ksh was not my first shell, but as much as you, it is where I use vi command-line editing a lot. It's one of the first shells I really got to grip with as a young budding system administrator. I didn't know any vim really before I went on a Sun scripting for sysadmin course. My Ksh scripting book has served me well over the many years.

I have had similar experiences while exploring caverns in the Ardennes in Belgium. This was actually late eighties, so not as prevalent with smartphones.
The tour guide said all the guides had a running bet which group could stand the longest being in total darkness without using watches/torches/lighters to create some resemblance of light. "Never had a single group last over 5 minutes".

There has been a couple of programs on the UK channels (I think mostly Channel4/Five) that dealt with with Perisher course. It is brutal, hard, and exhausting.
And yeah, bottle of whisky on your leave and you can't work on subs anymore (though you do get to keep the Dolphin pin apparently).

Isn't that what happened with Astrid? It was at least part open source and they released that code when yahoo acquired it.
Of course, the buyer may just ask you to remove that clause prior the acquisition.
