GIGO: words unreadable aloud
Computer Science -- stuff I'm interested in but that doesn't necessarily relate directly to my job.

OOSH

Setting up another machine, recreating my zsh environment on it, makes me wonder what I've been doing wrong. Seems like I haven't properly parameterized things to make this easier. I guess what I'm thinking might help would be some kind of object-oriented shell, with classes for the desired parts of the prompt string, relevant local file paths, and stuff like that. A few years ago, I had a look at scsh, but it wasn't quite ready for prime time. Maybe it is, now.

Meanwhile, I just use shell variables and shell functions for these things, but it still seems like it could be better organized.

Whew, that's sounding dangerously like a new year's resolution.
