Hi guys,

This is just a quick tip to launch Sublime Text  from A Cygwin Terminal, most developers need to use the command-line but lets face it vim, vi and nano all suck as editors sublime is nice so lets use that.

1) Edit the bashrc (OK we gonna use a terminal editor jut one)

nano ~/.bashrc

2) Put this at the bottom of the file 

 subl() {

 local cmd="'$(cygpath 'D:\Documents\Sublime Text 2.0.1\sublime_text.exe')'"



 if [[ $@ ]]; then

      cmd=$cmd' "'$(cygpath --windows "$@" | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/" "/g')'"'

 fi

 eval $cmd
}

3) Then re compile bashrc

  source ~/.bashrc

OR

  . ~/.bashrc

I am feed

I am feed is a social news aggregation service, that takes inspiration from the Kings of social and news services such as Reddit, Digg, Slashdot and many others.

I am feed is a service that hopes to mitigate the effect of the eternal September that have effected many social news networks, this will be accomplished by a new innovative voting system that not only counts votes given by user but additionally monitors the interaction of the user between themselves and the story.

With this in mind It is my hope that I am feed will produce a high level of conversation about interesting news articles from around the world. It is also a belief that the methods of monetizing web applications through advertisements is fundamentally broken and I wish to innovate upon this area.
