I’ve been using Vim for about four years, but I’ve recently started making the effort to use some of the more advanced features outside of the core set that I usually use. Surprisingly there’s even some basic navigation commands that I never really learned that greatly improve editing efficiency, so I’ve been using a couple of cheat sheets that come highly recommended. Here they are:

I’m going to start taking notes of a few interesting articles/websites that I find each week in order to share them with others and preserve them for myself. And so begins Week One. Links will cover any article that I find interesting, but will largely be grounded in science and technology.
National Geographic is an exceptional source of photos and imagery. I wrote a short Python script that’s been tested on Linux and Mac OS X to read the @NatGeo Twitter stream and automatically download their Photo of the Day featured image. Occasionally the photo of the day is provided by a National Geographic reader and these don’t provide high-res download links (likely due to licensing and permissions) so the script ignores these.
