gVim Easy

gvim: An editor that can handle huge files it is very powerful and I use it for proyect notes and other things, you can program with is as it is has syntax coloured features (See figure).



I use gVim when my fingers are tired of Emacs (you need pianist fingers to use Emacs lol)it is also a good substitute of Notepad as it is coloured, much more performant and pleasant to use.

You can donwload it from: http://www.vim.org/download.php

To customize this editor you need to edit the _vimrc file


Samples

To change font style:
set guifont=Courier_New:h10

Change color scheme:
colors elflord

Set return on word (word wouldn't be cutted on line return):
set lbr


The list of colors schemes is under the \vim72\colors folder

Customize color scheme

I've created my own customized file from the elflord.vim scheme to elflordcustomized.vim here is what it looks like:

" local syntax file - set colors on a per-machine basis:
" vim: tw=0 ts=4 sw=4
" Vim color file

Then I created a batch file to open by default txt files with gvim in Easy Mode, I've called the file EasyVim.bat

rem EASY VIM BATCH
"C:\Program Files\Vim\vim72\gvim.exe" -y

Repair Dolce Gusto Circolo Leaking Problem

Image
My Dolce Gusto coffee machine started leaking without even plugin in to the socket. Water was leaking at the base, the tank would get completely empty in a few seconds, so I dismounted the back cover to see. Use a Torx tool.  Fisrt start removing the two screws down besides the reservoir connector. Down there you see the join inside the water connector. That small rubber joint was apparently in a good shape but the problem really came from it. I took the small water filter and descaled it by diping it in white vinegar for a few minutes. Then I took a rubber tap joint from my tool box and put it on top of the rubber joint as you see it in the circle. Then I mounted all back again and it works! The joint was just too used, and you can replace it with a tap rubber joint, just find the right size. Descale the coffe machine This is always a good thing to do every two or three months to keep the inside clean. I descaled completely by filling the water tank with a mix...

After rooting everything flows and works fine, even browsing with Opera Mini.

How to Change the Gear Shift Knob of the Peugeot 306

Image
Well, last week the gear shift knob of my car got teared down in my hand as I was driving as you can see it in the picture. It was so really broken that the official knob from Peugeot would not fit anymore. The good thing about it is that now I can replace it by a nice one. But it was a real pain to figure out how to dismount it, the main thing is to lift up the leather bag around it first, from the bottom and then turn the knob twice to the left and then pull from it till it comes off . As you can see the white base support was broken too, so I had to dismount the whole thing and look for an universal knob to replace it. Well here is the gear shift itself all alone, I had to stick around it a piece of plastic and then tighten it up with a wire (I did this with my pliers to hold it tight), so that the leather bag will not move down later. Here is the new knob, it has a nice fairy on it, well, I know you are smiling :) but it was the only one in the store one that fitted...
