Really cool post! Thanks much!

My 2 cents:

To-do / time-management:

So cool apps ! A few word about how I use emacs into the terminal : _ launch emacs -nw (create an alias for this, for example cemacs) _ minimize it with C-z, allright _ then you would type "fg %emacs" to re-open it : too long so create a keybinding in your .bashrc like "bind -x '"\C-x\C-e":fg %emacs'" So you just have to press C-x-e _ be careful of interference problems if you open another emacs instance. So you may want to use emacsclient cemacs () { #in .bashrc if (ps|grep emacs); then cecho $j "Beware, emacs's already running :)"; echo "let's open these files in the same session anyway" sleep 1 emacsclient -n $@ fg %emacs else emacs -nw $@ fi } and in your .emacs : (server-start) _ now it's useful and very powerful ! Then I use 2 scripts to listen some music with mplayer : _ to listen in shuffle mode, use these in a script : find $@ ./ -iname "*.mp3" -o -iname "*.wma" -o -iname "*.ogg" -o -iname "*.m4a" -o -iname "*.wav" \ |grep -i -v INCOM >my_playlist mplayer -shuffle -playlist my_playlist _ and then a customized find function to find and play files quickly in all the subtrees of your dir, but it's a bit long :p But this is really quicker than GUIs.

A few word about how I use emacs into the terminal :
_ launch emacs -nw (create an alias for this, for example cemacs)
_ minimize it with C-z, allright
_ then you would type “fg %emacs” to re-open it : too long
so create a keybinding in your .bashrc like “bind -x ‘”\C-x\C-e”:fg %emacs’”
So you just have to press C-x-e
_ be careful of interference problems if you open another emacs instance. So you may want to use emacsclient
cemacs () { #in .bashrc
if (ps|grep emacs); then
cecho $j “Beware, emacs’s already running :) ”;
echo “let’s open these files in the same session anyway”
sleep 1
emacsclient -n $@
fg %emacs
else emacs -nw $@
fi
}
and in your .emacs :
(server-start)
_ now it’s useful and very powerful !

Then I use 2 scripts to listen some music with mplayer :
_ to listen in shuffle mode, use these in a script :
find $@ ./ -iname “*.mp3″ -o -iname “*.wma” -o -iname “*.ogg” -o -iname “*.m4a” -o -iname “*.wav” \
|grep -i -v INCOM >my_playlist
mplayer -shuffle -playlist my_playlist

_ and then a customized find function to find and play files quickly in all the subtrees of your dir, but it’s a bit long :p But this is really quicker than GUIs.

I use emacs -nw as an IDE , As a hobbyist programmer i spend 90 % of my computer non internet time at the CLI , for the mere fact that it is A LOT faster/ less resource eater Than any GUIs!

It's very useful when you want to find out which connection is hogging all the bandwidth, or want to find out how many connections are there with a specific remote host.
