My new other hero

Bruce Schneier will of course always have a special place in my geeky heart, but I think I've found another guy to worship: Brock (last name unknown).
Some of the stuff is relatively simple, but a lot of it is very, very elegant. I've already learned a couple of things just perusing this blog, and I know a LOT about bash.
For instance, I'm now terribly ashamed of my previous post about awk and sed, if for no other reason than it shows I was unaware of a lot of these methods.
Of course, in my defense, I've been doing shell scripting for a very long time and I tend not to use a lot of bash-specific features, just because I cut my teeth having to write portable (i.e. bash and ksh) scripts. Really, though, that's not a valid excuse anymore - you'd be hard-pressed to find a Unix distro from the last 3-4 years that doesn't include bash out of the box.
I am totally gonna study this guy's blog......
