Hi All,

Pardon the intrusion, but it would be great to get a meeting place organized. The talk of politics is always more fun in person!

Cheers,

Peter

Hi,
Good memory Nick, it was me that started that ls series.. (I was gobsmacked by the ones others found).

It seems that most people do seek the interesting - look at the popularity of the british quiz show QI.

The real reason for the push for "interesting facts only", is that by doing this we make it stand out from the crowd. By doing so, it will attract more interesting facts and get better and better..

Enough said.

what do others think - is it a reasonable requirement to push for "interesting facts only" ?

Even, horror stories on computer maintenance are ok - many like to learn from other's mistakes..


Cheers,
 Derek.

Yep, interesting factoids are good. I liked the series of ls commands
you (I think) posted to the list recently, lscpu etc.

Hi,
  Exactly.

I would say, given the response on the 1e100 thing, that if we push to make
it "interesting", people will come..

Fill it with factoids.
     1001 variants on ls

Did you know that the ~. key sequence, when connected via ssh to a remote
console, will kill the connection?
Thus, if you are sshed to a remote box, and it does go down, you can close
the link without too much pain..


Cheers,
  Derek.
