Oh. I wanted to move out of Cincy the day I moved in, but strangely I've gotten used to it. It took me at least 15 years. -

I'm doing OK. I have a new roommate, which helps me remember that having other people in my life makes things a lot better. -

If there's something I can do when you get here I'd be glad to help. I live roughly at the intersection of I-75 and 275 on the north side. -

There are lots of temp services. I've been having some good hits from head hunters from just posting my resume. -

I've been here. Been off work for a little while and have failed at staying in contact with other people. But trying to rectify that. -

It isn't there in the first place. So no need to remove it. -

I have a big bag. Too bad we haven't invented teleporters. -

Once I just rewrote a script to use 'find | xargs' rather than 'find -exec' and it worked. No idea why. -

I assume you know that you should use full paths to call any executable, but it's worth mentioning. -

If you search for "script doesn't work in crontab" there are some good hits. Often the environment variables need explicitly set. -

You enable non free repos by editing a configuration file and adding them. So if you didn't know how to do that the distro would be FSF free -

No. There is nothing to remove. Unless you want to physically remove all the packages from the servers worldwide. That might cause trouble. -

Is it a BASH script? I've had that problem occasionally where commands work differently from inside a cron job. -

You don't have to disable them. They are already disabled. You have to enable them to use them. -

Hmmm. Looks good here. Either that or my phone is off by the same amount. :) -

Jeff is my common name but not my legal name. I got lucky with that. There are definitely advantages to having a separate online persona. -

Mine is actually a picture of my face. Most people don't know this. -

Guess I've gathered enough experience to feel confident to do a decent sized project without feeling lost. And I have plenty of projects. -

The non-free repos are not enabled by default. Good enough for me, but not for the FSF. -

Very early on Stallman wanted Debian to be the flagship free distro. But they got tired of him telling them what to do. It's free to me.
