i learned about two potentially nifty mac os x tools today: pbcopy & pbpaste. these allow you to copy & paste between the command line and the gui. *waits for gasps of amazement* so what, you ask?
ls -1 | pbcopy
or maybe
cat ~/Documents/test/* | pbcopy
or maybe
pbpaste >> testtext
or
pbpaste | wc
or even
cal | pbcopy
and i'm not even a programmer! i'll bet there's all sorts of cool stuff you could do if you were! of course, you can also copy/paste between prompts this way, too.
i also found my reeses peanut butter cup of websites: the google blog!
