Rob dared me to fire up my favorite shell and jump into the game. Imagine my disappointment when I was greeted with this bummer of an error message.

Hmm. No dice. OK, on to my second choice.

jason@jmac:~> history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
48 cd
30 exit
29 m
20 ls
18 git
13 mman
12 **
10 cap1
9 ssh
9 rake

The result? A few well-known friends and some that likely deserve a bit of elaboration.

• m is an alias for the mate shell command for TextMate
• mman is that handy TextMate man page viewer we talked about recently
• The one that’s bleeped out (i.e., **) is an alias that takes me straight to the source dir for my current client project
• cap1 is, um, a reminder that deprec2 is gonna be a nice upgrade
