The "Unix Tool Box" is a collection of Unix/Linux/BSD commands and tasks which are useful for IT work or for advanced users. This is a practical guide with concise explanations, however the reader is supposed to know what s/he is doing. With its menu structure, it provides an excellent resource for beginners and advanced users. Jerry Stutte has gone 73 days without a security incident. He should run rkhunter and tiger. 7:30 !!!***%%%### !!!###%%% Vim (NOT Fandango) Expanded!!!! by Bill Odom. Bill did a great presentation on VIM 2 weeks ago at Perl Mongers. This will NOT be the same presentation! NEW APPLICATIONS! NEW EXAMPLES! OLD JOKES! Bill has more material to explore but you didn't need to be there for the earlier talk. Its fine to pick it up at this point. This presentaion on the "Vi IMproved" text editor is much more than a tutorial. It has two major goals: * Give people who'd never used vim before an * idea of its power, and whet their appetites * so they'd want to learn more. * Show more experienced vim users one or more * new features, techniques, or tricks that * they could use immediately. A tutorial wouldn't do much to convince the first group that vim was worth their time, and a tutorial would've just bored the second. With that said, there's a lot of desire for solid tutorial content from people that are already convinced that vim is something they want to better understand. With enough continued interest, we may expect many short focused vim tutorials in tutorials in the future...or maybe workshops. Bill Odom builds left handed widgets, which he discards because he is right handed. Or is it the other way around? _______________________ ============================================================================ Thurs. 9 Sept. 10:00am WCORCC-WE - MS Word SIG Excel SIG 11:00am SCORCC-F Financial SIG 6:00pm SIM - Society for Information Management 6:30pm STLJUG - St. Louis Java Users Group =========================================================================== Fri. 10 Sept.
