Just Another Day

An Hour Well Spent

noreply@blogger.com (ddoxey) — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 04:46:00 +0000

I spent a bout an hour at the office today getting my F6 mapped to to a vimscript function that tidies up the whitespace in my code.

Usually I map F6 to trim trailing whitespace, and F7 to replace tabs with spaces.

inoremap <F6> %s/\s+$//g <CR>

inoremap <F7> %s/\<TAB>/ /g <CR>

But today I decided that I was going to combine those two into a single TidyWS() vimscript function.

It turns out getting this to work cleanly was more challenging than I expected.

Long story short, here's how I did it.

function! TidyWS()

let l:save = winsaveview()

silent! %s/\s+$//g

silent! %s/\<Tab>/ /g

call winrestview(l:save)

echo "whitespace tidied"

endfunction

nnoremap <F6> :call TidyWS()<CR>

Blue Falls Drive

The city of Chula Vista finally replaced this sign for the nth time. Why anyone would name a street, only one block away from a community college, "Blue Falls" is beyond me; it probably won't be too much longer, till once again, some young pirates turn the "F" into a "B".

A Day at the Ballpark

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Taylor) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:42:00 +0000

Instead of working I'm at a baseball game on a beautiful Thursday afternoon. I notice that some people don't get it, you hear them complaining about how their team is playing or how slow service is at the snack bar. They souldn't let it get to them and remember they aren't at WORK!!!!

as shown above; to take a snap shot of a blog with one's mobile phone camera, and then post the picture to the very same blog has no apparent diverse effects.... such as causing audio feedback or blowing a hole through the universe.

as i stand here and gaze out at the big blue less than an hour before what appears to be great conditions for a perfect sunset, i think to myself, "how did the beach get the crabs?"

Bank Deposit Cut-off Times

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Taylor) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:07:00 +0000

Why do banks have a deposit cut-off time for it being posted to your account that's like an hour before they close? I got up to the windows about 20 minutes after cut-off time and said "I'm to late for this to post today and that I needed to cover some charges". The teller said "just a minute, let me see what I can do". She proceeded to ask the other tellers "if they had gone next day yet?". From what I figured out, at 4:00 they change out there cash drawers and all the other transaction stuff and start with a new drawer for the last hour they're open. Is there a legitimate reason for this or is it a ploy to suck more money out of some of there customers in overdraft fees? I could go on and on about overdraft fees an how they post things to your account to maximize them, but I'll save that for another day. I want to hear your comments on this!

Parked out Front Waiting

Why is it that at drive-thru windows if you've been there more than a minute they have you pull around to the front? Then you still get your food before the car behind you.
