vim-togglenumber

posted on 2015-06-01 01:39:23

Today I publish my first plugin vim-togglenumber for vim, the editor I've been using for more than 2 years now. So far I haven't found a satisfying plugin which allow me to cycle between different numbering modes in vim. And then I thought why not create one, and also learn how to formally write a plugin for vim.

Even though the main logic is (very) simple - within a few lines of code, things get complicated regarding the packaging, documentation, compatibility check, etc. I've got to learn quite few things during these processes as well.

Last but not least, not to forget useful instructions for installation and usage. User experience is a must.



Make 1/7 of your life easier... and happier

I came across this post a few days ago https://medium.com/@moonstorming/10-things-i-wish-i-knew-on-my-first-day-at-google-107581d87286. It's a great article on working attitude from a person who just celebrated his 5-year at Google. It makes a lot of sense on what you do defines who you are and will be, or in another words, what you will achieve in the future.

It's going to the end of the year in less than 12 hours. This reading came just in time to help me refresh my frame of mind, getting ready for the coming year. Here is my favorite quote from the piece of writing: "1/7 of your life consists of Mondays ...you better work on your Monday attitude".

Check the article out. And happy new year!



First ever blog post

Well, this is my first ever try with blogging. And I chose Github Pages and Coleslaw and Mardown! I could have chosen either Blogger or Wordpress, which seem to be easier options for newbie. Okay, I'm a (average) developer and I do want to enrich my web developement skill, also to catch up with the trend of internet and web that is moving at the speed of light.

In the near future, I'll write about my experience building on this blog. Lastly, not to forget the classical:

Hello World!

Happy blogging!


This blog covers vim, thought, sbcl, markdown, lisp, common lisp, coleslaw, blogging
