    Assuming that's not a new computer -- you should juice up your history a bit.

    Add the following to your .bashrc :

    export HISTSIZE=20000
    export HISTFILESIZE=20000
    export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%FT%T "

    It'll greatly increase the size of your .bash_history file, giving you access to a much longer history.

    Also, the time format, indicating *when* you did things, is useful too. top
