Let me know if you want to be part of the beta phase, we propose to put online 4Gb of data from our beta test users for free.

Using the clipboard in vim

How many vim users know that you can copy from and paste to the clipboard?
It's even very easy: use the register +
To use a register with a copy or paste command, you specify it by typing " followed by the register name.
So, to copy to the x register and the clipboard:
"+y
and to paste from the x register:
"+p

I think this would be best illustrated by a screencast. Anyone interested in vim screencasts? Should I take the time to do some vim screencasts? Let me know.

BDO darts world championship over

The 2009 BDO Lakeside World Professional Championship, a one week darts competition, ended today, with the title going to Ted Hankey after a great and dramatic final, decided in the final set.
Tony O'Shea lost his 4th final of the year, sad for him :(

Before you laugh that I'm looking darts competition on television, did you ever watch a match? Everyone I've talked about it laughed at me first, but got caught when watching. I've started looking at it during my exams as univ, and try to follow the championship every year. I dont watch other competitions, so I can't comment on them, but the BDO world championship at the Lakeside is something you should give a try, usually on BBC2 around this time of the year. That will be for 2010 though!
