The Reluctant Hacker

This is the first of a series of at least two posts about how I've configured the excellent Gnu Screen to fit my needs and make me more productive.

A co-worker sold me on the utility of having a program like Yojimbo. However, I'm too cheap to shell out the $39 for a license, and I prefer to have vi key bindings, and complete keyboard control. I found an excellent post at make-believe.org which describes a system for note-taking using a little bash magic for searching and command line tab completion, and vim for editing. I liked it a lot, but decided to add tagging to the system.

While I was working on a website migration for work, I found myself wanting a way to preserve formatting without keeping really poorly formatted html. (probably made by Word, a lot of blockquotes instead of list tags, etc.)
