  1. 2:48 Why is your personal scripts folder hidden (having a name beginning with a dot)?

  2. 0:56 Just a note that bashrc is only automatically invoked by non-login shells, so it’s either-or: either the new shell will run the profile, or the rc, not both. I find this annoying, so the best thing perhaps is to have the profile do little or nothing apart from automatically sourcing the rc, so you get the same definitions available either way.

  3. 5:44 Emacs is able to use those keys without your having to disable their special tty meaning. I think it uses something called “raw” mode. Perhaps the vi developers should learn about this?

  4. 6:08 zsh is the default shell in SystemRescueCD, and I discovered that it has one irritating habit: stripping off the trailing ”/” from a directory name after you have typed it. This causes problems when trying to do an rsync, since the behaviour is slightly different depending on whether the source directory ends with a “/” or not.
