Indecisiveness
2008-07-03 13:51:45
Lately, I've been suffering from a serious case of indecisiveness when it comes to the software I use and I've been wondering if other people go through this as well.

I have 18 color schemes for Vim that I like. Or did like. I will work fine with one for a while and then I just have to change it. I wrote a Python script to upload my vimrc because I change fonts and colors so frequently and I wanted to keep my home comp up-to-date.

At least I don't change editors anymore. Although the thought had crossed my mind recently because I've been using Visual Web Developer and switching between that and Vim gets me confused. But it used to be Vim, to jed, to emacs, to vim/cream, to jEdit, to Programmer's notepad, to notepad++, to vim, etc. I don't remember the exact order, but it was something ridiculous. I heart Vim too much to let go now.

I look at least once every other week for a new Opera theme. At one point last year, I was downloading a ton of themes for Windows XP and just ended up going with the classic look again. I don't have as much optimism in the FireFox and Thunderbird themes, so I don't check those nearly as often.

Is this part of a deeper psychological problem, or do other people go through this?

I'm probably the opposite. I don't think I've changed my Windows XP theme in over 2 years, and I've never changed the theme on FireFox or Opera.

At work I'm one of the few people who use the default wall paper on their PC. I should probably change it up a bit, but it's just one of those things I don't pay much attention to.
