If I was to sum up the day I would
say the main skill I practiced wasn't compiling
or writing code. It was using tools like cscope
and ctags in the vim environment in an effort to
learn a quick system for code browsing.

And that is the name of the game my good
fellows. That's right I spent a solid portion of
the day staring at rainbowy colors on a black
background while trying to memorize how to move
around text files with the H J K and L keys.

The strange part about the whole matter is that it's
a 'text editor' where you only use...text to move about
and edit with. I have to admit that at first I was
stumbling about but towards the end of
the night I had a good rhythm. (And I was quickly learning
how to hit the bracket key with my right pinky)
