  1. Re:Erm... on The Union of Vim with KDE · · Score: 1

    I've got used to using Ctrl-[ instead of Esc, my fingers are always a lot nearer those keys than esc is... and my adorable old laptop has a nipple mouse right in the middle of the keyboard, which is good too.

  2. Re:Who wants to start a pool? on Review of Pay Napster · · Score: 1

    that would be "select". once your corp gets big enough to start buying licences by the hundered you can get a nice big box full of cds with every bit of software in every language microsoft have ever made. and none of them need the activation or serial numbers or whatever. i think you might be able to get said box with an appropriate subscription to msdn as well.

    disclaimer: i haven't worked with MS stuff for a couple of years, so things might have changed

  3. Re:Who is Dan Sugalski? on For Sale: 1 Damian Conway, 1 Dan Sugalski · · Score: 1
    dan sugalski is working on perl 6. a lot. take a quick look through the perl6-internals mailing list archive to see just how active he is.

    without dan perl 6 just won't be the same.

  4. Tortoise Rocks! on Transferring the Leadership of Open Source Projects? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I found tortoise after needing something to let a designer keep his pages in the same CVS repository as my code. All i can say is that it's absolutly fantastic - the designer hasn't really got a clue about CVS, but using tortoise is so simple it hurts...

    right-click, "commit"...
    right-click, "update"...

    makes me smile whenever i see emails from the cvs server with the designer's name on them.

    to the guy who wrote it - thank you so much for making using cvs a joy under windows. what on earth do you think tortoise should be doing that it isn't now? the thing's finished as far as i can see! (and yes, that does mean it sends email ;-)

  5. news by email on More Links And Reports On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 1

    ananova are sending emails straight off the wire as news comes in...
