I started playing Go recently and I wanted a decent Windows program to use. A friend of mine showed me iGoWin. I noticed after I downloaded it that the installer was pretty basic. It was written in 1997-98 and uses the outdated .hlp help file format. While still quite useable in Windows 7 64-bit, it was clear that the installer and help files needed some TLC.

To that end I have recompiled the help files in .chm format and included links to them with a full-fledged installer (created using NSIS). The original author (David Fotland) would have to recompile the program to include links to the updated chm files.

iGoWin is a free version of “The Many Faces of Go”. If you like using it, please consider buying the full version. I’ve included a link to David’s retail product page below.

He suggested that it was really laughing internally loudly, so I suggested LiL. I then told him that when I do so, I am laughing uproariously in the machine world.

Jeff then coined this term: LUITMW. Go forth and copy Interwebs!

Since many health efforts are rooted in fear of H1N1, I’m saying that Google is the new H1N1 plan. Substitute H1N1 for health in this Dilbert comic: http://dilbert.com/2007-02-18.

It seems quite appropriate.

Basically it would provide a source code cloud built from files and their dependencies. Each cloud would be a logical block (function, if-statement, loop, etc.) and the user would be able to zoom in/out to any level as needed. You would then work on an application as a whole rather than on a set of files. Everything would still be saved out to standard files, but the entire application would be accessible in a visual manner that wouldn’t require lots of commands to open and close said files.

Basically I want to be able to quickly move between parts of a project using the Mac OS X Expose feature, but without subjecting myself to Mac OS X. I also want seamless integration with VIM. CloudVIM if you will…

The app would also tie into another idea I had a while back: multi-history versioning for files.  Basically I want to be able to view the state of a file at any given point during my editing session, even if that means branching into multiple edit histories.  Combining these ideas into CloudVIM would allow a developer to easily navigate to any source code at any time within a specified timespan.  Coupled with SVN for storage this would provide a powerful debugging model I think.

We need a good use for 1TB hard disks anyway.
