Vim

Vim is probably the best code editor I've ever tried. It just gets better and better the more you use it. You can define custom commands. It's scriptable. And I love the separation of command vs input mode :)

Happy 286 day!

Today it's the only 2/8/6 of the century. I guess only computer geeks will get this, though :)
In fact, this is almost a week of funny dates. 1/8/6, 2/8/6, 3/8/6, 4/8/6, 5/8/6 (pentium day!!!) and last but noe least, 6/8/6 (ppro day!!!)

Power of valgrind and cgdb combined

I just found out how to make valgrind ask if it should invoke cgdb when it finds an error:

valgrind --db-attach=yes --db-command="cgdb -nw %f %p"

This is incredibly useful. For those of you who don't know, cgdb is a curses interface to gdb, which displays a split view between the code and the gdb console. A bonus is that it uses vim-ish keys and commands. Valgrind is a very powerful memory debugger, which can find memory leaks and find illegal writes and reads to/from memory done by an application.

Addicted to vim and screen

I've become addicted to vim and screen. With it, I can get a very powerful development environment over one ssh connection. I switch between windows in screens with ctrl-a [0-9]. I switch between splits in vim with some custom bound key combos, ctrl-j and ctrl-k. I can issue regular expressions and I can use all the powerful and flexible editing commands vim offers. Just try pressing d and then any 'movement'. For example dt;. That one will cut all text before the next ;. Then there's the visual modes, v and V. Try selecting some code with it and pressing =. That will reindent that code. And this is just poking on the surface of what's possible with vim.
