List of blog series

In my blog I sometimes write multiple posts on the same topic, or I write posts in multiple parts. This page contains the list of these “blog series”.

Note: This is not a full list of my blog posts divided by topic.

• more(1)
• shutdown(8)
• sh(1) part 1
• sh(1) part 2
• tetris(6)
• ed(1)
• dc(1)

• Part 1: grep
• Part 2: sed
• Part 2.1: tr
• Part 2.2: head and tail
• Part 2.3: rev
• Part 2.4: cut
• Part 2.5: expand and unexpand
• Part 2.6: fold
• Part 3: awk (coming “soon”)
