today's think cloud.
support microformats? standard wiki syntax? cardiac arrhythmia? why did odeo fail? no thinkaloud reviews? weather in munich?

scenario: a directory foo containing two files called bar and bar.tmp.
now issue mv foo/bar* (yes, there's no second argument.)
result: the contents of bar.tmp will be overwritten with those of bar (ie. bar will be renamed to bar.tmp).
you can witness the process in verbose mode:
user@host: mv -v foo/bar*
i think that's quite unnerving./path/to/foo/bar' -> /path/to/foo/bar.tmp'
faster typocat! replace! replace!
