vi – I just gotta love it even though I hate it

Work/Geek

Every now and then I get stuck with a Linux or Unix environment with no GUI available. Whatever the intention is, it does not take more than 2 minutes before I have to at least edit a single line in a file, leaving me with the only option to use vi. Like for instance now. Been using vi quite a lot the last week, learning geek-commands such as ZZ, y, p, i, I and A. Off course I knew :q! in advance. Just gotta love the tool I love to hate when using such commands, leave work for a week and try to remember them…impossible, you then need the Cheat Sheet.

Marius, a colleague of mine from Workplace, told me once about this service, which I’ve now tested when configuring my new laptop. Just go to the website, check off the apps you want, download your customized installer and you’re on http://ninite.com/

How to kill your Facebook account

Anything but the other

Spent some time on Linkedin this evening, ending up reading Stephan Seliger’s blog http://aixpi.com (Stephan is one of my connections on Linkedin). In one of his earlier posts this year he writes that he has deleted his account on Facebook. I immediately became interested since I was only aware of that you could deactivate it. Read Stephans post about him deleting his account, where he has also provided a link to the description on how to actually do it http://aixpi.com/archives/2008/06/03/i-finally-killed-my-facebook-account/

We have bought a video camera

Anything but the other

On Thursday I ordered a new video camera from the online store Netonnet http://www.netonnet.no/ Saved about 600,- NOK compared to http://www.fotovideo.no. We received the camera yesterday so no reason what so ever for us not to recommend Netonnet.

Did some testing yesterday, and I was able to edit recordings from the camera on my laptop computer. This being the reason for not buying a HD-camera. If we had bought a HD-camera we would have needed to buy a new bleeding edge computer to be able to edit the recordings.

The camera being a Canon FS11

That’s five minutes of…

Anything but the other

That’s five minutes of my life I will never get back…I spent some time watching a few of those videos at http://podcast.no/ The reason for it is as simple as me having taken my Ipod out of the drawer again. I found the Pyro podcast at NRK http://www.nrk.no/podkast/, then I Google’d “Podcast” and ended up at podcast.no

Seeing Tone Damli Aaberge drinking coffee…jezz, I’ve got better things to do.

Should I claim royalties?

Anything but the other

This picture is a screenshot from when I was watching a Dutch tractor video. The video is just a collage of various pictures. I was just about to click on another video when I noticed something I thought I had seen before…and yes…that was true, the picture was taken by no other than me!

I did post the picture earlier in this post

And another thing, from a msn conversation I had with Atle right afterwards

Atle sier:
Ja, verden er liten. For en måneds tid siden satt vi en kompisgjeng. Han ene er ikke IT-mann på noen måte, men jeg hører plutselig setningen: “Det er sprøtt, det er èn mann i Norge som kan postens portokalkulator, han heter Kent Ståle og bor i Tromsø!”
Rune Hellem sier:
du kødder
Rune Hellem sier:
ha-ha

Kent Ståle being my friend Kent, who me and Atle met when doing our IT-studies
