A month on the command line, Day 5: I don't have a vi coffee mug

The vi coffee mug -- it's been suggested, but instead I downloaded and printed a couple of reference sheets for vi, the best of which is Donald J. Bindner's single-page Vi Reference Card. The best thing about it is that it keeps everything on one page (and doesn't bleed off the page like the Debian Reference Card.)

I also have Using the VI Editor (here's the PDF version), which is also pretty good but on two pages. I'll have to tape them together, because I need to see EVERYTHING at once.

I probably should get the O'Reilly book on vi, but that would be overkill at this point.

You might ask whether or not I'm coding the HTML by hand in these entries. Yes, I am.

New ways to sign in to comment: I just added the ability for prospective commenters on this blog to sign in using their AOL, Yahoo! and Wordpress.com accounts (for the past 200 posts anyway ... more than that will take an extensive, middle-of-the-night rebuild). That's in addition to the other sign-in choices, which include starting a Movable Type account on this blog, Typekey, OpenID, Live Journal and Vox. If you have trouble getting your Movable Type account verified, or any of the other sign-in options are not working properly, please e-mail me. With these added ways of signing in, there's more reason than ever for you to make a comment (or several!).
