exclusively. The recent split-screen feature is great for me. Running vim in the terminal, I finally accepted this morning how annoying it was that the system clipboard wasn’t integrated.

A quick google and recompile with xterm_clipboard support did the trick.

Here’s the configure command:

 ./configure --with-features=huge \
                    --enable-cscope \
                    --enable-pythoninterp \
                    --enable-rubyinterp \ 
                    --enable-perlinterp \
                    --enable-gui=macvim \
                    --with-mac-arch=intel \
                    --enable-multibyte \
                    --enable-clipboard=yes \
                    --enable-xterm_clipboard=yes


If you are like me you prefer a single line for copy and pasting so here’s the same command in a margin defying format:

 ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-cscope --enable-pythoninterp --enable-rubyinterp --enable-perlinterp --enable-gui=macvim --with-mac-arch=intel --enable-multibyte --enable-clipboard=yes --enable-xterm_clipboard=yes

Someone needs to use this.

jessnevins:

In a game or in fiction, somewhere:

In the much later Tibetan tradition, a special class of lamas (gter-ston, “treasure finders”) went about “discovering” scriptural treasures (gter-ma) that had allegedly been hidden away long before, during the Buddha’s lifetime, to await the foreordained moment of their revelation.

I can’t be the only one who sees the potential in the gter-ston, can I?
