For some reason I have really turned into a command line junky in the last few years. That’s one of the main reasons I am switching web hosts. There are a couple of cool command line things I found recently that I would like to share with anyone interested:

1. goosh is an online command line interface for google. I just found this today, but I am very interested. I’ll be trying it out and post here if it works out or not.

2. todo.txt is a unix command line based shell script for organizing your tasks. I’ve been using it at work and at home for several months and it works great for me. Developed by Lifehacker’s Gina Trapani, it was recently updated with a couple of cool features.

3. This doesn’t really count, but I got source control religion the other day. I accidentally erased one of my important Lilypond text documents (that’s how I have been writing music since December – more on that in another post), and decided I would install Subversion and keep my Lilypond files in source control. Luckily I was able to reconstruct my lost file from the vi logs.
