Installing vim-rails on OpenSuse 11.2

Posted 4 months ago

Get vim-rails either download the rails.vim from vim.org or clone vim-rails from github.com. Follow the instructions on the vim.org site or in the README on GitHub, installing the files into the appropriate VIM folder, probably ~/.vim/.

Note that I had the following VIM packages installed:
  • vim-enhanced
  • vim-base

Before you try anything further!

Additionally I needed to install vim-data. Afterwards you will find a plethora of scripts in /usr/share/vim/current/syntax, I initially had tried installing some of these for example xhtml.vim from vim.org and experienced much grief. Eventually I realized I just needed to install the Suse package mentioned above.

Once I start to become a vim-rails ninja I might post another blog on my findings, good and bad habits.

Long Overdue Freedom

Posted 4 months ago

During the 4 hour drive back to Canton from Lansing, Michigan from the Great Lakes Ruby Bash I had a realization. Its been long past due, I couldn't even bring myself to guessing how long its been since I last booted to it. Its a waste of time, space and hurting my morals.

Step 1- Staring off positive...

Something good to drink

Step 2 - A good song and it makes sense...you'll see

Something good to listen to

Step 3 - NTFS hrm wonder what that could be?

Looks like we have a problem here

Step 4 - Ah, who cares!

All better

It should be noted that I am so confident in my actions that I didn't even take the time to look through the files to see if I wanted anything on the file system...obviously its nothing important otherwise it would be on a journaled file system!

As reward for my accomplishment, I decided to subscribe to a Twitter account.
