Command-line-fu
Man lernt ja immer wieder was neues:
$ sudo !!
Useful when you forget to use sudo for a command. “!!” grabs the last run command.

Search And Replace
Bash Skript von AskApache zum Suchen und Ersetzen in einem Folder - ok das geht auch mit TextMate oder BBedit, aber die Kommandozeile ist ja auch was feines;-)
This bash shell script searches in a directory you specify for any files containing a string and replaces that string with another string. It’s nice because it asks you if you would like to be prompted for each operation, or to run without user-input.
gpg4usb
Nix für den Mac, aber trotzdem interessant:
To say it straight in only one sentence: gpg4usb is a very easy to use portable-application, which combines a simple text-editor with a GnuPG-frontend to write, encrypt and decrypt your text-messages. Gpg4usb should work on almost any computer you’re working on, should it be a Linux-machine or even one with a Microsoft-OS running.
Almost the only thing required is an available usb-port you are allowed to access. With this application you can write safe and encrypted messages anywhere you are: should it be an internet-cafe, at work or somewhere else on holiday… and you always have the encryption-keys available for usage!

Schönes Plädoyer für vi(m).
Yes, there are definite reasons why the vi/vim editing model is just superior to any other out there. And you don’t need to be a Unix whiz to use it, either: vim is available for free for almost any platform out there, and there are plug-ins to get the functionality inside all major IDEs. Let’s try to break a few misconceptions, and see some real examples of why it’s the killerest.
