Today I wanted to install the vim-blogger plugin I mentioned in an earlier post, on another computer. I couldn't remember exactly where I found it, so I just went to google and searched. And figured out it was hard to find - first this very page was the only relevant thing I managed to dig up.
After a while I found what I was looking for, and figured out that proper attribution should have been given the first time I mentioned the plugin. It is "the geek wannabe" over at http://djcraven.blogspot.com who has created the plugin. The plugin can be downloaded here, and djcraven provide some documentation in this post in his blog
Thansk, geek wannabe for the great tool!
Take care

A new place on earth
There is a new fully buzzword compliant place for bloggers available, tumblr. The idea seems to be that it should be really easy to blog, even if you have very little to blog about. Of course, I have to test it out! You can check out my entry into that thing. My review goes like this:
1. Signing up at tumblr is very easy. Go to tumblr.com, hit Sign Up, type in email and a password, and pick a url (the part in front of tumblr.com), and you're halfway there. Wait for a confirmation email, confirm, and you're in.
2. If you're like my, you want to configure template and stuff right away. Up in the right corner you have a link saying "Change settings" once you are logged in.Hit it, and a nice interactive web2.0ish page is loaded, where you can pick a template, and adjust colors, and see a more or less live preview as you test away. On the settings-page you can also adjust what the url of you blog should be. You may even choose a custom domain name which probably mean you can have tumblr on your own domain. I haven't tested that out yet. Finish by saving changes. This should take you back to the front page. If you don't like the templates, you can go custom as well, which brings up the template for you to edit in a simple textarea. You can update the preview by pressing a button. Beware, you should now change colors inside the textare, not using the color-edit-section. You figure out why if you try!
3. Start creating posts. There are shortcuts for regular posts, photos, quotes, links, conversations and videos on your tumblr dashboard. You can also grab a button for your bookmarks bar for quick access to creating link-posts. I have only tested the regular post and the link thing so far, but those seems to work ok.
4. Will I use this? I don't know yet, we will see in the future!

Do I have to change phone already?
According to this post in engadget, there is a new device comming up from HTC:
While my HTC TyTN still does a fine job, there are certain things with this device that seems to be particularly interesting. First the display of course; 5 inch and more resolution than the TyTN. Next better cpu. A camera with higher resolution and built in GPS is always nice to have.
I have to follow this closely. Maybe I can have this while I wait for the iPhone. This device is probably to large to be the only phone in the pocket as well, so I can still keep the iPhone when it appears as my phone. Hmm, though decisions to make!

The vim blogger plugin
The other day I found a plugin that make it possible to post to blogger directly from the editor Vim. As you see I don't blog a lot, and an important reason for that is that the interface for actually posting something to my blog is so awkward.
The other reason is of course that I do not have interesting things to say all the time. That is not likely to change, but with this plugin I hope I can do at least some more posting.
