Bill Garrett‘s “Sorcery: The Myth of the Command Line” is one of the best articles I can point to as to why I find myself going back to the CLI in any OS I’m running, when I truly need to get work done.
I’ve been on a self- and technology-imposed hiatus from the Linux world for a little over a year now, because I found that I was spending too much time tinkering with my Debian installation rather than doing something productive.
One thing I really hate is running out of hot water when I shower. This topic came up in discussion a few weeks ago with Rod and ubergenius Alan Booker, and Alan suggested I look into inline water heaters. The idea behind inline water heaters is that since you only use hot water at a few places, there is no need to have a huge tank heating water all the time. With an inline heater, you add multiple units where they are needed (kitchen and bathroom), and they turn on when you turn on the faucet. The best part: this means you get unlimited hot water (or until your electricity runs out).

Humanclick is just too cool! With it, you can chat with me through the site, if I’m online. Neat, huh?

Rest easy, my Minions. There is absolutely no evidence linking us to the army of monkeys invading New Delhi.
However, you can all consider Project “Hooting Ghandi” to be a screeching success.
Second rule of Project “Hooting Ghandi”:
you do not talk about the monkeys!
My assessment of this whole “IT/Ginger” media hoopla is thus:
Kamen has a history of inventing great things that should exist and don’t, not because some thinktank decided that they should be invented, but because they really should exist. Based on everything I’ve read so far (twenty webpages or so), my guess is that Kamen’s come up with a cheap, fuel-efficient, non-polluting, self-stabilizing personal walker.
