I'm still working thru the list, but I've noted some I will steal! 

Help yourself, I certainly did over time.   

In my 1st decade or so in Unix/Linux circles there was no such thing as a GUI, so, anything that "sensibly" saves typing is ok with me.

Besides, this is Linux - we are all thieving hackers bent on world destruction didn't you know! 

cheers,
greywolf.

The only thing I tend to do differently than what you have there Grey Wolf is I like to have my things like ff as functions rather than as aliases.  It's a minor difference but organizationally it helps me to keep them separate.

I also use cdargs as opposed to aliases for movement.  But those ../.../.... are pretty nice.  Might have to rethink that.
