  Vim is the best of both worlds. In theory.

  And what better way to spend free time than to take time to blog about time? About altering your very conception of time. In short, about fuzzy time.

  If you or someone (else) you love uses WordPress, go to your site right now and view the source. Hopefully, you won't see what I did.
• Spreading the Laptop Virus?
  
  updated: 2007 Dec 01 Sat
  Before the XO, all they could do together was climb trees, shout in each other's faces, laugh their heads off, and (presuming a poverty of cars) run wild through the streets. Now, at last, comes a bountiful wealth of experience.
• Chickadee: Project Timing from the Shell
  
  updated: 2007 Nov 27 Tue
  Chickadee is a tiny tool to let you analyze your time from the shell. You edit the records in your text editor; simple macros make it easy to insert the start and stop time for each project. Since it's a human-readable format, you can tweak the times if needed. Since it's a text file, you can make notes right there, and they'll be parsed out later.

  Update: Although I used this script privately for years, I never felt it was quite ready to share. Now (2010 May) I do my timing with Emacs Org-Mode, which is much, much better.

  updated: 2007 Jan 24 Wed

  updated: 2004 Oct 25 Mon
  Sick of M$ Word? Try OpenOffice (free). Torn between pirating Photoshop or pawning your piano? Try the Gimp (free). Let’s see, how many thousands of dollars have we saved so far?
