  1. I’ve made a definite switch to emacs, but vim is still handy for the quick view of a file, and I start emacs in the morning via an icon, and it stays up all day - otherwise, it would be way up on the list.
  2. timeclock.rb is a handly little script to parse/format an emacs timelog file - incredibly nice way to track time on various tasks.
  3. fr is an alias for: find . -regextype posix-extended -regex ‘\”.*.r(b|html)’\” | xargs grep

Tag. You’re it :)
