Ubuntu 9.10 Released
My favorite Linux distro Ubuntu 9.10 is released today. As always, I’ll break down what it means for RubyHeads and will post the screencast tonight or early tomorrow.
Stay tuned!
RubyHead Short – Vim & Me Part II, Multi-line Editing
vim makes multi-line edit a breeze as I use the feature to comment out multiple lines. Just use v->ctrl-v to select the lines. Use shift to enter i or r.

Scary Trend – Charging for Service Packs
Sorry, I wasn’t one of those jumping up and down when they announced Snow Leopard and its “low” price. In fact, I’m disturbed by the fact that software companies are beginning to charge for service packs.
When I opened up ScreenFlow to record my next short screencast, I was unpleasantly greeted with an upgrade notice that says I now have to pay $29 for what appears to be a service pack. I find this insulting even as a person who makes living writing software. All I can say about this is that Telestream, the company that makes ScreenFlow, just lost a customer.
I live by a simple rule, treat everyone like the way you want to be treated, and if that’s not the case, well, do my part in punishing them.
