georgecn | 6 years ago | on: Lisp in Vim with Slimv or Vlime

From the OP:

  git clone https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv.git ~/.vim/bundle/slimv
  echo 'set runtimepath^=~/.vim/bundle/slimv' >> ~/.vimrc
  vim +'helptags ~/.vim/bundle/slimv/doc' +q

Is this a common way of installing Vim plugins?

It looks like here the whole domain transfer was bypassed on the pretext of a possible botnet participation. The OP is absolutely right. Domain transfer needs to be much more robust than this.

Are you from Netherlands or did you migrate to Netherlands? I ask because I would like to know if it is common for Netherlands natives to have their office at such a convenient distance from home. In the UK, it usually takes a 1 to 2 hour train ride to reach work by train.

I don't use Makesite.py but if you see the network graph [1], obviously there is an audience for this kind of tool. I see many more results of people using and modifying makesite.py here [2].

I think the appeal of a tool like Makesite.py is that you can make it what you want [3]. It is about a 100 lines of code and written very neatly. Instead of wading through documentation and configuration to figure how to get Jekyll or Pelican running, you can make your own Jekyll or Pelican. I can see why many individualist programmers would like such a thing.

My thumbrules:

Middle A or A4: 440 Hz.

Every higher octave doubles the frequencies.
