Until then, grab a cup of coffee and get caught up on old episodes in the archive.

Season Finale!

Listener feedback-a-plenty, including the tree command, some new bash tips and functions, turn your emacs into a typewriter, get a git-sensitive bash prompt, a new grep trick, commentary on Calligra, a bit about the date command. Also, a beautiful sparkly new game on Linux called Nikki and the Robots! Also, the show has an atom feed now, having received a lot of formatting help and bug testing assistance from listener Thomas Loo.

The revised grep tip, thanks to a few listeners for submitting this:

$ grep -C2 foo penguins.txt

Cor's emacs typewriter trick:

:: Play typing sound
(defun play-typewriter-sound ()
  (start-process-shell-command "typewriter" nil "mplayer ~/9744__horn__typewriter.wav")
  )
(add-hook 'post-self-insert-hook 'play-typewriter-sound)

:: Play bell when cursor is at column 80
(defun play-typewriter-end ()
  (if (eq (current-column) 80)
    (start-process-shell-command "typewriter" nil "mplayer ~/eol-bell.wav")
    )
  )
(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'play-typewriter-end)

:: Return sound
(defun play-typewriter-return ()
  (if (eq this-command 'newline)
    (start-process-shell-command "typewriter" nil "mplayer ~/carriage-return.wav")
    )
  )
(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'play-typewriter-return)

And a bunch of cool bash functions from Sergio, with some corrections to my transcription thanks to Dave Morriss:

function tree() {
  find "${1:-.}" -type d -print | sed -e 's:[ ]*/:|____:g;s:____|: |:g'
}

function sshpull() {
  if [ $# != 3 ]; then
    echo "Usage: sshpull user@host remotefile localfile"
    return 1
fi
ssh "$1" cat "$2" > "$3"
}

function sshpush() {
  if [ $# != 3 ]; then
    echo "Usage: sshpush user@host localfile remotefile"
    return 1
fi
cat "$2" | ssh "$1" cat ">" "$3"
}

function psgrep() {
  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: psgrep text"
  return 1
fi

search="$( echo "$@" | sed -r "s/([a-z0-9])/[\1]/i" )"

}
