Vim & Vision

[ #15 ] Help Permalink

Added nearly two years ago and last edited less than a year ago

The name of the blog is Vim & Vision. Vim happens to be my favourite text editor. If you are not a giant, slimy nerd then this will mean nothing to you. The 'Vision' part just sounded OK.

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.

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:

Start your own blog
Create an article on your blog that links to an article on my blog
Begin your furious character assassination
