YubNub is Rewiring My Thought Paths.

[elzr]

Today, as I read through the morning sitting in a cafe, sipping a cold
Americano, and with no laptop handy, I found myself writing all sorts
of notes and little reminders to myself in every scrap of paper I could
get my hands on. What I found remarkable was not the actual content of
the notes but the form they naturally took. I wrote "rae edomita" where
I would have previously written "Que significa edomita?" (Spanish for
"What does 'edomita' mean?"); "iy kingfisher bird" instead of "What
does a Kingfisher bird look like?"; "a Markov process" instead of "Find
out what's a Markov process."; "am Gravity and Grace" instead of "Find
out about this 'Gravity and Grace' book."; "wp Edward Fredkins" instead
of "Who is this Edward Fredkins?"; and so on, and so on...

YubNub is rewiring my thought paths, I'm thinking in commands now! As I
sat there pondering this epiphany, I thought I'd post to the YubNub
Group about it. I wrote something like "yubgrub -new YubNub Is Rewiring
My Thought Paths." and the first thing I did as soon as I got near a
computer was implement that little command (the rewiring goes both
ways!).

Cheers to YubNub!

(Actually, I implemented yubgrub prematurely by mistake. The right
version is now in yubgrub2. Jon, could you please erase the current
yubgrub command and then rename yubgrub2 to yubgrub? Thanks.)

That's it, this is going into the yubnub blog.

(yubgrub2 has been renamed to yubgrub :-)

That's a great description, Eliazar.

I find that when YubNub is down, it takes me second to remember how to
use the web the old way. It's like the whole web is broken.

When YubNub is down, I get so stressed out because I know Brian and others
are trying to surf the web with it and getting errors. Damn!

The web host (TextDrive) has a good reputation; plus I think the system has
been behaving OK of late.

The worst is waking up and finding YubNub is down. I'm on Pacific Standard
Time so I wake up later than many YubNub users.

Oops, I didn't mean to cause you more stress, Jon! I was just
illustrating how integral YubNub has become to my web use.

Thanks again!

HAHAHA! That's very very funny Eliazar!

When YubNub goes down... I get confused. That's all I have to say. =P

Maybe we could start setting up some mirrors?

[Brian]

I've never set up a mirror, but it's an interesting idea.

How would new command updates be handled?

Any idea what bandwidth a mirror would get? I'd guess a small fraction
of what Yubnub gets.
