Is this supposed to tell you something about me? :)
(To stave off the questions before they come: “gifsicle” is a wonderful tool to create animated images; “r2e” is a program to deliver RSS as email, and scores highly because I ran it a lot when I was first getting it installed; it will drop over time since it’s now run from a cronjob; “ag” is a time and job tracking system of my own and nobody else has it. Yes, of course it’s pronounced “silver”.)
It amuses me that apparently a large number of GNOME hackers use vi. I’m also interested that I’m the first person to use “fg” a lot. Do you others use “%” to resume, or do you never background processes?
