Things I wish I knew sooner...
For the longest time I complained about the Mac terminal not being keyboard friendly. Home inserted ~ instead of going to the beginning of the line, all that junk. While on one of my rants, someone told me that emacs commands work in terminal (I do not know emacs what-so-ever). Apparently, Control A goes to the beginning of the line, Control E goes to the end, and Control K deletes to the end of the line. Control XU undos. Not half bad!

1. Pidgin, with ten tabs used for talking to fneirds over the last several days2. Firefox, with six tabs: , , BBC News, work’s bug tracker, and 3. The volume control window thing4. Nautilus, on my home directory5. A fullscreen gnome-terminal, containing screen, which had two screens idle at local bash prompts, plus one showing a man page, one showing a pydoc page, one an emacs process where I’m adding something to Metacity (it has ten buffers, not counting Compilation and things), one idle at a remote bash prompt doing nothing interesting, and one open to a development server which itself has eleven screens inside it. These eleven screens are mutt (which is where I saw I saw the post I’m answering), irssi (with ten channels open, all quiet to very quiet), a rather complicated screen [ which contains two backgrounded man pages, three backgrounded vims, and a foreground emacs process where I’m working on fixing up ], my local copy of which contains three backgrounded vims and was expecting me to launch another Blog Wrangler process at some point, a shell prompt, a screen where I was playing with , four separate lynxes or w3ms reading websites such as the Daily Office, a screen containing a couple of vims working on a site for Fin, and a screen that had been for reading but I idled out.
