Just learned about the shuf
command. It was the missing piece in my conky
set-up: I wanted a way to keep a fresh set of tasks on my desktop, just as a little tweak for my brain, so I wouldn’t forget about all the stuff on my plate. I still mostly use task ready
to plan my day, but now, while I’m working, I can glance over and be assured of seeing a fresh list of random things that might be in my future. :-) And I can cut it off perfectly, for my desktop, with -n 35
. man sort
, down to related commands, and there it was, just waiting for me. :-)
