Shamelessness
Alright… I’ve had a lot of traffic lately and a lot of people emailing me (something’s occurred on the inter-web recently that’s picked up the interest in these videos beyond the usual 1k views per week… I don’t know what it was). This has sparked my interest in making more videos so that’s what I’m going to try and do.
But, in the last few months, I’ve also had a number of people asking me where they can send me a virtual beer, and I’ve had no place to do that. I never really cared, but hey… if a few bucks can offset my website costs every year then what the hell?
So, if you feel like making a donation of a few bucks, feel free to do so, and if you don’t, feel free to not do so :) Whatever you do, keep using Vim, and if you feel like making a donation to the Vim project instead, please do.

Hi,
Jeffrey Way at Nettuts+ was very complimentary about your screencasts – I reckon it might be because of that:

Thanks for sharing this. Vim has been added to my rapidly growing list of ‘things I really need to learn’!

Yep from Nettuts+, that’s how I started watching the series. Fantastic keep it up.

Also Dan Benjamin mentioned the Nettuts article on The Dev Show #26, which is how I found your screencasts.

Derek: I’d like to think my recent StackOverflow Q (~ 200 views: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3435325/feeds-and-podcasts-for-the-vim-text-editor), as well as my Reddit post in which you are also mentioned (http://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/d0qvo/feeds_and_podcasts_for_the_vim_text_editor/) has generated you some hits. However, I think a possibly larger source of recent vim interest is prominent Rubyist, Yehuda Katz’z blog (http://yehudakatz.com/2010/07/29/everyone-who-tried-to-convince-me-to-use-vim-was-wrong/).
Anyway, I absolutely love your screencasts, and I’m really pleased that you made us some more!

I really liked Yehuda Katz’s blog entry; that was a good tale.
Thanks for the mentions…. It’s always great to see people picking up Vim – I don’t really look around much for this sorta stuff, so thanks for the update :)

Oh hey! I found you via the archlinux website, They have a link to your tut’s on the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vim) – Thanks! You’ve migrated me away from Bluefish (which is still awesome) to Vim (which is even better!) :)
Thanks for the vids, they’re amusing and very educational to say the least! You should be teaching!
