  • I’ve seen an ad on German television (yea, yea, I still do watch it) whose whole point was that Saturday should be a [Edit: free day day off], but it’s marred by having to do grocery shopping. The climax of that ad was a woman shouting “Let’s take back our Saturdays” Braveheart style.

    The ad is for a service that has people shopping for you. I wonder when their busiest day will be…

















  • If you’re using a descendant of Debian, you will find a line like this in your ~/.bashrc file:

    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$
    

    The 32m part controls the color of the username. (\u). 1 is red, 2 is green (as seen in the user and host part, \u@\h), 3 (as seen for the directory, \w) is blue.

    You can use this to distinguish different hosts by color.
