(Ramblings) Adventures in Editting

I have come to the conclusion that I spend too much time in vi.

The situation: I was trying to figure out why some code I was working on today wouldn't compile. I knew it should have worked, but instead I was getting the error "Syntax error on token ":", "boolean", "void", "byte", "short", "int", "long", "char", "float", "double", "Identifier", "interface", "class" expected." (vi users can probably already see exactly where this is going)

So, I go up to the line number listed in the output, I take a look, and what do I find? There at the end of the line are the two characters that messed everything up: :w. I had tried to enter command mode and write the file to disk using vi commands while in eclipse. I'm not sure what exactly this says; either I need a break or I need to start paying more attention when I code.

On another front, I went up to STU for lunch today. I can't say much about the sandwich I had, which may have something to do with the fact that the server claimed that no one had ever ordered one before, but I did discover one thing: I like cranberry mayo. Now I need to find some for my own use.

I was going to link you to the vi plugin for eclipse, but it seems it no longer exists.  That saddens me.

What?! There was a vi plugin for eclipse? And it no longer exists?!

There is no God.

And another thing... if you're the first person who ever ordered that sandwich, and the mayonaise was cranberry flavored... I'd be a little curious about whether it was actually supposed to be cranberry flavored.

Well, according to the sign it was supposed to be cranberry mayo, and the mayo was pinkish.

I think I was safe on the ingredients though, they seemed to be the things you'd use in non-veggie sandwiches quite often. So hopefully they weren't too old.

I don't think anything about cranberry mayo screams "used often".
