As a side-note: maybe it’s not the best idea to always categorize Bash as something reserved to the “geeks” as it puts a barrier of entry where there needs not to be any. It’s merely an app using text (we all learned to handle text as little children, we should be at least a little familiar with words) instead of GUI but it still is just an app. And believe me, if I was able to learn to use it, many more people should be… if only they were not that intimidated by the idea that it’s for geeks ;)
I won’t obsess about the way people want to (not) call me but I can tell you I did not know how to use scripts before… I learned to use them, and I only learned the simple stuff I do actually need. For the rest, I use my computer for writing, browsing the Web, listening to music and watching movies. I post on my blog too. Does that make me a geek? So be it ;)
You cannot call yourself non-technical when you know bash scripts lol!
