alias Grep=grep # My most common typo

cma: quick bash script to make a quick and dirty copy of everything in current working dir (optionally pass in a filename mask) to ~/cma_dir/. Handy for doing something that automagically generates/modified config files. Got in the habit of doing a "cma *.conf" before mucking about. Obviously comes from the days before snapshots.
almost as useful as "#rel in 5" before changing routing rules on a remote Cisco.
