| rwp | plasma41, I appreciate the citation in the X startup but really the authoritative source is in the source itself, which is a small number of shell scripts. | 02:30 |
|---|---|---|
| rwp | +1. The UNIX Programming Environment is one of the truly excellent works. | 02:31 |
| rustytaco | Funny you meaned the cal command, as i was just noticing i didnt have it installed earlier (: | 02:52 |
| rustytaco | mentioned | 02:52 |
| rustytaco | i stumbled across 'ccal' package, it's quite offensive | 02:54 |
| fsmithred | I apologize. I thought you were exaggerating. | 03:00 |
| fsmithred | it even lingers like a bad taste | 03:01 |
| rwp | I use the cal command quite often. It's one of the old commands. But it very cooly tries to work for all time. Try "cal September 1752" for example. Transition from Julian to Gregorian calendar. | 03:02 |
| rustytaco | rwp: what package it lives in? | 03:11 |
| Xenguy | ncal | 03:13 |
| Xenguy | ? | 03:13 |
| rustytaco | Ah thanks | 03:14 |
| Xenguy | np | 03:14 |
| rustytaco | its previously just...been there (: | 03:14 |
| Xenguy | Maybe it's a default install; the package lists as 'optional', so not sure | 03:16 |
| rwp | cal used to be in the bsdmainutils package and was split apart and into the new ncal package at some point. So used to be there if the bsd utils were installed, but not now. | 04:03 |
| Xenguy | huh, interesting | 04:09 |
| Xenguy | Cos we all need 'pom' you know, oh yes we do | 04:09 |
| Xenguy | $ pom | 04:10 |
| Xenguy | The Moon is Full | 04:10 |
| Xenguy | ^^ I told you we needed it | 04:10 |
| davesp | Afdal: Regarding "I don't really like to keep all my binaries in my home directory", if they're really just for your user ID, "~/bin" could work, and if they're intended for all users on your system, "/usr/local/bin" is an option (per "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard"). | 23:14 |
| Afdal | I don't really like to keep all my binaries in my home or system files* :) | 23:14 |
| davesp | What would be your preference? | 23:15 |
| Afdal | thinks scattered all over the place :D | 23:16 |
| yeti | bonsais in /opt | 23:56 |
