How to get your previous commands in AIX

Without an auto complete feature like in BASH, AIX appears more complicated then it really is. Especially amongst new users.The retyping of commands can get real annoying sometimes.

Fortunately, accessing your command history is easyly acomplished in AIX and will save you a load of time.

To start off, run “set -o vi” to set the shell to “VI” or “Insert Mode” mode.

[akuny][/users/jabas] # set -o vi

Next, hit the “Esc” key to get into VI mode. Once in vi mode follow the combinations below to scroll through your command history.

Alt + <k>key to go back

Alt + <j> key to go forward

Alternatively you could;

Alt + <->key to go back

Alt + <+>key to go forward

Enjoy.

Bye Bye Pownce

I remember posting about Pownce some time back. The Django powered, Kevin Rose cofounded micro-blogging service.

It’s offically closing it’s doors on the 15th of December 2008 as a direct result from a buyout by Six Apart. The blogging platform specialist.

Current Pownce users might not be happy about this but somethings sometime just don’t work out the way you want them to. Twitter’s dominance in the micro-blogging world can be seen everywhere today and I’m quite confident that it might have been a challenge for Pownce to keep up with the giant. However, all is not lost. If you’re a current Pownce user, there’s an export option for you to migrate your data over to other services.

2009 is going to be interesting. The guys from Pownce and now with Six Apart. Something awesome is bound to come out from this new aliance.

Let’s wait and see. Thanks Pownce!

Skateboarding comps for December

While I was skateboarding back in the da days up in CH it was the wrong thing to do but today, the tables have flipped. With media coverage from the Asian X games and local sports organizations pitching in to promote the sport it has began to grow.

We have local skate DVDs coming out, locally produced decks, local designs, Ts and skate shops popping up everywhere. This is good. It’s always nice to see a dream one had come true.

There are 2 comps scheduled for December. One by VANS and the other by Putrajaya. The price money is decent, even though it’s not as high as what’s being paid out overseas but is certainly a good start and motivator for local talent.
