vim : record and play

hmm.. i have been using vim for quite sometime now.. for the past 2 months, I am forced to
work on windows ( :-) very sad) as I moved to a new company.. but and i tried to install cygwin and that seemed to be much unstable.. so as the last resort option, i opted for slickEdit with vi emulation.. and all of a sudden i was thinking hard to recollect how i would be able to do 'record and play' in vi/vim... huh after sometime i realised it, here is how it should be done,

qa [ start recording]
do the blah stuff
q [ stop recording]
@a [ play once]
@22a [ play 22 times]

kool is it... this is the power of vi/vim.. happy vim-ing..

Online Backup

online backup!!! i have been thinking of this for few years.. before 2 years i have tried gMail Drive and found it to be a waste of time affair ( i think its a junk 3rd party utility which is a wrapper around the gmail ) .. unfortunately i didn't hit on any tool which would catch my imagination till now.. its only today that i got to know about `mozy`, a dream utility( i am late to get this utilitiy as i don't really browse around for utilities unless its really bothering me ) .. its offered by EMC ( acquired from Berkeley Data Systems) and only that EMC brand made me to try this software though i was initially hesitant to try it because of security reasons. looks like mozy encrypts the data and so i thought my personal data will be pretty much safe.

here we gooo.. i created an account and installed the software which they provided, and all these things were done in less than 5 mins :-) and i just did backup my firefox bookmarks..

serv-U ftp connection refused after changing IP

I changed the IP of my system from A to B due to some network reconfiguration. And all of a sudden serv-U-ftp server stoped working.
I thought logically a restart of the ftp server should make things ok.
But it didn't . When I was digging through the startup logs and init files,
I found it was trying to bind to the old IP A.

I had to change that in "Program Files/serv-U/servudaemon.ini" file and it worked fine.
