I originally said that I would do a video on XML debugging (teaching.software-carpentry.org/2013/06/28/screencast-xml-debugging), however the motivating example that I was going to use I was not able to find/remember properly, it was something I did some years ago. So I chose something from my day to day work which is not so much scientific as more business oriented but I hope it illustrates how Vim can help with formatting data on the fly; this which can be useful exploratory work (e.g. making outputs of data from one tool work as inputs into another tool).
The video is at: vimeo.com/70860893 or you can download it.
It took three takes and I think the second take was more professional in terms of speaking with fewer erm’s, it did take longer than I thought; for the 3-4 minutes of video it took about a few hours in total of thinking, planning, reading, researching what to do it on, blind alleys and building oneself up to it — so in some ways it’s embarrassing that I only have this short video to show for that and I feel like re-recording it — but I know we were told not to shine it too much.
Thanks
