Brainmeltingly Awesome Collection of Desktop Wallpaper

The Desktop Wallpaper Project was started in 2007 to commemorate the release of Radiohead's In Rainbows. And, it is by far the sickest single accumulation of designer wallpaper I've ever seen.

Jumpman - Retro Gaming Porn

posted about 1 year ago

I have enough trouble concentrating as it is but, this one is worth mentioning.

Jumpman is everything you love about early 80's side scrollers with an artfully awesome, contemporary twist. And, it's free. I just wish the song from the video was actually in the game.

TaskPaper Theme - For That Matter

posted about 1 year ago

I've been really getting into TaskPaper lately and being a nerd and a control freak I had to fiddle around a make a theme that was perfect for my needs.

I minimized the visual emphasis of tags because, the only time I want to see them is when I'm writing them.

I chose green instead of red for tasks marked with @today and @overdue because, red makes me feel stressed about my workload and green feels friendly and makes me want to work on stuff.

Even if you don't agree with my design decisions (oh the horror) this would probably make a good starting point for your own theme because I touch on a lot of features of the template system and I spent some extra time making the code legible (yucky XML).

Sweet Collection of Vim Resources

posted about 1 year ago

Having just switched to vim, I've been spending a lot of time searching for learning resources. Sadly I've found a lot of the available content a little too 'spock ears' for me.

Luckly, mileszs has a running list of awesome vim learning materials.
