Just a little trick that might come in handy. I don't want to think about filenames when I'm posting to this phlog. The phlog php script looks at file creation times, so the file name could be anything. For me, I want a backup, so I name my files with the current unix timestamp, and .txt To do this quickly at easily at the command line, I type: pico `date +%s`.txt And voila, I'm editing my file with the current time stamp as the name. You could use any editor with the same results. Just a shortcut I thought I'd share.
