December 3rd, 2003: So I haven't updated this sucker in quite a while. I guess I've been busy trying to keep my sanity, but I've not done a very good job at that even. Classes are finishing up, and only the finals remain after friday. It's almost frightening how quickly things have gone by. I feel like a lot has happened, but that I haven't grown as much as I should have.
I'm still learning UNIX slowly, picking up commands here and there, and as that was the entire purpose of this website, I will leave my commands up. I may some day actually update them as well.
so here is a list of fun commands that you might enjoy if you ever have to do a Unix box.
Ctrl-g stop! don't do anything
C-x C-s Save(in emacs anyway)
C-k - Kill ( or remove the entire line)
cp - Copy in uNix
rm - remove
. - current directory (or folder for us windows box people)
cd - change directory (see above)
pwd- shows you where you are
bg- puts the terminal in the background (kind of helpful)
C-d - delete (one character at a time) C-w - deletes a selected area of text (use the mouse)
carrot capital p carrot - this is a new line with space between them
C-z Gets the prompt back in the unix terminal
