Say yes, World's Best Single Malt Whisky, Time management

Hey, how are you doing? We had miraculous summer days over here this week.

Say yes

When I was looking for an instruction for updating Rails to the latest version, I came across the following command line

yes | sudo gem cleanup # Remove old versions

The point is the beginning of the line where a command called yes is used. I've never seen this command before in my 1x years of using Unix/Linux. This command keeps saying yes to interactive processes. Here is the man page of yes command on Leopard.

World's Best Single Malt Whisky 2008

To my surprise, the world's best single malt whisky in 2008 was a Japanese whisky called YOICHI. It's 20 years-old and it costs £100.

As you might expected, the ceremony was held at Glasgow.

Time management

I'll experimentally start to have an hour slot at 4pm everyday for chats. If someone come and see me at 1pm, I'll ask them to come back to me at 4pm. Hope this works.
