    alias realias='chmod u+w ~/.aliases; $EDITOR ~/.aliases; source ~/.aliases; chmod -w ~/.aliases'

From the command line, type realias to open your favorite editor on your aliases file, add a new alias, and reload your aliases all from the same terminal.  Don't waste any more time closing terminals and opening them again to get your latest aliases...

Now put everything that annoys you in your alias file.  Some good ones are:

    alias testcover='cover -delete; ./Build testcover; cover'
    alias newsvn='cd ~/dev/repos; svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs'
    alias um="uptime && free -m"
    alias makepugs='PARROT_PATH="/home/chromatic/dev/parrot" PUGS_EMBED="perl5 parrot" perl Makefile.PL'
    alias spp='svk pull; svk push'
    alias stunnel='ssh snafu -L2500:snafu:25'
