Clever… not good, but clever.

Not to be confused with the iPhone app: wurdle.

Spotted on Mark Pilgrim’s blog:

From my home computer:
[Odin:~] maguirer% history -1000|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s \n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head

  130	ls
  129	cd
   38	lo
   26	unzip
   24	rm
   23	m
   19	rjm
   16	find
   13	mv
    9	ll

From my Web server:
[rjmaguire:~] maguirer% history -1000|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s \n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head

  171	ls
   68	cd
   48	rm
   35	svn
   19	vi
   16	mv
   12	m
   11	scp
   11	lo
   11	ll

Sadly, nothing terribly exciting.

A few notes:
“rjm” – aliased to ssh for opening a secure connection to my web server
“find” – was trying to find a list I thought I lost for a blog entry I’m working on
“unzip” – recently updated my WoW addons by hand
“scp” – how files make their way back home from my server
“vi” – w00t!
“ls” – apparently, I have ADD, but really I’ll often sit in front of the terminal just typing “ls” over and over. Somehow, it helps me think

As for who to tag… share ‘em if ya got ‘em, folks!
