This is a blog. A blog is an online journal.

The name of the blog is Vim & Vision. Vim means energy, vision means foresight. These are two attributes I lack. Vim also happens to be my favourite text editor. If you are not a giant, slimy nerd then this will mean nothing to you.

This blog mainly talks about tech things (like computer programming and the tools surrounding said art.) It also features rants, and seemingly unrelated facts and opinions.

A rant is not an essay. It is not a thesis. It is an opinion, often an inflamed one. It does not need references or sources. It can cause as much anger in its readers as it alleviates for its writer. Apologies will not be made.

A tag that features on this blog is WDTEM. This stands for What Does That Even Mean? It is a generic catchphrase and an in-joke among my friends. It usually labels something as obscure or random, or points out misnomers.

The Actors/Artists/Characters section is fairly unique. It features small images with links to their subject's corresponding Wikipedia articles. This section is updated as I become emotionally or intellectually involved with new films, shows, novels, music etc. I believe you can tell a lot about someone's personality by getting them to create such a list.

This blog does not have comments. I will not (currently) bow to the demand for them. I believe comments are the scourge of the internet. They seem mostly vicious and uninformed. Yes, there are insightful and helpful comments out there. However at this time I do not believe the positives outweigh the negatives, so you will not see comments on my site. If you desperately wish to make your comments on an article known then I suggest you follow this course of action:

This blog is hand-rolled using the Django web development framework. See the Colophon for further information.

Your site has a bug! See here first, I probably know about it. This blog currently does have bugs. I am fixing it up as I go :-)
