I always wondered, how to check the popularity of some packages in Ubuntu. Unfortunately, they do not seem to have such a nice popcon-page as Debian. But Steffen Moeller gave me this line, which looks for the statistics for the package gwyddion:

$ wget -O - http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_vote.gz 2> /dev/null | gunzip | egrep 'gwyddion' 

which will produce some output like

 <some_number> <packagename> <nr-of_installations> <nr_of_votes> <nr_of_old> <nr_of_recent> <nr_of_no-files>

Great!

Finally, I found, what I was always thinking of as something "nice to have": A database for searching compositions by melody:

Musipedia

 You can "type in" notes on a piano or draw them, or search by the general "contour" of your melody or by rhythm... Great.

I always wanted to be able to access my data on the university-ssh-server easily from at home. sshfs (homepage) is the solution. Just type

$ sshfs loginname@hostname: mountpoint
