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.
Take a look at my
Amazon wish list, if you're curious about what I have planned reading next, and want to surprise me. :)


From the title I was hoping you would answer a question that has bothered me for a long time: how do multiple xterm/rxvt/aterm/whatever histories interact? No one works in a single xterm, so clearly it is relevant. And if you do different things in different xterms, the histories look different. Yet there is only one .bash_history file in a default setup. Can you explain how this works?
