So, I’m struggling somewhat with the move to Arch. Not that Arch is
problematic in any way, it seems to be me and my “debianised thinking”.
I noticed that the Vim plugins that were packaged for Arch all install in
system directories and hence are imposed on all users. Not a good thing. So,
inspired by Debian’s vim-addons-manager, I hacked up a solution relying
on pacman. Then I packaged two Vim plugins for Arch. The idea was to do
rather than talk, so it wasn’t until after this that I asked for feedback on
aur-general. Just to have the idea shot down
Anyway, after being presented with an existing solution more inline with “the
Arch way” I decided to try it out. I’ve now subscribed to using
GetLatestVimScripts. Brilliant.
Now I need to convince the author of haskellmode to put it on vim.org
and I really ought to get my packages off AUR.
I had some problems producing proper Swedish characters in WordPress for a
little while. This only happened when using Mozex and
Vim to edit posts.
The solution was quite simple I use UTF-8 encoding throughout my entire
Ubuntu GNU/Linux system, every application defaults to it. Except Firefox, it
seems. Making sure that the Character Encoding was set to UTF-8 solved it.
I simply can’t stand editing text in the text areas using the editor in
Firefox (Mozilla). Apparently there is still no edit externally command in
Mozilla yet. Luckily there’s Mozex, but don’t try installing that
version, use this instead (the original won’t install anymore). The
original site is still useful though, since it holds a link to the
arguments the different commands take.
