File::Find::Rule::Extending - the mini-guide to extending File::Find::Rule - search.cpan.org

A mini tutorial on how to alter file::find items. I really like the example that they give for spitting back random files. Imagine tying it into an xmms call so that you could get a random playback and then be able to save the playlist from inside xmms.

Or showing random pictures or whatever. Neat stuff.

File::Find::Rule - Alternative interface to File::Find - search.cpan.org

Best of VIM Tips

Go to the Best of VIM Tips, gVIM's Key Features. Then wonder why you are using any other editor. Then again, i am using emacs for my email and for editing code and washing my dog.

The main thing is that I use both all the time, and can't imagine why some people want to holy war over these editors. Of course, bike sheds do tend to obscure vision.

Geek Pit: Using Emacs to Edit Blog Posts

Geek pit has this article that I'm really needing to read in full. The overall gist is that you can edit the posts you make in emacs without too much fuss.

Oh and there is a comment on how to post articles to blogger via emacs as well. Truely a very nice editor. I guess the next questions is: Is there something like this for VIM?
