Server Sponsors
I am being sponsored by Syntress since 2007! They bought me an amazing dedicated server to run catonmat on. If you're looking web services in Chicago area, I highly recommend the Syntress guys!

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.

Nice article! I was wondering what the default values are for $HISTIGNORE. This is not defined by default on my system, (Debain Sid), but does ignore a space by default. I was wondering if there are any other characters ignored by default without having to dig through the source. Can't find any documentation.
Thanks!
Rick

It's not defined (empty) by default! That's why it ignored a space.
