Often this involves using Vim to write code or edit documents. Over the summer the CS department upgraded a bunch of their software ... http://busha.net/archives/38 I was searching for an answer the other day at work so I went to my favorite search engine and typed in my query.

I'm really excited about the classes I'm taking this semester: Operating Systems, Intro to Algorithms, Software Design, Computer Ethics and Scientific Presentations.  I usually have high opinions of my classes when they start and through the semester those good ... http://busha.net/archives/35 D: The world is too grim of a place, you can't take it too seriously.

As most of you know Vim is Vi Improved, a text editor that allows you to do all of ... http://busha.net/archives/30 At work I am part of a team that mostly uses C#. Because I'm new to it (and sorely inexperienced) a coworker loaned me a copy of C# Design Patterns by James Cooper.
