I am now at home after a day out. Rather than spend today and tomorrow at meetings for a half a day each I mananged to spend up until now at both meetings working on various things. A better use of resources all around realistically… Tomorrow is now free rather than being tied up with other things… So an uninterrupted day of work.

Going over to north ryde this morning I saw a woman in the right hand lane on the M2 at Windsor Rd going slightly slower than the traffic in the left side… So after a little whils I overtook her, and she looked like she was talking to someone – probably on the cellphone. She was actually doing about 15km/h under the limit and there were no cars in front of her. When I had passed her I looked back and I actually saw a book of some type on her steering wheel. I could not work out if she was reading from it or writing in it… In any case it was rather dangerous.

Earlier I mentioned the up with Unix Commands… Here are their uses…
gawk – pattern scanning and processing language
grep – print lines matching a pattern
unzip – extract compressed files in a ZIP archive
touch – change file timestamps
finger – displays information about users
mount – mount a file system
fsck – check and repair a file system
gasp – Obscure text to graphics converter
yes – output a string repeatedly until killed
umount – unmount file systems
sleep – delay for a specified amount of time

With the exception of gsap, these are all standard UNIX commads available on most LINUX and UNIX machines.
