One of the fastest ways I know to learn new tricks is just to ask another geek for their favorites. I tried that recently with my development team and then posted the results to oreillynet. That was effectively asking the O’Reilly audience for their favorites.
One of the things I learned was that a lot of people are getting their tricks from a daily dose of email, Unix Guru Universe’s Unix Tip of the Day newsletter.
