JB, as a windows user, asked me why hitting Ctrl-s in vim would lock up his terminal. I said that I didn't know, but did a quick google search and found that Ctrl-s is the command character for scroll lock and that Ctrl-q would resume scrolling. After solving his problem, JB proclaimed, No more errant swap files for me! Haha...

In Punch Drunk Love there is this song that was haunting me that had the words “he needs me” over and over. I found out that it's He Needs Me sung by Shelley Duvall on the Popeye soundtrack. Wow. So I spent much of Friday hunting down an mp3 of it.

On Friday, JB was quoting John Goodman in The Big Lebowski:

Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

and Jesse asked What's “ethos” mean? And then somehow we started talking about followers of Ethan Hawke... which degraded into followers of Hudson Hawke?!
