I really like ice cream. But sometimes I’m too lazy to sit there and use a spoon. So when that happens I reach for an ice cream shake. Here are the ones in town I like in most favorite to least:

Recommended:

Big Top – pretty much perfect.

EZ’s – good options. Offers malts too.

Mighty Fine – pretty good

P Terrys – portion seems small but is still a lot of calories. good price. gave me gas last time though… cheap prices mean cheap dairy I guess.

Fuddruckers – It’s been a very long time since I’ve been, but I remember liking it.

Avoid:

Hideout – Oreo shake was blended far beyond what it should have been and lost its consistency

Mighty Cone

Alamo Drafthouse – The most disappointing shake I’ve had because it’s also one of the most expensive. It’s like drinking warm whipped cream.

So today, being stuck in the house, I decide I should streamline some of my things in the unix world. So I picked up some BASH scripting. I got some serious flashbacks to the 90′s. I would have flashed back earlier, but I’m not old enough. It really makes you appreciate the UNIX geeks of yesteryear. Those guys were clever. And this code looks ugly. But it could be worse… I could be doing MUMPS.

Some sites that aren’t Google I found helpful:

• linuxconfig.org
• ibm.com
• Awk – A Tutorial…

And some random grep links:

• old age and treachery…
• why GNU grep is so fast
