Catching up on the world

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 is interested in my command history. Here it is.

My iMac, where I do the development for things like my Ruby Jabber thingy:

  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 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.
