There are perhaps 5% of the population that simply *can't* think. There are another 5% who *can*, and *do*. The remaining 90% *can* think, but *don't*. |

My Amazon Wish List
I love to read science books. They make my day and I get ideas for awesome blog posts, such as Busy Beaver, On Functors, Recursive Regular Expressions and many others.
Take a look at my 
Amazon wish list, if you're curious about what I have planned reading next, and want to surprise me. :)

Nice informative post (like the previous)!
It's good that you not only teach the command, but also explain 'why' it works. Top work.
One thing I have noticed, when using ctrl-x ctrl-e to open the current command in your fav editor (for me vim) after you save, quit and execute that command, my aliases don't work until the second attempt (not sure if that makes sense)
Keep up the good work
