With vim

Attended the monthly BaltoLUG meeting tonight. It was easy; the new location is downtown, about ten blocks away.

The meeting was held at the Baltimore Node, a hacker space. This was my first visit. The space is a large workroom with various bits of electronics on tables, stored in bins, and tacked onto the walls. Not elegant but very practical.

The presentation was on VIM, the improved VI editor that is shipped with just about every distro of Linux. It's a powerful editor, and reminds me of TECO on the DECsystem-10. It can handle regular expressions and it has a macro-programming tool.
