Public Shellsink instance shutdown

I've turned off history.shellsink.com. It makes sense since all the source code is in launchpad, and since hosting your own private shellsink on appengine is free. Anyone still using shellsink can migrate to their own private shellsink server. And now I can stop paying for the domain name and storing people's shell commands on my appengine account. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the project.

Introducing shell_sink

What is it?

Shell Sink is a web accessible version of your bash history. Commands issued in bash are sent to shell_sink by a simple open source client application. Once a command is in shell_sink you can search, annotate and tag it.

Why use it?

If you've ever wasted time trying to remember a particular command line incantation, shell_sink is for you. It stores commands and makes them easily accessible with searching and tagging. If you work on multiple computers shell_sink can aggregate your history across all machines. System administrators can even use it to aggregate commands issued across an entire organization making them fully searchable. Never lose a command again.

Who should use it?

shell_sink is for anyone with a unix system. Linux, BSD, OSX, Solaris, Playskool. It should be noted that shell_sink is currently under active development.
