Nobody can resist the force of a Silly Internet Meme. “Mom, Mark made me do it.”

how pix get to tbray.org. “lh” is an alias for
ls -lt $@ | head -10. “ossh” gets me to tbray.org. “ong”
updates this blog. Of course, this doesn’t reflect the always-on Emacs and
NetBeans, where most of the real work happens.
I ain’t tagging anyone.

cvsrm is an alias for "rm $1 && cvs rm $1", rssh for "killall -HUP ssh", SVN manages not to appear because I interact with it entirely from Xcode or TextMate.

Can someone explain to us civilians what ls -lt $@ | head -10 does?
It seems to list up a bunch of server logs on our server, and a bunch of directories on my Mac.

Mark, that "lh" incantation lists the files that are most recently updated. Without arguments, in the current directory. If you say
"lh *.java"
You get the most recently updated *.java files.

I couldn't resist replacing the awk with something I think easier on the fingers, eyes, and brain. And incidentally, more distributable.
tasks is 840 some lines of home grown and still evolving shell/gnuplot/graphviz/html that manages my GTD stuff. mail-filter and helpers are 500 lines of shell script atop crm114 (bayesianish filtering). And yep, I use nmh for mail.
