acronyms-misc
-------------

This is a collection of random acronyms I want to have tracked somewhere,
mainly for my own reference.

Luckily, there is already infrastructure to use these -- wtf utility
(the name fits if you ask me, but nobody is meant to be offended)
from bsd-games package.  Setting things up to start using this "dictionary"
is as easy as:


$ # install the respective package (for Fedora)
$ su -c 'yum install -y bsd-games'

$ # have the new acronyms base recognized, e.g.:
$ cat  >>~/.profile <<EOF
export ACRONYMDB=\$(ls /usr/share/misc/acronyms* $(pwd)/acronyms* 2>/dev/null)
EOF
$ source ~/.profile

$ # or alternatively and less nicely:
$ su -c 'ln -s $(pwd)/acronyms* /usr/share/misc/'

$ # let's test it:
$ wtf fd
FD: Full disclosure, also ML [http://ur1.ca/hhxhq]


If something is missing, please let me know.  Patches especially welcome.
