Makes you look busy

Enhancement for the 'busy' command originally posted by busybee : less chars, no escape issue, and most important it exclude small files ( opening a 5 lines file isn't that persuasive I think ;) )

This makes an alias for a command named 'busy'. The 'busy' command opens a random file in /usr/include to a random line with vim.

Grep with one result at a time

Not perfect but working (at least on the project i wrote it ;) )

Specify what you want search in var search, then it grep the folder and show one result at a time.

Press enter and then it will show the next result.

It can work bad on result in the firsts lines, and it can be improved to allow to come back.

But in my case (a large project, i was checking if a value wasn't used withouth is corresponding const and the value is "1000" so there was a lot of result ...) it was perfect ;)

Count the lines of source code in directory, ignoring files in generated by svn

There's nothing particularly novel about this combination of find, grep, and wc, I'm just putting it here in case I want it again.
