It’s been a while since I wrote my Vim Introduction and Tutorial (exactly one year). A lot happened between now and then, I chose to get a better feeling about Emacs for example.
The reasons aren’t easily explained; The most prominent reason is the awesome AucTex-mode since I’m working heavily with LaTeX lately.
Anyways, learning Vim and Emacs is better than learning only one of them :-).
My article about using rsync to mimic the behavior of Apple’s Time Machine generated a lot of traffic, and more important, a lot of feedback.
In this article I’ll summarize and try to clarify a few things.
rsync is one of the tools that have gradually infiltrated my day to day tool-box (aside Vim and Zsh).
Using rsync it’s very easy to mimic Mac OS X new feature called Time Machine. In this article I’ll show how to do it, but there is still a nice GUI missing – for those who like it shiny.
I often tried to learn the great Emacs editor/IDE/operating system. The last
time I tried it, I spent some time getting comfortable with it until I wanted
to customize my .emacs file.
That was the point when I entered vi .emacs. As soon as I realized what
I’ve done, I knew that Vim has won me over a long time ago.
