Interesting what that says about someone. shexec.rb is a parallelizing ssh client. Think dsh.

Change terminal colors

Ever been irritated because the dark blue color in terminal is so dark it doesn't show up on a black background? I have been. Enough so that I've tried to use other color combinations besides a black background only to be irritated that other colors don't show up. The "novel" color scheme is okay, but greens don't show up well, and "homebrew" is okay, but there are no ansi colors for color ls listings, etc, etc.

Finally found a solution. A SIMBL plugin available here: http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/01/customising-colours-in-leopard-terminal.

Salve for the terminal worker's eyes. Seeing is believing:
