# Below is a one-liner that'll fetch you a histogram
# for the available filesystem spaces in your computer.
# You can run the command directly from your unix terminal.

curl $(echo "http://quickhist.onloop.net/Percentage=100,"$(df -h | awk '{print $1,$5}' | tail -n +2 | sed 's/%//g;s/G//g;H;${x;s/\n/,/g;s/^,//;p;};d;' | sed 's/\s\+/=/g;s/\//-/g;')) --silent | sed '1,2d;$d'

# The sed '1,2d;$d' is to remove HTML markup (first two lines and the last).
# You can ignore it; the histogram is 
# distinctly visible amidst the markup anyway.
