# This is a short collection of tools that are useful for managing your
# known_hosts file. In this case, I'm using the '-f' flag to specify the
# global known_hosts file because I'll be adding many deploy users on this
# system. Simply omit the -f flag to operate on ~/.ssh/known_hosts

# Add entry for host
ssh-keyscan -H github.com >> /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts

# Scan known hosts
ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts -F github.com

"I have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it." - John Swartzwelder

# Excerpt from ptools gem

# Returns whether or not +file+ is a binary non-image file, i.e. executable,
# shared object, ect. Note that this is NOT guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
# It performs a "best guess" based on a simple test of the first
# +File.blksize+ characters, or 4096, whichever is smaller.
#
# By default it will check to see if more than 30 percent of the characters
# are non-text characters. If so, the method returns true. You can configure
# this percentage by passing your own as a second argument.
