Hey all!

This Wednesday, between 8:30 and 10:30, there will be a BoF on ‘Hacks & Tricks’ in Room 234 of Squires.

The gathering will be hosted by Casey Link, although it will be less of a presentation and more of a round-table discussion of people talking about and showing off cool tricks and hacks they have put together. If you have something you would like to contribute, come by and share! This is a very informal meeting, and will likely be low-key as it immediately follows the break. The list of topics that will be covered by Casey are:

* Bootsplash
* Easy Automated backups: both to other drives and remote machines
* Some nifty (usually) default terminal utilities:
wget, screen, kill, killall, grep, slocate, apropos, cal, du, df
(the list could go on and on)
* Vim shortcuts
* Emacs — don’t shoot me!
* SSH tunnels and X11 forwarding
* checkinstall
* the wonders of ImageMagick
* and more!
