When things are tight and stressful and complicated, usually when preparing difficult sales pitches, I tend to break away from the business at night and enjoy writing simple bash shell scripts or shell one-liners.

For instance, playing with curl, grep, sed, awk and tr, I managed to write one-liners that bring filtered web content right on my desktop courtesy of GeekTool (awesome toy for OS X-ers).

A while ago, I even succeeded to compile Gnome right on top of X11 and Darwin and played a bit with it. Geek fun.
