This is the trailer for the latest open movie project, Sintel. The goal of these projects is to create a completely open movie: use open source software to create it, and when it’s finished, release all of the assets used to create the movie to the public. The CGI is created in the 3D animation package Blender

vi: I Love You.

Posted at by Roxy Light

I’m reading a book about the vi editor right now. For those less UNIX-inclined, vi is a command-line based text editor for UNIX systems like Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. It’s installed on basically every system (in some flavor or another. I prefer strawberry Vim, but I’ve been told the cinnamon variety deserves a second glance) and is remarkably easy to use.

It’s also more powerful than I realized.

The problem is that you need to find a good guide to vi. Its built-in help is wonderful reference, but it can’t get you up and running. For years, I’ve been bound to only a fraction of the commands. No more. Why would I use anything else?

[Cue angry Emacs users]

If my readers are so inclined, I may start posting some vi tips.

The premise behind this video is that Google Chrome is so fast that you can do Mythbusters-style high-speed footage and Chrome will beat a sound wave.

Makes you wonder what connection speed they have. I won’t dispute that the rendering engine is that fast.
