15:40 jay-mccarthy: mattmight: i have tons of aliases for cd-ing to different directories but i think your script is probably much better than that
15:46 mattmight: I used to have a bunch of aliases.  Eventually, I got tired of writing aliases and figured a script could do it for me.
15:46 mattmight: I actually have two scripts now: r and f.  r = show me recently visited directories, f = show me frequently visited directories.
15:48 jay-mccarthy: it would be cool to get bash completion to have r<TAB> show the list
15:48 jay-mccarthy: rather than running it
15:48 mattmight: It's possible to do that actually.
15:49 samth: bash completions are easy to write
15:49 jonrafkind: mattmight, can you paste those scripts?
15:49 jay-mccarthy: http://matt.might.net/articles/console-hacks-exploiting-frequency/
15:50 jonrafkind: cool
15:50 mattmight: I need to update the post to add the recency script.  It just has the frequency one now.
15:51 jay-mccarthy: the mysql db seems like overkill
15:51 jay-mccarthy: it would be nice to just use sqlite or bdb so there's no database to admin
15:51 mattmight: Yeah, any db will do.  Even a simple flat-file sexpr database would be fine, I bet.
15:52 mattmight: But, I keep other stats in mysql, too, like my mail load.
15:52 jonrafkind: uhh is it strange that my ~/.bash_history is owned by root/root ?
15:52 samth: yes
15:52 mattmight: Check this out in an HTML5-compliant browser: http://matt.might.net/apps/mail-load/
15:53 mattmight: Green line = inbox count, red line = unread count; time-span = 1 week.
15:53 sstrickl: your moment of bankruptcy?
15:53 samth: having it start fully zoomed is frightening
15:53 jay-mccarthy: i agree
15:53 mattmight: The first derivative of that chart is a good approximation of my stress level.  Very useful for Cristian.
15:53 mattmight: err. Cristina
15:53 sstrickl grins.
15:54 mattmight: Yeah, you can see the moment when I declared email bankruptcy too.
15:54 jay-mccarthy: do you have that displayed somewhere?
15:54 jay-mccarthy: ie what do you use this for?
15:54 mattmight: Cristina has it bookmarked.
15:54 jay-mccarthy: hah
15:55 mattmight: I'm eventually going to put it on the bottom of matt.might.net too, so my grad students can check it if I'm not replying to their email.
15:55 jay-mccarthy: that's nice
16:03 eli: mattmight: two things should be obvious:
16:03 eli: (a) This is way shorter than the perl script: sort input-stream | uniq -c | sort -n
16:03 eli: (b) you're working hard for things that are either included or easy to implement in zsh.
16:04 jay-mccarthy: those are in zsh?
16:04 eli: These kind of things either are in, or much easier to get than in bash.
16:04 eli looks
16:07 eli: jay-mccarthy: There's a `dirstack' array, and looking for "zsh dirstack save" has a few possibly relevant things.
16:12 eli: jay-mccarthy: Here's a bit that demonstrates the "general spirit" of zsh --
16:12 eli: In mattmight's page there's a ~20-line function that runs a command when the directory changes.
16:12 eli: Checks where you were, record new, etc.
16:12 eli: All that is done in the PROMPT_COMMAND.
16:13 eli: In zsh there's a specific `chpwd' hook function that gets called whenever the directory changes.
16:13 eli: But obviously something so useful will be common to hack,
16:13 eli: so you can also have `chpwd_functions' be an array of functions, and each one will be called.
16:14 eli: (bash will probably get there, probbaly, if you wait another decade.)
16:16 jay-mccarthy: i found this: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050806202859392
16:17 jay-mccarthy: but it doesn't seem very elegant because of the external script and it only remembers the last session
16:21 eli: Looks like something ancient.  (It uses only `dirs' which is pretty common.)
17:22 (nick) samth -> samth_away
17:38 jay-mccarthy: mattmight: "ls -t | head -7 | xargs ls -d" is very pretty because it keeps column output without showing directory contents
17:39 mattmight: oh, nifty.

18:13 jay-mccarthy: mattmight and eli
18:18 mattmight: neat
18:18 mattmight: I need to get set up on github.
19:38 eli: jay-mccarthy: what's the point of the "... | xargs ls -d"?
19:38 eli: Also, it looks like it's not space-robust.
