I was not happy with default settings of the vim editor on snow leopard. Following are my settings. So far i don’t have a problem with them. Just put in a file named .vimrc on home folder.

set nocompatible
set selectmode=mouse
set backupdir=/tmp
set directory=/tmp
set guifont=Lucida_Console:h8
set guioptions-=T
set errorfile=/tmp/vim.errors.log
set ic
set fileformats=dos,unix,mac
highlight StatusLineNC guifg=#ff0000 guibg=#000000
highlight StatusLine guifg=#00ff00 guibg=#000000
set hls
hi Normal guibg=black guifg=white
hi Search guibg=white guifg=black
hi IncSearch guibg=white guifg=black
set mousef
set tabstop=2

First time in my life, i am amazed by a “based-on” movie, and it’s really fun as the original comic book. Well they’ve slightly changed the story, but it still rocks. Still I need to say that I did not like the way that they turn this into a “will-be-continued” story. Also i didn’t like that kick-ass got laid with sweet Kate. Well that guy is a true loser, come on. Other than that, it’s really fun movie. One of the best.

Yeah it’s coming soon. We’re developing a social network application at OyunStudyosu where you can turn your website into a virtual world. In sroups (which is a flash application), users will step into a virtual isometric world and interact with other people who visit the website at the same time.

The idea, somehow, reminds me the matrix movie which is by far the most influenced movie for a programmer. In matrix, people log into the virtual world called matrix (not using flash application though ), and interact with other “virtual” people. Everything is software, everything is obkject in that world but the experience is real. I really wish that I have a world like that. Sroups gives us an opportunity to use the matrix (imo). But it’s a pity that we can’t bind our body to that world physically.

Well, I should mention that there are plenty of virtual worlds around, like warcraft (which is awesome), but the main difference is, sroups is like a simulation of the containig website, not a game, not a fantasy. At least it should. Of course the project is in (closed) beta now and it’s too primitive to make an analysis.

But yeah, for me, the idea is very excited.

Btw, I’ve decided to write my posts in english from now on. Will explain the reasons later.
