More vacation computing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will be only two short memos as vacation is not only about
leisure computing, there are plenty other things to do.
(1) I decided to finally dive into vi editor. I use UNIX-like
operating systems for almost twenty years and I still have problems
when any work in vi is needed. That's a shame and I have to do
something about it. After two evenings in the plain nvi editor of
NetBSD I already remember some of the shortcuts and use vi to edit
Perl scripts.
(2) Just yesterday, when navigating through the vast corners of
gopherspace, I noticed, that Jirka entered our text-only
exquisiteness and created his own gopherhole at SDF [1].
This is, of course, great news! What some call retro, obsolete or
at least alternative, he's living every day and his blog is for me
great source of inspiration. I hope that on gopher his texts will
be as good as on WWW. Jirka, welcome!
