I have begun to share my best coding tricks on my blog.
Script optimization and compile tricks will be te main focus, but feel free to ask questions ... even the ones that have been done to death, my answers aren't always what you'd expect (see my bash localization post)

brilliant!

Thank you T. Looks interesting.

Fantastic!

Technosaurus, you are often discovering and posting very interesting things, so you needed a "home" place where it is all together.

Thanks for the support.
The whole purpose is to support you.
My goal is to bring together all of the little obscure tidbits that are easily overlooked by the untrained eye. Things that reduce bloat, increase speed and usability or are otherwise interesting.

Things in the queue:
Porting an applet to busybox
Making your own multicall binary
Making your own multicall scripts (a shell function tutorial)
Using a wrapper script (using a gcc wrapper that scrubs bloated CFLAGS)
Fast replacements for sed, grep, cut, tr.
Recursion (on data and down directories)
Building simple GUIs
Parsing files.
...

What would you like to see?

Technosaurus,
thank you very much!

And now I have found the simple solution for using variables in the translatable texts, better than here:
variables in translatable messages

Copying from console:

# cat hello
#!/bin/sh
# localization using a variable
LANGPATH=locale/${LANG%_*}/hello
home="woof" # a variable for demo only
[ -f $LANGPATH ] && . $LANGPATH
echo ${VAR:-Hello $home World}

# cat locale/es/hello
VAR="Hola Mundo del $home"#

# cat locale/de/hello
VAR="Hallo $home Welt"#

# ./hello
Hallo woof Welt
#
# LANG=es ./hello
Hola Mundo del woof
#
# LANG=en ./hello
Hello woof World
#

Sorry if I have derailed your thread, but your explanation has caused it, so take it as a big compliment please

techno,

Thanks very much for starting your blog. I will be following it regularly and am sure I will learn a lot from it.
