Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Unix Utility: Pipe Viewer
I've never heard of Pipe Viewer (aka pv) but this articles says it's A Unix Utility You Should Know About. It's basically cat with an ascii progress bar. It isn't preinstalled on my mac.

ReplyDelete... even too geeky for me.
