Feel Human!

I feel good now :)

I donated for a good cause.  Like you, I also had qualms that what if I donate unknowingly to a scam, which in fact will NOT help the people in Haiti.

So I did a small research (googling).

After reading about Doctors Without Borders from many sources, I decided to donate to this organization.  What’s pitiful is that this organization already had 3 hospitals in Haiti but all all of them have become inoperable because of the earthquake; 1 fell down, 2 are too unstable and unsafe and so, got abandoned.

More Doctors Without Borders volunteers are being flown to Haiti as they are short in staff and supplies [/source].

Command Line Calculator for csh (C Shell)

November 3, 2009 - Leave a Response

Just add

alias calc ‘awk “BEGIN{ print \!:1 }”;’

to your .alias or whatever-your-default-shell-file-is file.

Restart the terminal.

Example usage:

  • calc 4*4

Though, it gets a bit cluttery if you want to use parenthesis.

  • calc “1000000\*\(1.45\+6.2\)\/100″

You need to put the whole expression in double quotes and use the escape character “\” for every symbol (*,/,),(,+,-) you use in the expression.

But in the end, it works! :)

Update 1:

Just add

   alias calc ‘echo "\!:*" | bc -l’

to your .alias or whatever-your-default-shell-file-is file.

Restart the terminal.

Example usage:

  • calc 4*4
  • calc 1000000*(6.2+1.45)/100
  • calc 4^4 ( calculation of powers also works using bc! )
