foss… at night!

Scenes from an open source lab… at 10:30pm:

22:37:10 sutula: taggart: apt-get source cron ?   :)
22:38:27 dannf: taggart: $()
22:38:40 andrew: my guess is that you need to escape them at least once.
22:38:48 taggart: dannf: I thought about using that, but didn't know how
22:38:51 achiang: doesn't anyone in this lab sleep?
22:39:18 taggart: dannf: I just do $(date +%Y%m%d) ?
22:39:28 taggart: achiang: the second shift is starting :P
22:39:32 dannf: taggart: yes, and you can put it in double quotes if you want
22:39:38 achiang: taggart: ooh, that's union talk!
22:40:00 andrew: still, if it is something really complicated -- as sutula says, a script is better
22:41:12 aw: achiang: we get to work on the fun stuff now
22:41:58 achiang: aw: ha, not me. i'm still dorking with kdump. :(
22:42:04 aw: euw
22:42:49 taggart: dannf: ok trying it, we'll see if it blows up the next time the cronjob runs
22:43:42 achiang: med_wfh: it's on my list of things TODO in my Copious Spare Time
22:44:07 med_wfh: heh.
22:44:24 * med_wfh is considerign sleeping in his copious spare time. been a longish day

For those keeping score at home, that’s 7 people up and doing work, at a company with a $116B market cap.
