Who am I?

Hi, I’m Graeme and these are my notes, from my messy desk. I started this blog because Google proved to be more useful at finding content than anything else I’ve used.

So I started adding my own content in the hopes that Google would index it and allow me to find things again in the future.

It works.

You can find out more about me here, and you should follow me on Twitter here.

Keeping up

You can automatically receive new content here by subscribing to the “Blog RSS” (link below). This is the easiest way to keep up with what I write here.  See this BBC article for a good introduction on RSS and keeping up with the goings on of the Internet more easily.

History meme

I see from [Mark](http://diveintomark.org/archives/2008/04/15/history-meme)
and [Tim](http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2008/04/15/History-Meme)
there's this history meme floating around. So, let's see:

mathie@tullibardine:~$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s \n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
636 git
63 cd
55 ls
42 rake
27 mate
19 script/console
16 port
16 cap
11 script/server
7 sudo

Geez, that's a lot of git! Come to think of it, since I keep 1,000 lines of
history, that means nearly 64% of my command line activity recently has
involved git! So the posts here are reflecting reality. :-)

Oh, and I tag [Mark](http://www.sirena.org.uk/log/) and
[Craig](http://barkingiguana.com/).
