I like using Selecta as a fuzzy file opener in Vim. It doesn’t do any caching, so I never have to remember to flush the cache after generating a migration in Rails. The downside is that if you work on a larger project, it can get kinda pokey. Selecta’s Vim functionality relies on find to populate the file list. If we tell find to ignore directories, it gets a lot faster.

I use keyboard browsing extensions in my browsers. Vimium in Chrome, and Pentadactyl in Firefox. They emulate shortcuts I’m used to in Vim, and allow me to browse the internet without touching my mouse, for the most part. The core functionality is that whenever I press the f key, every link gets a bubble of text next to it. I can type the text in one of the bubbles to “click” on the link.

Fate/Zero parody/fan fiction. Spoilers, obviously. Spoilers? Spoilers, spoilers. Gas leaks! The scene: As Emiya and Kiri fight to the death, the grail summoning is completed. As the victor of the war, Emiya is pulled into a reality marble. The grail, appearing to him in the form of his dead wife, puts forth it’s glorious plan for world peace. Emiya spoke to the vision. The shell of his wife, the monstrous grail.

I enjoy reading The Setup. Who are you, and what do you do? I’m @JamesGecko, and I do web development. Right now it’s mostly PhoneGap and Ruby on Rails stuff. What hardware do you use? My non-work home machine is a gaming desktop I assembled for cheap on Black Friday 2012. It packs an Intel i5-3570K CPU, 8 GB RAM, a GeForce GTK 560 Ti, two boot SSDs, and a large mechanical HD.

Some people like scary games. I’m not really an Amnesia: Dark Descent kind of guy. My favorite horror game is this little bugger, Illuminator, which I pull up every Halloween. It’s from a project on the TIGSource forums called Action 52 Owns. It looks like this: Let’s talk about why it’s great. As you can see, it’s dark and you have a flashlight. What you don’t see is that the house is full of monsters.
