I am very excite to have received my books from O'reilly yesterday. I've got a good 1200 pages or so to rip through, now, and I hope that by the end of it all I'll be able to begin working on Evolution and have some major success with it this time.
This evening I'll be playing with Vi and Python, and trying to get some massive documentation done on my Opus.
I discussed working on something for the video wall regarding the game, and once I have some working code we'll try to get something working across it.
I've been skimming through some of my O'reilly books lately, but I haven't come across much unfamiliar material just yet. I'm going to spend the next 20-30 minutes practicing some new Vi techniques I've read about. I've mostly been overwhelmed with some other things, such as essays and physics, lately - Brianne has helped me rework some of my time management, and I'm hoping that will help with completing more work in less time from now on. =]
This is a sample format for a dated entry. Please substitute the actual date for “Month Day, Year”, and duplicate the level 4 heading to make additional entries.
As an aid, feel free to use the following questions to help you generate content for your entries:
Remember that 4 is just the minimum number of entries. Feel free to have more.

If you wish to aid your definition with a code sample, you can do so by using a wiki code block, an example follows:
/* * Sample code block */ #include <stdio.h> int main() { return(0); }
cp - our copy command will place an identical version of a file in a given directory, with a given name, without destroying the original.
simply:

Most notably: yes | cp
If files with the same name exist in the new directory and there is a decision prompt to overwrite files, it answers yes.
Interesting use of a pipe.
This is very close in nature to copying a file. To move a file, you specifcy the file, and where you want that file to 'go', rather than where you want that file to be 'replicated'. You can specify a new name, but identical directory as the original in order to 'rename' the file.
“mv” is the move command.
mv –help, for more info.
A dangerous command to use without looking into the syntax for it. The command is “rm”, and can be used to wipe just about any amount of files recursively - therefore offering detrimental affects, if run in certain ways as root user.
An alternative to “rm” is “shred”.
shred - This overwrites files in a recurring manner, in order to enhance security, preventing most hardware-oriented file recovery from being able to recover anything that's been removed. This does not remove files, seemingly, but, instead, overwrites only. You can force removal with -u (–remove). This command is then very similar to “rm”, differing only in overwriting.
An interestingly named command for creating files, “touch” can be used to create an empty file of given name and directory. Using touch on a file will update all of the file's information timestamps.
Alternatively, invoking most text editing programs with a file name appended will prompt for the saving of the file to disk on exit. This is a more streamlined way to create files which you know the intended orientation of.
