13:16 pdurbin last night I watched Your Dev Toolbox, Everywhere - YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2GV0GlXBX4 via http://www.schmonz.com/2013/01/22/codemash-2013-your-dev-toolbox-everywhere by https://twitter.com/schmonz
13:17 pdurbin basically, he's advocating using http://www.pkgsrc.org on various operating systems to install the tools you like
13:19 pdurbin pretty much I do the same thing, my main tools being vim and perl (and various CPAN modules) and scripts I've written, which I'm starting to publish at https://github.com/pdurbin/scripts
13:20 pdurbin i've talked about data liberation already
13:20 pdurbin i'm not sure what to call this
13:20 pdurbin tool liberation? :)
13:20 pdurbin anyway, I'm a big believer in it
13:21 pdurbin i already dropped a link to the video here: http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2013-02-14#i_3314
13:22 pdurbin i tend to go for simple command line tools
13:22 pdurbin the lowest common denominator
13:24 pdurbin actually, i'd like to highlight another tool I use along these lines... remind(1): http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
13:25 pdurbin here's my demo of it with some fake data: https://github.com/pdurbin/remind-recurring-todo
13:25 pdurbin and here's my write up of when i first started using it: https://plus.google.com/107770072576338242009/posts/fu9wVpuDdzy
13:26 pdurbin I like it because I have one place, one file to look at, when I'm thinking about all the things I need to do on a recurring basis
13:26 pdurbin here's the fake sample file: https://github.com/pdurbin/remind-recurring-todo/blob/master/reminders.txt
13:26 pdurbin but i have a real file that I absolutely use and depend on
13:27 pdurbin i generate a few months of output and throw it on google drive
13:28 pdurbin then I just erase items as I complete them
16:02 pdurbin oh, i should mention i heard about remind(1) here: http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly/199
