Out of curiosity and the perfectionist in me, I “had” to print a line of text in the output inside a BASH shell script. I didn’t really want to split them into multiple echo statements since it’s a waste of space and actually harder to read for me. The first thing I tried was:
> echo “Line1\nLine2″ # Line1\nLine2
That clearly didn’t work out so well… so I thought maybe my Mac (OS X 10.5.7) likes ‘\r\n’ more:
Changed from ‘Code Monkey’ to ‘One Giant Robot After Another’! Where did I get the inspiration from? Well, I initially really liked ThoughtBot’s blog, Giant Robot Smashing Into Other Giant Robots, but copying them would be boring and probably not make those guys very happy. However, I recently came across some articles about a couple of giant robots being built in Japan on Gizmodo: a giant Gundam (done building) and Tetsujin (under construction). For the lack of better naming schemes, I just took the sequential order of how the robots are built as the new name, literally ‘One Giant Robot After Another’.
If for some reason you’ve ran into a situation where you want to downgrade your iPhone’s OS but iTunes just won’t comply with your command, I’ve found that there’s an easy way to force the action:
Finally finished setting up my site and basic wordpress installation! It took me awhile just to settle on the combination of hosting and domain registrar. In the end, I decided to go with Site5.com for the hosting and GoDaddy for domain. Site5 is currently (and has been) promoting 25% discount but it’s not hard to find the 26% discount if you look just a little bit harder. The promotion code I used to get the 26% discount was ‘BPJOBBRD’.
So what’s my impression of Site5 so far? Not bad at all actually! I was initially a little suspicious of their offer of unlimited bandwidth and storage as it’s usually a recipe for disaster as hosting companies will try to overcrowd their server with clients just to make up for the margin. However, the highest load I’ve seen so far on my server is a mere 1.5, very respectable considering they claim to have ‘cat /proc/cpuinfo’ reveals they have 8 cores on the machine.
