I wanted to try and blog more regularly. But I got to a point where the "easy" blog ideas I had were exhausted. I was left with cool topics that required extensive research and writing. It just seemed "too hard" to get started on any of those topics. And so my blog has languished for many months.

Recently I realized that I didn't have to unpack those "cool but difficult" topics to write something useful. So here's a quickie on some useful tips and tricks with the Linux "ls" command.

For my fellow bloggers the lesson here is that not every post has to be an earth-shattering revelation. You have something useful to say even (or perhaps especially) on topics you have already mastered. Get out there and get writing!

one of the things i learned doing tutorials and classes is that it's very easy to forget that what we think of as trivial often isn't to a newbie. accessible info on basic tasks, written clearly, has real value to them.
