Terminal tip: easy email attachments
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/04/19/terminal-tip-easy-email-attachments/
This is a nice short little article. I’m always forgetting how to do mail attachments with mailx at work, and this gave me nice reminder: uuencode
The magical command in this one is uuencode, which is used to encode and decode binary files and can be used on just about any file type. The two arguments in the command above define the name and location of the source file and the name the file should have when it’s received. The parenthetical statement at the beginning combines the results of the echo and uuencode commands which are then piped (|) to the mail command.
So, remember folks:
(echo "This is the message body";uuencode [file_location] \
[file_name] ) | mailx -s "Subject line here" \

Craft brewing ingredients shortage in Michigan
WDET’s (local NPR station) Detroit Today had an article yesterday regarding the upcoming shortage on brewing supplies. Guess hops and 2-row malt are getting harder to find. Or at least more expensive.
