Rants

More behind my pissed off self. My phone went off this morning with Mom asking me about a shopping run. I wanted to sleep, so I hung up the phone saying "I didn't want to go." Then it goes off with 5 text messages from the same person, and all were seperated by 3.5 minutes. Bleah. I played her game. Played online, got a bit done with wolfshighpriest. Watched Clone Wars, the cartoon series by Cartoon Network. Got a call from an old high school friend asking about what I've got planned today. Bleah. She came over, and paid me for "renting my room" so she and her girlfriend could yiff. No objections, I got money.

Then came downstairs. A few hours passed. The couple who borrowed my room came downstairs, and I told them about my most recent situation of being single, bringing me into tears. Mom was on the phone with the bank a while later, and my sister passes through the living room. She starts whining at us, saying "I'm lonely" and being a bitch about it. She threatened to run away, and AFAIK hasn't so far. I wanted to use her as a punching bag, and my mother said no. Then Dad comes home, and I mention my Unix lab, saying "I didn't learn a damned thing and the man pages are incomprehensible." mdlbear says "Read them more carefully." Over my dead body! I hate Unix.....and this class is just triggering more loathing hate for the system. I want to drop this, because I see it as useless. I took this fucking class because of my damned father being an ass and pressuring me to take it! That's the only reason why I'm taking it! Fucking hell!

I swear, I hate Unix.........

Man pages are designed to only make sense to Unix Geeks (tm).

I noticed. And I'm the daughter of one, not one of them.

Errr...no

Man pages are not designed to make sense to ANYBODY.

It's just UNIX geeks who can understand them.

It's like learning a foreign language, except that the people who know it aren't friendly and helpful to novices.

I know just enough command line to do what I need done, and puzzle out well-written "HOWTO" guides when necessary.

Don't hate Unix -- that would be like me hating Japanese just because I can't understand it at all. Japanese is still cool. I just will never speak more than a few words.

Someday you may look back and say "Oh! That's what it was to be a proto-Geek!" Or not. Either is OK.

Get Unix in a Nutshell! Very helpful book.

BTW, who's your teacher?
