I have a Unix question that I cannot find the fucking answer to despite my google-fu.

I need to log unix commands. I just want to start a logfile and have it record all the commands I enter (with corresponding responses back).

How do I do this? I can find commands on log mathematical functions, but not how to create and save a logfile.

From Matt:

script will capture commands.

If you run script and tee the output into the same file using append (>>) and redirecting using 2>&1, that might also work.

oh thank you so much. this rocks this house. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

So I had two iPods die in two days. I'm hoping Apple will upgrade the amount of memory in the iPod Touch, so in the meantime I bought an iPod Nano. This has the pedometer, and it keeps asking me if I want to send my pedometer results to Nike. Has anyone tried this? Is Nike all privacy-invasive and sending a billion emails a day? or are they all mellow with your footstep info?

I do the Nike+ thing and haven't gotten a lot of spam from it, I don't think. I'm pretty sure I even checked the "send me offers and whatnot" box and the official Nike e-mails are just occasional and actually informative.

Do you not have to put a sensor in your shoe, now? I bought my new Nano just a little too early, it seems.

Do you not have to put a sensor in your shoe, now?

I think I still can, but it works without it. (So I'm not sure what the advantage to the sensor is.)

That's pretty sweet. I almost wish I didn't know that.

t Glares at old Nanos that need adapter to communicate with shoe sensors

Does yours have the video camera and FM radio?

I had no idea Nanos now have all this stuff until I bought mine last week.

Yeah, I'm really wanting to upgrade but I'm trying to hold off until I see if the new iPhone is on its way and all that.

No, it does not. Stupid progress bumping into my cannot replace things when they are still working ethic.
