Bill Joy's greatest gift to man ? the vi editor ? The Register

Real programmers use vi / ed / sed / cat etc. e.g.

$ cat > myfile

I have used cat, but it better be a short file, and I know what I'm doing.

That would be illegal.

Sorry, that joke never gets old (to me).

Took my two year old grandson to a local sporting goods store. We spent a good hour looking at all the gear and equipment. Fondled the lures, stroked the rods, dreamed through showcases of spinning reels, spotting scopes and handguns. Looked longingly at the row of long arms behind the counter. Admired the graphs and downriggers. Picked up our first arrow, sat in a tree stand and ogled the bows.

I may have corrupted him for life!

i thought it was pretty funny.

Me too.

Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever even used plain vi rather than vim. I think the closest I've come is when vim gets started up in its compatibility mode and momentarily puzzles me with unexpected behavior.

I believe the only operating system that (might still) ship with vi is FreeBSD. The reason I surmise this to be true? I always know I'm on FreeBSD immediately when the recover functionality and visual mode don't work.

No, all real unixes still ship vi, it's only communist operating systems that ship vim, because the vi license isn't communist.

Ah, and here I thought it was a typo.

As did I.

Due to yet another unexpected change in work position/schedule, I was off three days, worked one, and am now off again for the weekend. I like it.

So far today, I finished the laundry I started last week, cooked a real breakfast, went to the supermarket, and am off to the gym. Now if the cat would only clean the house while I was gone.....

Hit three buckets of range balls. None straight. Ordered pizza. Started drinking. Have six four-year-olds coming over for a rainy-day playdate later -- and you don't wanna deal with that shit sober!

Arch64 seems to install vi by default instead of vim, and I would assume the 32-bit ArchLinux does too.

I read that as sixty-four-year-olds, instead of six four-year-olds.

You should just keep them in one of these.

Amen.

Sold my car today.

Jeez, the JH13 bug has really bitten you strong.

They are tough to DAC properly.

Checked out the Sony Z5 for a few days shooting;

Went up to the Marin headlands to get some stock footage.

Got Amanda and Daisy to tell me about their day at Love Fest.

Got Some night shots in San Rafael.

Jim Pemry slowly approaches with Hannibal's dinner tray.

Yesterday, my wife and I hiked some of Red Rock Canyon, NV, then to see KA (Cirque de Soleil) show. The night before we saw The Beatles Love. Both were great. Today, sitting at the airport to go home.

Drove to just outside of Columbus Ohio. Tomorrow I'll do a run down Ohio 555, a nice stretch of twisty road. Tuesday I hope to connect with our very own Reksy to share some local beer and conversation.

Opened several cans of worms, got shots of a Kinder, Gentler Empire than I seem to remember from my youth.

"These aren't the kids you're looking for. They can go and get an icecream."

Took my son to his 9am hockey game, which they won 5-1. Then took my daughter to her 1pm soccer game, which they won 3-1. Then took all the kids to a skating party. It's been a long day, and I'm out of beer.
