# Haste

Sharing code is a good thing, and it should be _really_ easy to do it.
A lot of times, I want to show you something I'm seeing - and that's where we use pastebins.

Haste is the prettiest, easist to use pastebin ever made.

## Basic Usage

Type what you want me to see, click "Save", and then copy the URL.  Send that URL
to someone and they'll see what you see.

To make a new entry, click "New" (or type 'control + n')

## From the Console

Most of the time I want to show you some text, its coming from my current console session.
We should make it really easy to take code from the console and send it to people.

`cat something | haste` # http://hastebin.com/1238193

You can even take this a step further, and cut out the last step of copying the URL with:

* osx: `cat something | haste | pbcopy`
* linux: `cat something | haste | xsel`

After running that, the STDOUT output of `cat something` will show up at a URL which has
been conveniently copied to your clipboard.

That's all there is to that, and you can install it with `gem install haste` right now.
  * osx: you will need to have an up to date version of Xcode
  * linux: you will need to have rubygems and ruby-devel installed

## Duration

Pastes will stay for 30 days from their last view.

## Privacy

While the contents of hastebin.com are not directly crawled by any search robot that
obeys "robots.txt", there should be no great expectation of privacy.  Post things at your
own risk. Not responsible for any loss of data or removed pastes.

## Open Source

Haste can easily be installed behind your network, and its all open source!
