    Interesting...I use FuzzyFileFinder for finding the files themselves right now, but I can see the value in having a feature like that built-in.

    > Is there any way to do this within Proj? Nope, it's simple by design. Project.vim seems mainly for projects that need to pull in files from all over the place and probably fulfil…

    Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of introspecting the directory names...I'll see if I can work that in there. You have to put quotes because otherwise Vim complains about u…

    Please report any bugs and/or feature requests. Project.vim stinks so I'm set on finding a simpler path.

    Eh, why not. Pages took so long to load, so let's see if my host holds up to their unlimited bandwidth promise. http://www.703designs.com/sites/default/files/article.pdf Awaits thr…

    I know I signed that as my final post, but I feel the need to assure you that I wouldn't be offended by something so silly. Sometimes you just get bored with a place and feel like …

    Pick PHP if you want to use Wordpress, phpBB, Drupal, and a wealth of other great open-source web apps. P.S. Final post; great community here!

    Yes, incendiary unsourced quotes and all. Karen Hughes, one of his closest advisers, "rarely read books and distrusted people who did." Who knows where that came from. Gotta love b…

    You're looking at dotfiles.com, but I was referring to dotfiles.org.

    I don't know why people are putting this sort of work on GitHub instead of dotfiles. GitHub takes a while to load, and there are two wasted clicks here (the file in question, then …

    Yep. See, we were overrun by the PC nuts in the 80s, but there are good parts. In the case of "waitress," I agree with them that the elaboration is unnecessary and pointless. So I …

    I think that the "ess" should only be added when sexual distinction is being communicated as well. Off the top of my head, I can only think of it coming up for very feminine nouns,…

    A word doesn't become proper by virtue of merely being defined... For what it's worth, my comment was on a PC bent. Nowadays, "waitress," "stewardess," etc. are frowned upon, and y…
