Bet kev didn't think of that! Or did he.
[16:47:45] <bigkevmcd> I'm gonna propose a new slot for SLUG meetings
[16:47:50] <bigkevmcd> meet my tool ;)
[16:47:59] <CelticTodd> wtf!!!!
[16:48:03] <bigkevmcd> where someone talks about an obscure, or overlooked linux tool
[16:48:13] <bigkevmcd> (rsync springs to mind)
[16:48:24] <CelticTodd> oh, _that_ kind of tool :-)
[16:48:30] <bigkevmcd> nothing more than 15mins
[16:48:39] <CelticTodd> Yes, that would be a good idea.
[16:48:53] <CelticTodd> But change the name ffs.
[16:48:58] <bigkevmcd> if we got a couple of 'em a month, it'd fill out time and maybe
interesting
[16:49:14] <bigkevmcd> nothing wrong with "Meet My Tool"
[16:49:21] <CelticTodd> Yes, it really is a good idea.
[16:49:53] <bigkevmcd> perhaps someone could do a talk about tar (and the less obvious
uses)
[16:49:57] <bigkevmcd> I can't think of that many
[16:50:01] <bigkevmcd> but...I'm sure others can
[16:50:12] <CelticTodd> wget springs to mind
[16:50:15] <CelticTodd> ssh
[16:50:40] <bigkevmcd> yup
[16:50:49] <CelticTodd> probably plenty ppeople don't even know grep
[16:51:06] <CelticTodd> find
[16:51:59] <CelticTodd> With kde/gnome many linux newbies probably don't even know the
command line.
[16:52:08] <bigkevmcd> exactly
[16:52:12] <bigkevmcd> find's a real beaut
[16:52:21] <CelticTodd> A talk on pipes would work well
[16:52:40] <CelticTodd> cut
[16:53:08] <bigkevmcd> I'm putting the e-mail together
[16:53:21] <CelticTodd> change the name!!!
[16:55:51] <bigkevmcd> naa...there's some great double entendre material in that name
;)
[16:56:02] <CelticTodd> ok
cheers
Lawrence
