Found an interesting story about the origin of the SGI logo while reading IRIS Universe, Spring 1987 issue..

Puzzle artist Scott Kim designed the Silicon Graphics logo entirely using JAM, a pre-PostScript language from Xerox. He started with a cube, looped a continuous tube around its vertices, rounded the corners, then rotated it so the 2D projection reads as both a hexagonal flower and a 3D object.

@flexion have you seen this?

"Why Piles Get Stuck Buffering" is an excellent article, as I finally learned why terminal output sometimes seems slow.

Recursion usually scares me a bit, but it worked out nicely here:

#convert "cx"-style Esperanto notation to native accents (ĉ)
function eaccent {
    if [[ ${1:-} ]]; then
        echo "$*" |eaccent
    else
        sed 's/cx/ĉ/g; s/gx/ĝ/g; s/hx/ĥ/g; s/jx/ĵ/g; s/sx/ŝ/g; s/ux/ŭ/g; s/C[xX]/Ĉ/g; s/G[xX]/Ĝ/g; s/H[xX]/Ĥ/g; s/J[xX]/Ĵ/g; s/S[xX]/Ŝ/g; s/U[xX]/Ŭ/g'
    fi
}
