Hello Gophers!

Just a short one today. I wanted to change the way my gophermap for the phlog
directory was sorted. I wanted the gophermap to have the most recent phlog at
the top, instead of a the bottom. So I just needed to invert the sequence of
the lines in the gophermap. And then it hit me: there is actually a Linux tool
for this in the CLI. It's called "tac" and it sole purpose is to do what I just
described as my need. This is why I love Linux so much... There is always a
simple, clever tool for what you need. And if it is not there, then concatena-
ting a few other tools through pipes will mostentimes bring you there.

I find this amazing. It's almost as if the tooling in Linux (and Unix for that
matter) was built by users for users ;-)

Anyway, the weather is very nice here today (23 degrees C, slightly overcast),
so we are going to enjoy our dinner in the garden.

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Fripster
