Move a file up a directory.

cd into the directory that contains the file.

this is just the usual move command but shortcut'd.

say you wanted to move a photo img1.png from ~/photos/holidayphotos into the parent directory which is ~/photos

command would be:

~/photos/holidayphotos$ mv img1.png ..

I use Ubuntu so this'll work in debian but not sure what else.

OSX: Use Say Command to Help You Play Hide-and-Seek

Hide-and-Seek is one of the greatest games in the parent's arsenal. Your kid runs off and hides for several minutes, while waiting for you to find him/her. This gives you time to catch a breath and check your email without feeling like a loser. If you'd also like to take advantage of the counting time--claiming that thinking space as your own--use this command on your OSX terminal to maximize downtime. Also, if your kid is like mine, you can get away with "for i in {1..100};" :)
