Switching to vim
Though you wouldn’t know it from the blog, I’ve been typing a lot lately. I generally type longer texts on a flavor of emacs (usually, it’s been the excellent Aquamacs on my macbook pro). Now, though, I find that my wrists are hurting, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence. So, I’m [...]

phpBB3 Hide Links from Guests
Ok, I figured out how to hide url links from guests in phpBB3. You can redirect those links to wherever you want (like a registration page, or whatever). Go to includes/bbcode.php, and find the function bbcode_tpl_replace. Toward the top add a new static array:

Platforms All Running Well on 64-bit Vista
I thought I’d post a screenshot of my charts this morning (click to enlarge):
Ninjatrader seems to be running on 64-bit Vista with no issues. Today I connected to my Zen-Fire account, and placed some trades with no problems (other than the “ORDER PENDING” voice, which startled me because I had forgotten to turn it [...]

New Machine Changeover Day
It’s been an interesting day. I thought I might as well journal it.
RIP, Mac
