I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for a little while and I’ve been very content to pootle along using a GUI and not fretting too much about the terminal.

More recently I find myself fascinated by more ‘old school’ ways of working and wanting to make more use of plain text the bits of writing I do. So I’ve decided to learn a bit more about the Linux terminal and its commands, alongside how to use Vim. I might even give some thought to leaning a bit of scripting. It’s more than 10 years since I gave attention to any sort of coding: I don’t pretend to remember any of the perl and php I taught myself in the heyday of my blogging. But I’m arrogant enough to think that it can’t be beyond me. I might be getting old, but I refuse to accept that I’m past it!

So I’ve started a new blog, hosted on github, partly because git is also something I don’t understand and want to learn about. If you want to follow my journey, you can find it at CLI Adventures – Lightweight blogging about command line computing

I’m not really expecting anyone else to be interested, but thought I’d share just in case. I haven’t properly got to grips with Jekyll or GitHub yet, so there’s nothing pretty about it. It’s a work in progress, just like me.
