Yet Another LinuxWorld Update

Posted by Hemos on from the still-going dept.

Well, we're finally closing in on the end of the show (Sleep! I can sleep again!). We're sending out as much streaming audio at mp3-2.thesync.com:8000 as we can - and hopefully we'll have video again by 3 PM EST. Jon Katz is here signing Geeks and will be on at noon EST. The show ends at 4 PM EST - so get it while you can. Update: 02/04 07:06 by CN : Footage from the Beanie awards is available over at TheSync now. See who won, who got hugged, and who got slagged. *grin*

    Subject: Vim gets Beanie Award!

    Thursday night, February 3, in a crowded party,
    the slashdot Beanie Awards have been presented.
    And guess what? Vim won!

    The category "Best Open Source Text Editor" listed
    Emacs, Xemacs, Pico, Joe and Vim. It's great that
    Vim has been voted to be the winner.
    Thanks to all who voted!

    The $2000 price will be donated to ICCF Holland,
    to help the orphans in Uganda.
    See http//www.vim.org/iccf for info on the project.
