I Made Myself a BASH Greeter the Right Way

Posted on 3rd February 2011 in Something Daily

I am in a state of exhausted delirium right now, or maybe it’s delirious exhaustion. As a result, I decided to make myself a Terminal greeter that tells me a true statement every time I log in to BASH. I coded it in about half an hour just a few minutes ago, with great results. Some I’ve gotten so far are “robots are sick”, “cyborgs are most bitchin’”, “dolphins are the bomb”, “SNES games are nifty”, and “pizzas are radical”. It just picks a random noun and a random adjective, with the occasional modifier and the ultra-rare super secret sentence extension (it’s “to the MAXX”). Also, for some reason, I was in the mood to come up with rhyming couplets based on the ends of my sentences; I’ll tweet them @EmmettButler when I come up with them. My favorite is

I’m a jerkface in the workplace
I keep all my shirts in a shirt case

A good evening.

If I were choosing a movie to watch as the world was ending, I’d have to go with “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

Glamour shot, activate!
