Tips & Tricks:
Hello all,
First time listener, I caught your most recent podcast regarding, and heard you mentioning little useful terminal command. Ctrl+L is an interesting one I’ve never heard before. Much like the others, I don’t see myself needing to hide my terminal lol, but my haste tends to cause me to typo ‘clear’ so that’s useful.
You also mentioned Ctrl+U and I actually use that a lot, but mostly with Ctrl+Y which returns the previous line that disappeared with Ctrl+U.
This can be useful for, if example, you’re about to run a series of commands on a target directory, and already wrote out the command. Instead of typing the absolute path each time, you can Ctrl+U after you’ve already typed out the command, change to target directory, and then press Ctrl+Y to return the typed out command.
It’s a small thing, but there are plenty of times where this allows you to complete a missed step without having to clear what you wrote.
I enjoy your podcast, and will probably keep listening!

Whaaaaat?!? A Kawasaki Ninja!!! We demand PICS!!!
@dasgeek or @MichaelTunnell: Is there any reason why all of the people’s names started with the letter “S”?
The best part about the Ninja is it’s sitting position is 1/2 touring 1/2 sport so you can do something called “active riding”.
I kinda miss my Ninja. It was a yellow 250 and it made me smile every time I looked at it. Spent about $20 on gas every week to get back and fourth to work 80 miles (round trip) 5 days a week.
Yes, because Ryan had already done 3 of the 5 that way and I felt like going all out on the alliteration.
I will try to find one . . . I think I only have one pic left of the time I had it. I wasnt much of a photo person back then and I wish I was.
Ok I am impressed with this trolling! lol This has truth about the ride and also uses it to mock the stool . . .well done sir! lol
I loved the 250 model of the Ninja because it was so flexible and took corners so awesome! I had a black 250 back in the day. I think now the 300 or 350 would be perfect because the 250 was just slightly underpowered at times but now with slightly more power combined with still being flexible. . …man that sounds awesome!
