Re: Linux on my Macbook Air

When I recently tried Mac OS X after using a lowly Lubuntu install on an old Dell laptop I realized how right you are. OS X uses the spiffy high quality Unix graphics paradigms to make it look really good but ends up removing the powerful Unix stuff that made the BSD systems so awesome. All looks but no brain...

Thanks :) I love the song also!

I have no clue about battery time, since the laptop is over 3 years old. I think i have around 1.5 hours when I'm on 3g/internet, but i have no clue how much worse it is compared to os X.

I have some problems with wlan/3g sometimes, when i wake it up from sleep mode i see no active wlans even tho there should be. Usually i just have to toggle the lid and it works again.

Probably will keep this computer free and buy a new caged iMac for iOS development. Or the new Mac book pro?

Lol the song fits perfect, the unix force in a cage of osX...what an impressive image.
Never had this in mind before.
What about battery runtime in compare with osX?

Vim has a pretty threshold before you learn to use it for daily tasks, and it takes even more practice before you become faster than in your old editor. I would recommend trying out the vim-tutor that comes packaged with vim in most distros.

All feedback on my vim configuration is appreciated, good luck!

I've been thinking about trying Vim for a while now but never got the time to do it. Eclipse is starting to feel a bit heavy weight for some of my projects and I'm not going to code in Notepad++.

Thanks for sharing your configuration, I'll probably try it while I'm at it!

You have some nice stuff going on there. I've got some ideas that I wanna discuss with you more in detail. Poll your inbox

Perhaps the currency should be time? each user is given 30 minutes to spend, adding a song costs the duration of the track. If you upvote a track, the cost of the track should be devided between the adder and all the upvoters, that makes it cheap to play music that most people like?

Thanks for the feedback!

I guess someones need to have veto for pause/play/volume/next/prev to be able to lower the volume when the neighbour knocks on the door. I like the other ideas, I'll update the blog post with the later tonight.

Coil — Thu, 13 May 2010 02:54:25 -0000

I think the basic concept is cool and could work really well.
Some ideas:
1) You can't vote more than one time on a song.
You can still use your songcurrency on other songs, but to use all the currency you will actually have to care about what others want to listen to as well.

2) Allow only upvotes.
I don't see any reason to have down votes since if the community is active; songs no one wants to listen to will always have more votes.

3) Number of initial votes for a song is based on that users previous vote history.
Like slashdots commenting system. A person choosing songs that consistently gets a high number of uploads will get x number of starting votes on a new song they add to the playlist. Or maybe the user can choose to spend some currency received by getting upvotes.

What is your plan for the normal control buttons (play|pause, stop, fwd, bck)?
The person controlling those will essentially have a veto on all music played. Perhaps you'll just have to trust the host to do the right thing?
