Talking about dead, i suddenly had the braindead desire to reformat all my actively maintained things (sh,perl,python,C) in the Christian Christmas time. Quite sudden i was looking at the about 30 percent of my laptop screen that i actually use (COLUMNS=191 LINES=55, but that only after libxft-2.3.7 introduced a bug that is still not fixed, it was more more before (i was using Xft.embolden with LiberationMono which i had forgotten, but otherwise with Xft.antialias it looks terrible still .. with that many lines)), and was thinking "widescreen will never disappear again". Thus i dropped my yet always used attitude of 79 columns no matter what, went back to tabulator indentation, and now use 120 columns, without being strict (but max of about 140, as rarely as possible). (Some old legacy sources still use the old style, but anything planned to remain was converted.) If that is not stupid and brain dead, i do not know. Welcome back tabulators (it saved a lot of bytes!), and welcome new widescreen world. I do not regret it. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
