barfoomoo··on Flotr2 : a library for drawing HTML5 charts and graphs
Is there any charting library which supports fetching data from server as the chart is horizontally scrolled? I want to chart some historical data that spans over years.

Thanks for chipping in. I am leaning towards the Coursera one after reading your comment.

I am in a fix after seeing Coursera's list of classes as to whether to take the automata class or the compiler one? Any opinions on this? I have not done both at university level as I am a self taught programmer.

Any opinion on Udacity's compiler classes versus Coursera's? There is a gap of one week between them, so we can try both and choose the one that suits us, but still, any gut feel?

Not an RoR user but wasn't Engine Yard there before Heroku? I am assuming Engine Yard and Heroku offer something similar. I might be wrong.
barfoomoo··on Happy Holidays from the App Engine team - 1.4.0 SDK released
I was using it initially to do some scraping and it used to fail. But now I guess it can be done using the task api.

If I remember correctly they had a cap of 30 seconds even for processing requests. Has this cap also been removed or it is only the cap on the task api that has been removed?
barfoomoo··on Swastikas and context
I guess he is more concerned with the way Swastika is interpreted in the western world. It is sort of synonymous with white supremacist groups. And the contrarian mentality that he explains is very apparent in reddit. In reddit, I see people just jump on anything that has to do with US/White/Christianity/Israel but go to extreme hilarious lengths to defend obviously radical practices/ideas associated with other cultures.

Ps:I am from India and I very well know the religious significance of Swastika.

I am complete newbie when it comes to running a server but have a bit of experience using Ubuntu in my local box. Is ubuntu a good choice? Since most use a flavor of Red Hat like CentOS I am a bit hesitant to use Ubuntu in production.

barfoomoo··on Coming Home to Vim
A bit off the topic but a couple of doubts regarding pathogen. I installed pathogen and am a bit confused regarding the organisation of the plugins within pathogen. Say I have plugin called foo.vim, inside the bundles folder do I directly drop it or do I create a folder called foo and then drop foo.vim within it? Also say a plugin has syntax files and an ftplugin folder then do I just drop the plugin in pathogen and it is supposed to work? Is there any good doc out there explaining how to configure with pathogen?

barfoomoo··on Everyone Who Tried to Convince Me to Use Vim Was Wrong
Thanks for that suggestion. Any idea why Vim behaves like this? Say I visually select something and yank it and then go on pressing p it pastes the yanked text any no of times. But, if I select a text and then try to replace it with the yanked text, I can do it only once. The next time, the yanked text seems to be removed from the register. Why this difference in behavior?
barfoomoo··on Everyone Who Tried to Convince Me to Use Vim Was Wrong
A question for the Vim experts. How do I do the below in Vim? I yank a text and then visually select another text and copy the yanked text over the selected text. Once I do this, if I try to visually select another text and copy the previously yanked text over it, it does not work. How does one do this with Vim?
