The Hobgoblin of Small Minds

Things I might write about.

Beer, coffee, tea, wine, liquor.

Food, cooking, resturants.

Lifehacks. Computing (unix, tex, magma/sage/pari).

Music.

Health.

Books.

Art. Photography.

Mathematics.

Poker.

Incredibly interesting things that defy categorization (like this).

This doesn’t actually defy categorization, but I think it will be useful to limit what I write about if I want this blog to have any coherence or consistency. Maybe I will simply post once a week with an overload of things I find intensely interesting.

Meta.

Bright eyes, Digital ash.

Mont Blanc

Not a computer hack but still a hack, via anton.

Mont Blanc pens are pretty good, but also pretty pricey. If you modify the Mont Blanc (F) 406 rollerball cartridges, they fit into a pilot G-6 (or G-2) (07) pen.

Wget

Wget. Very useful for downloading things en-masse.

Break it down now!

wget -r -H -l1 -np -nd url

-r recursive
-H I forget
-l1 only follows one link
-nd saves everything in one directory instead of mirroring
-np doesn’t follow parent links
