Pro vim development environment 2: mid-level tricks and tips
Pro "haxxors" and coders can live without a full-blown IDE and usually prefer a good editor, a good terminal, a good operating system, scripts and habits.
The second part of the vim devenv story. Read on, more heavy, but still mid level stuff is presented here. I am presenting this not from a purely "vim" viewpoint, but from a "what comes up handy when programmng" viewpoint!

Pro vim development environment 1: basics and motivation
Pro "haxxors" and coders can live without a full-blown IDE and usually prefer a good editor, a good terminal, a good operating system, scripts and habits.
One such good editor is vim and I thought why not blog down some tips&tricks?
Aside of writing down some neat tricks I wrote and wrote and wrote and my text became a spaghetti whose half is for vim-novices and other half is for mid level and "at least casual" vim users so I thought I seperate these two into their own blog posts or maybe later who knows add more and more parts to this little "vim dev env series".

The one-and-true productivity recipe
There are a lot of books, blogs, courses on productivity and procrastination, but most of them are complete bullshit that never helps. Take this advice from me and I am quite sure if you can only follow this it will surely help!
Th3 pr0 R3C1P3 F0R G3TT1N Th1ngs D0n3:
Go and do work instead of reading stuff on productivity. Whenever you feel you wanna read, do work immediately!
You do not need planning when you already have at least 5 things planned out. You need doing then much more!
It is simple: Real direct work is best, meaningful activities are second best, wasting time with bullshit is least favorable. Develop HABITS for the former, not plans, not magical stuff but HABITS.
and finally: go and work or do something meaningful right now! I am out for running now. ;-)
These are the four golden rules rules of productivity. Everything else is mostly bullshit. Trust me if you need to read hudred pages on the topic you are doomed and that will not help but make it worse!

Awsome linux tools I: Screen capture and stuff
When the idea of screen capture comes to our mind many usually think about the youtube-streaming stars and heavy-weight professional applications running on some then-hyped apple device or high-end PC computers.
If you are recording CGI or gaming videos maybe these are necessary anyways, but there are more hacker-friendly, lightweight ways - and on linux. :-)
