What
This is my first attempt at trying to build a Wiki-like knowledge base on top of the Flutterby content management system.
This is a place for explanation, description and static links on a topic that's either too broad to be covered under a single link, or that you're just too lazy to find the real link to.

I first ran across this in the Scary Devil Monastery![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
, where techie in-jokes reigned. In Un*x shells, the "|" character is the pipe, for rerouting streams between programs or processes, and the ">" is the redirect, for rerouting streams to files.
