I've never really had the patience to fiddle a lot of with the hardware but have always wanted to use e-ink screens for working, specially on the move. (Tried the hacks for remarka…

I used to be scared of Awk, and then I read through the appendix / chapters of "More Programming Pearls" ( https://www.amazon.com/More-Programming-Pearls-Confessions-C... ) and it …
