I am using your single-window script and it is a lifesaver! Now I control-click some 50 profiles in rapid sequence, each in its own tab. And then I can rapidly skim the paragraphs and decide whom to email. Much less click-scroll-click-scroll.

Thank you!

Over 3 years later and you're still getting comments on this! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I made it tonight and enjoyed it.

I did use a full tsp of turmeric and a tsp of paprika and a tsp of salt (with ~1/8 tsp cayenne for a quite mild curry). Didn't have canned crushed tomatoes so I used tomato paste (maybe 3/4 of a small can) which worked just fine (but obviously it needed extra liquid). Then I simmered 3 smallish potatoes (diced) for around half an hour in the curry and added in a can of chickpeas. It made around 4 good sized servings (but ymmv).

For anyone interested, I ate it with a nice spiced rice I've been making lately: 1 cup brown basmati rice, 2 cups water (or whatever your rice recommends), 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp crushed red pepper, 1 tsp salt. Cook per rice instructions then mix in 1 cup frozen peas and cover (the peas thaw and cook up pretty quickly in the leftover heat of the rice). Not fancy, but tasty and very easy to remember the recipe. Also makes around 4 servings.

Here is an alternative (will find files within subdirectories containing the value that you provide):

find . -name *.extension -exec grep -i -H -n 'texttofind' {} \;

Enjoy!

Yeah, I ran this but I'm not on any one machine long enough to build a good enough history. If I had to WAG it, I'd say 'cd', 'ls', and 'vi' would be the most popular.

I lived in that building for years and knew her from working the desk. Very nice person. She rented 3 apartments in that building and used most of all 3 as library space. She lugged home 2 large bags of stuff from the Pentagon everyday wherefrom she commuted on foot each day.

The only programming language implied by the above is Ruby, which -- unless you've been living in a cave -- isn't exactly unheard of these days.

Found this site randomly on google- have to say, you specialize in some weird programming languages. Most programmers I know may code primarily in, for example, C, but he will also code in like Delphi or something. For you, it's all the less thought about, pass them off languages. They seem to work out great for you though.
