That sounds groovy, Bill. I find myself more productive at the CLI for sure (gotta sit down & learn `tmux` some day as the podcasts have been talking it up.. used to use `screen` on pre-graphics boxes, modeming into mainframes..) <br />Your mention of IRC<>Twitter reminds me of something I came upon lately-- an RSS-to-Newsgroup generator, that serves you the feed on their free newsserver. I poked around and am using Pan to browse my podcast feeds now.. all the GUI ones (Firefox addons I was using) are clunky in various was but this way's nice. Get to see a bunch of other stuff people have put there, along with mine too.<br />I've long been meaning to give a talk, but have been too perfectionist as a developer, to the point that I still don't have a 'release' of a re-spin of the distro I use "ready for prime time". Sometime soon hopefully-- could use some paying work first, so's to have operating ca$h..<br /><br />Happy Springtime all,<br /> Mark<br /><br /><br />3.
