I do something similar to my .bash_aliases, but with a few short additions to make sure running it multiple times doesn't have any strange side effects. For instance:
function edit_load() {
$EDITOR $1
source $1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$1 updated."
fi
}
alias aliases="edit_load ~/.bash_aliases"
# to make sure I don't add things to $PATH on each reload
append_path () {
case ":$PATH:" in
*:"$1":*)
;;
\*)
PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}$1"
esac
}
append_path '/blah/blah/bin'
I hope this doesn't affect Matt Farley[1] too badly, as it seems like he relies on having many songs with only a few streams each as his main strategy for generating income from Spotify.
I once commissioned a Mother's Day song from him -- sent him 10 facts about my Mom and our family and he came back a few days later with a funny and charming little tune. Best $30 I've ever spent.
There is also an interesting contrast with the word for "butterfly" which tends to be quite different between languages[0] -- "mariposa", "papillon", "farfalla", "borboleta", and "fluture" all come from romance languages, for instance.
I sort of went deep on this line of thinking a while back and made a calendar of my life[0] along with a script that updates my desktop background every day. Folks tend to find it pretty morbid, but I quite like it in my own way. I got a fair few days left (theoretically, at least) but not an infinite amount. Gives a bit more weight to what would normally be a pretty boring Thursday -- I should make sure I come out of it with something new, however small.
