About
Hello, my name is Zeth, I'll be your host here.
Command Line Warriors is about taking control of your own technology, it looks at our experiences of computing; especially using GNU/Linux, the Python programming language, the command-line and issues such as techno-ethics, best practices and whatever is cool now. If you take control of your technology then you are a Warrior too!
This site is your site too which means that you can contribute and get involved. You can leave comments using the facility provided. For me, the comments and discussions are by far the best part of the site. So please do have your say!

Hey, sounds good already. There's another Python script for command-line 140-character-messaging (won't call it "tweeting" for obvious reasons), Tweety Py, that's currently languishing. Not, I think, because the developer's disinterested, ...

On a UK keyboard you do alt-gr+[ followed by a to get ä. You don't need the control key at all.

This looks a bit like the history-search-backward function for your ~/.inputrc. Are there any special keys you can use to browse around? And it's a bit inconvenient when you type a sequence that isn't found and get absolutely no feedback. (e.g. what you have typed, or even how many characters) (I guess I should read man bash again)
And that story really made my fear of commitment worse.

I though you would post rather post this quick tip:
sed -ie 's/^sendSMS.*$//' ~/.bash_history

For your friend, I'd suggest this: dump the girl. She messed around on you, dude, drop her like a bad habit. You say you couldn't imagine life without her. I can't imagine a life WITH someone who'd do that. Thing is, you're holding on to an image of who this person is that isn't real. She lied to you and cheated on you. Dump her now before you get hurt worse.

There's also an option to optimize depression with
grep sendSMS ~/.bash_history | favourite_pager

Love is hard. I've been cheated on and dumped her. But at the same time each case is conditional. It depends on the give and take. It also depends on whether you can let this go and NEVER speak of it ever again! NEITHER OF YOU!
It will be a pink elephant that you will have to walk around or you will have to just come out and logically decide to openly scream amnd scream and scream about it and cry until you finally break down laughing about it all. At that point, you have made it through
You're in the middle of the storm and you will reach a calm point in which you can make a decision to go back the way you came alone or whether on together. And you can whether on together as a team and be stronger but it HAS to be a group decision and it has to be 100% by both people.
And if you ever loved her, you already know that the only decision is to forgive her. If she ever loved you, the only decision for her is to beg for forgiveness. And you need to try to find a way to pull yourselves tighter than ever before. Not in a clingy way but in an emotionally connected way.
So that if you do lose her and she loses you. Both of you will always live with a fondness in your hearts for each other rather than a hate that will consume you.

"Ditch the Bitch" is the right advice in this case.
