A few geek things:
1. PuSSH rules my world. Basically a script that does non-interactive remote execution, blah blah, yeah yeah, so what, ssh does that... but ah, what makes PuSSH stand out is that it can do it to 2034820394823 bajillion machines in parallel. AT THE SAME TIME! And it can discover the machines with ranges and stuff. Y'know, server[1-20].foo.bar.com -- it'll run the same command on all 20 servers, doesn't freak out if server13 doesn't exist. Pwnage.
2. This may be old news, but I just discovered raw queries in Spotlight. Holy crap. I've now got a few cool smart folders -- one that displays all files I've downloaded from the internet, sorted by date (no more losing them! Yay!), one that displays all torrent trackers I've downloaded that don't have a full-blown movie/whatever buddy -- undownloaded torrents. I don't need to try to remember if I've downed something or not -- it remembers for me! I need to play more with various queries and figure out what I need, but already I'm feeling teh pwn.
3. My friend Paul's blog, wherein he rambles on about the linux kernel and writes his blog entry titles in bash ("if [ `date +%m%d` = 1225 ] ; then cd $HOME ; fi" is the title of his "I'm going home to AZ for holidays, ciao" post... geek).
4. A surprisingly fascinating talk/paper about ontology, organization methods, specifically regarding tagging of information/urls/files/etc. For a paper about information organization that makes a number of references to the Dewey Decimal System, the Periodic Table, and the Library of Congress, I read it all the way through and even took notes. I deserve a gold star! Now go read it.
5. Not really geeky, but here are 101 Hungarian commercials from the 80s. I've posted it and various videos from it a few times over the past year, but damn do I love the site. The first video, by the way, "HURKA" -- it holds a special place in my heart. Whenever I'm feeling down, I always know HURKA will be there for me.
6. Going back to the tagging thing, SpotMeta is a neat OSX app that allows you to inject your own tags into the file beyond the built-ins. Sweet.
