Sure signs that you're a UNIX geek
|
- When buying a pooter, you tell them they can keep their Micros~1 Winhoze
- Mailing list management is easy:
echo "subscribe maillist" | mail majordomo@foo.com
echo "unsubscribe maillist" | mail majordomo@foo.com
- You use the
mail program for interactive mail
- You use
foo and bar every day
- You read
gcc(1) command lines out loud
- You can pronounce the following:
gcc -O2 -DBROKEN_FGETS -DSYSV -DDAMN_OPENWIN -c -o fgets.o fgets.c
- You wish there WERE a DAMN_OPENWIN #define
- You force CAPS to be an additional CTRL in X
- You've disabled CAPS permanently
- ... by cutting the traces to the key
- ... and gluing the switch down
- ... even though you don't use X
- ... because you don't use X
- You use
-DDIRENT_ILLEGAL_ACCESS regularly
- ... on purpose
- ... and know what it does
- You have _Santa Claus is coming to town_ as UNIX commands posted in your cube
- You dream in bash or use
for i in $HOURS; do sleep 3600; done
- You use vi
- ... even though there're other, single-mode, editors available
- ... and you think that EMACS stands for Eventually
malloc() 's All Computer Storage
- ... you use
ex
- ... ...
ed
- ... ...
red
- ... ...
te
- You never talk about a function without including the
() (like dgets() )
- You underline text like _this_ instead of using underlining facilities
- You have written a mailer in bash because they don't have elm or mutt
- You use globbing, regexps or programming on a chat (like irc):
/me hugs {leia,tapey}
for i in *; do /me hugs $i; done
s/plucjy/plucky/
- You utilize EMACS to its fullest potential by feeding lines of IRC to its
M-x doctor mode
- When you're bored, you cat random files to /dev/audio to see what they sound like
- You're asked to find a pencil, and immediately think:
find / -name 'pencil' -print | less
- Your mailer is
elm
- ... a shell script you wrote, because they don't have elm
- ...
cat $MAIL is your mail reader, and cat > is how you send mail
- To send short notes, you use
sendmail -bs
- ... to hell with
sendmail -bs , you use telnet target 25 and type the commands and headers in
- Your idea of package management involves only
cp and rm
- You use
m4 to write config files
- ... term papers
- ... email
- ... ... and also
gcc -E that
- ... your resume
- ... you find
dnl somehow amusing
- You know about
sendmail.cf
- ... and modify it
- ... add your own rewrite rules
- ... without using
m4 , but by hand
- ... ... from memory
- ... and greet folks with
defocus
- The following is either a .sig or header stuffing:
X-Brain: "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
X-Pinky: "Um... I thinkso, Brain, but if it were Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping, wouldn't you want more RAM?
gcc -shared -o libspottie.so.4 -Wl,-soname,spottie spot.o harf.o naf.o \
spotspeak.o grape.o bmuh.o flipspot.o corn.o eureka.o damnsoup.o bitespot.o \
aie.o dtyallp.o qascork.o
ln -s libspottie.so libspottie.so.4
gcc -o spot stuff.o rl.o pleugh.o spot_main.o ducttape.o -L. -lspottie -lm -lz
