The Ubiquity of Command Lines
As many of my colleagues know I’m a big fan of the command line. I find it somewhat ironic that I work with information visualizations, and yet I have a penchant for just getting in there with plain old text commands to actually accomplish things. I even prefer command-line statistical analysis packages (or, perhaps more accurately, the command-line interface to statistical packages). It probably comes as little surprise that I really like the new Ubiquity plugin for Firefox. I suspect Quicksilver users will love this. I know I do.
