Dark Room for Windows, a text editor like WriteRoom for Mac
By Vasudev Ram
Dark Room is a text editor for Windows that is like the text editor called WriteRoom for Mac computers.
I had come across either one of them a while ago, and saw Dark Room today. Trying it out.
Here is a screenshot of a test file I am editing with Dark Room:
Though I'm editing the file without the editor menu showing, you can use the menu option keys, and you can also toggle the display of the menu by pressing the Escape key repeatedly.
One of the main advantages of both is what they call a "distraction-free writing environment", There are very few or no controls on the sides or top or bottom of the writing area, which makes for less distractions. Also, Dark Room has a default of green text on a black background, which is like the old fashioned Unix dumb terminals or IBM mainframe terminals. It can be a good color combination for both writing and reading (YMMV, of course).

Clink adds bash-like features to Windows' cmd.exe
An interesting feature is that you can add Clink support to an already running cmd instance with its inject option.

Vim's 20th anniversary
By Vasudev Ram
Nice one about the vim text editor, seen on Ars Technica:
Two decades of productivity: Vim's 20th anniversary
If you are a beginner to vim, you may find this vi quickstart tutorial useful:
A vi quickstart tutorial
I wrote it some time ago for Linux For You magazine.
(vi is the predecessor to vim, but all the tutorial content applies equally to vim). Actually, I first wrote it for some colleagues of mine who were coming from Windows to Unix, and later thought of publishing it, because they told me that it helped them to come up to speed on the basics of vi in a short time.
Enjoy.
