Vi Survival Guide

I hate Vi. I have never been able to understand it. If you aren’t a geek you are probably wondering right now what Vi is. Vi is a console text editor for Unix. When I first got my web server about four years ago I tried Vi and never understood it, many friends tried to teach me with no luck. I instead used Pico, and then graduated to Nano. Well after spending countless times Googling trying to find a decent guide for Vi I found one. This thing is awesome; it tells you everything you could ever need to know about it. Check it out!

Sandstorm

I got this from a good friend of mine. This is simply amazing.

Here are some pics and footage of the shamal (sand storm) that tried to eat my helo coming back to my camp 2 days ago. I was 10 miles out flying back to the camp at the end of my mission and asked for clearance to land. Tower told me negative and to turn around because he was at 10′ visibility. I could see the storm billowing in the distance. I turned around and headed toward another camp. The sand storm was chasing me just like in the movie, “the scorpion king”. Mean while the crew chiefs in the back were capturing it all on their digital cameras. When I reached the other camp and contacted tower to ask for landing instructions, he replied, “Do you realize there is a sand storm at your 6 o’clock? I almost said, “Here’s your sign”. He cleared me to cross all active runways direct to my touchdown spot. As soon as I was wheels down the storm engulfed our helo. It was the wildest thing I have ever seen.
