curl -x proxy.utas.edu.au:8080 -U bobj:asecret http://www.server.net

upload data from the file 'list.txt' to a webserver
curl -F comment=<~/docs/list.txt www.server.net/cgi-bin/save-comment.pl
The curl line above is equivalent to the user filling out a web form and posting it.
The form would look like
upload the file 'notes.txt' with curl through a proxy server to a server cgi script
curl -F filename='../htdocs/notes/index.txt' -F filecontents='
Utas stuff

set -o vi
# I wonder if this is persistent on the server
alias al='vim ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc'
alias sn="curl -F filename='../htdocs/notes/index.txt' -F filecontents='">http://bumble.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/save.x.cgi"

Old notes
play a random wav file in the current folder
mjbishop$ f=$(ls *.wav | head -$[$RANDOM%$(ls | wc -l)] | tail -1); afplay "$f"
slightly shorter way to do the same
mjbishop$ f=$(ls *.wav | sed -n "$[$RANDOM%$(ls | wc -l)]p" ); afplay "$f"
an even shorter way to do the same thing but wont work if some filenames have spaces
a=($(ls)); afplay "${a[$RANDOM%${#a}]}"
display the fifth file in the current folder
a=($(ls)); echo ${a[5]}
display a random file in the current folder
a=($(ls)); echo ${a[$RANDOM%${#a}]}
an interpreting loop which breaks when the user enters 'q'
while true; do read a; echo $a; [ "$a" = "q" ] && break; done
