Catching up on the world

May 28, 2008 · 1 min read

The last few weeks have been pretty full, but I'm finally starting to catch up -- inbox not zero, but getting there. Google Reader down to a merely terrifying few thousand articles. Bills paid, letters written, chickens roasted. Anyway. [Mathie](http://woss.name/) is [interested in my command history](http://woss.name/2008/04/17/history-meme/). Here it is. My iMac, where I do the development for things like my [Ruby Jabber thingy](/2008/05/28/xmpp4r-simple-makes-xmpp-in-ruby-uhh-simple): ``` 108 cd 69 ls 46 ssh 31 ruby 28 ./jabber.rb 22 tail 20 svn 19 find 19 dig 18 cap ``` A lot of looking at logs, running Ruby scripts, and deploying applications. The [server](http://code.xeriom.net/) I've most recently been working on: ``` 181 sudo 82 ls 52 tail 39 cd 33 ps 16 cat 13 god 11 top 10 nano 8 nohup ``` Mostly running things as root via `sudo` and staring at logs and processes. Riveting stuff. Those two machines aren't hugely exciting, and unfortunately I can't show my work laptop because that would (a) require me to hunt down my backpack and power up the machine, and (b) produce results that I'm not sure I can share.
