Be CLIMagic for a day

Have you ever wanted to share cool commands with thousands of other people? Now is your chance. Often I will retweet/redent good posts that people send to me, but this will be a chance to prepare 4 to 6 posts and "own the day". Here is what you need to do if you are interested. Even if you've done a guest week in the past, you're welcome to participate again, just try sending in different commands this time.

Instructions

  1. Come up with 4 to 6 command line commands or tips that can be posted and described in 140 characters or less. Ideally, it should be something that you actually use day to day or found useful for yourself in a real situation. Real world examples are the essence of CLIMagic.
  2. Make sure you give me your twitter or identi.ca ID so that I can properly give you attribution. Feel free to introduce yourself and maybe give a quick profile.
  3. Send the commands and tips one per line in an e-mail to guestposts@climagic.org. Please put "Guest post submission" in the subject.
  4. Please let me know what shell and OS you are using so that I know whether its something specific to your setup.
  5. On your day, the poster will start out with posting explaining who you are and that that day's posts are by you. Then it will post them in the order you give them randomly through the day.
  6. Note that I may make corrections to your commands or posts and edit them if necessary. I'll send them back to you with these edits before posting them though.
  7. Your posts are released under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike licensing like all other climagic posts.
  8. Don't worry if you command is a duplicate from before, I'll figure out what to do with it or change it a bit.

Guidelines for posts

Example e-mail

here is an example of the kind of e-mail that I'm looking for.

To: guestposts@climagic.org
Subject: climagic guest post submission from bobbriggs12

Hi, my name is Bob and my twitter username is bobbriggs12.
I'm a Linux user who uses bash as my shell. Although I don't
use the shell as my job as a jack hammer repairman, I like
to dabble with commands at home, especially when taking pictures
of my cat.

1. command 1 goes here # description goes here.
2. command 2 goes here # description goes here.
3. command 3 goes here # description goes here.
4. command 4 goes here # description goes here.
5. command 5 goes here # description goes here.
6. command 6 goes here # description goes here.
etc.

I'm trying to line enough people up to have 1 or 2 weeks of guest posts in mid July 2015.

Thanks,
