Argleton, the imaginary town in Google maps.

Here is a website with some /really/ nice vim plugins! Very worthwhile.

in PHP, "2"+2=4, and "2pinkponies"+2=4, but "i2"+2=2.

Implicit type conversion like this can could make for some interesting bugs, to say the least.

DoxyGenToolkit is a Vim plugin for C, C++, Python, and PHP which helps you conveniently create DoxyGen compatible documentation.

To use it just go to the line where a function is defined and execute :Dox, and it will automatically create the stub for you with @param s.

In Windows 7 64-bit edition (x64), I installed the 64-bit version of Python 2.6. After installation, I had a lot of problems with trying to install packages via .exe installers.

I narrowed the problem down to the installers not looking in the "right" place for the Python installdir (or rather, not being able to find the Python 2.6 installation directory) from the registry. I concocted a simple .reg file to fix this:

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python]
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore]
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6]
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Help]
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Help\Main Python Documentation]
 @="C:\\Python26\\Doc\\python265.chm"
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath]
 @="C:\\Python26\\"
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath\InstallGroup]
 @="Python 2.6"
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Modules]
 
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\PythonPath]
 @="C:\\Python26\\Lib;C:\\Python26\\DLLs;C:\\Python26\\Lib\\lib-tk"

After applying this .reg fix, things are working fine.

This looks like a promising LCD calibration resource.
