the monkey puzzle: the old days

the old days

I just noticed this on the vim site:

Finally you can join your favorite drink with your favorite editor: It's the Vim mug! Besides the Vim logo there are a dozens of Vim commands explained. We tried adding all the commands, but realized it's difficult to drink coffee from a bath tub.

No, no, you've got it all wrong - it's the emacs reference that's too big to fit on a mug - that's what all my vi loving friends kept telling me back in the old days, right?

Heh; I used to have a vi reference mug once. I gave it to someone when I didn't have any use for it.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.

i donate to :

but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :
