I had some issues with the Gvim from Macvim.org, related to the python-version linked in that version of Vim. There is also a version of vim delivered with MacOSX Leopard, but that version does not have the python bindings.
A couple of weeks ago I discovered the MacVim at http://code.google.com/p/macvim/, and when I discovered the python-issues today I figured I could try that vim. Unfortunately, the binary that is available there is built against python2.3 (Tiger), and I like to use the python2.5 on Leopard. Luckily, there are some nice instructions in the wikipages! Without much trouble, I was able to build my very own Leopard MacVim with python2.5.
If someone need a binary, just tell me - I can share!
Btw, if you wonder why I wanted a vim with python2.5, check this page: http://djcraven5.blogspot.com/2006/10/send-gmail-message-from-vim.html. Now I have libgmail in my python2.5 environment, a python2.5 enabled MacVim, and I can send email right from my editor. Neat!

I'm still here!
I have been kind of quiet lately. The main reason is probably that my wife and I have another child to take care of - those folks who follows me closely know that we got anoterh daughter on 8. october. She is sweet and cute and sleeps almost all day, as common for babies. Still, with more kids there will be some more work to do, and while we adapt to the new situations, there will be a bit less writing.
I have some things that I will write up on as soon as time permits. On the Oqo O2, I am testing Windows Vista now. I had some issues with linux, and wanted to test Vista such that I can make a fair comparision. I have run Vista for a full month now, and will write up on that. On friday I also got a brand new HTC TyTN II. This is a Windows Mobile version 6 device, and a nice followup to the HTC TyTN I have used in the past. I will check back on my earlier notes on the TyTN and see if this one is better. I am not supposed to keep this device for myself, as I just check it out for one of the bosses at Simula Research Lab. But that depends of course. If it's bad, I have to keep it, while if it is just good enough, I let the boss have it. If I enjoy the device very much, I buy another one for the boss and keep this one myself ;0
I am also awaiting the new Nokia N82, and will review that device when I get it.
One of the really bad things with the Nokia E61i is the camera. If the camera in TyTN II is close to that in the original TyTN, I might restart my photo-a-day project which I just closed down when the TyTN died as the E61i was just to bad.
I will be back soon! Take care.
