VIM and C++
Since I started programming using Qt, C++ is the main language in my day-by-day work. Some of my co-workers recently moved from VIM to QtCreator alleging the code auto-completion (some may call this feature “intellisense”, if they are familiar to MS Visual Studio) in QtCreator is a killer feature.
VIM extension Omni Completion can handle nicely the task when programming using C, but I’m not used to such “technology”: ctags + glancing headers files sounds fine to me, until now, when Qt and it’s classes with tons of attributes and methods came to my life. Today I was trying to remember a method name of a QSomething class and I had the brilliant idea to use VIM auto-completion. So disappointing, I just figured out that there is no native C++ support in Omni Completion.
The Oracle told me about a OmniCppComplete add-on. It took me just few minutes to install and see how cool the plugin is. The automatic “suggestions pop-up” is annoying, but happily you can disable and use on-demand with the old and good ^X^O.
Of course there is nothing new here (first OmniCpp version dates from 2006), but you may be like me and be a bit afraid of waste time testing new VIM add-ons, because most of then are crappy hacks. Only few deserves the honor to be in my .vimrc. So, this is all about encouraging VIM users to give OmniCpp a try and be more effective.

Widescreen x Fullscreen
I remember a long time ago, a friend of mine called Ademar arguing in favor of widescreen video playback. He sent to me a lot of links with irrefutable proofs of widescreen superiority. After this I became a widescreen-fanboy as well.
When I was a SKY (a Brazilian company of cable TV) subscriber, I was used to watch Lost in AXN channel, but when I saw some episodes previews in the Internet, I just figured out that AXN/Sky transmission of Lost is fullscreen. My TV was doing zoom in the image, so it always looked to me like a 16:9 transmission (shame on me, at this time I didn’t care about image quality and TV setup like nowadays).
Now and after I must wait to buy a whole Lost season in stores. Here are some pictures of how the same Lost footage looks in my TV from AXN Brazil (fullscreen) and CTV Canada (widescreen) broadcast.
