Evening all,<br>
<br>
I'm glad that people found the talk worth attending, particularly in
light of how co-operative my laptop was being that night! I'd
actually like to add my own thanks to the audience for taking an
active part in the presentation: It's very hard to give a talk to a
roomful of silent listeners, so I enjoyed giving the talk a lot more
because people were throwing in questions and comments. So thanks to
all present for that.<br>
<br>
For those who didn't attend but might have liked to, I've finally
managed to get a transcription of the talk up on my blog, so if you
can face reading it you can find it at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2011/05/27/heart-of-linux">http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2011/05/27/heart-of-linux</a>
- there are also a few of the scripts I use for my dual-monitor
setup and a little more info on setting up things like screen and
bash.<br>
<br>
As far as emails go, my address is at the top of thise one,
obviously :) I'm more than happy to answer questions, but I'll throw
in a caveat that if you think the answer might be useful to others,
put the question on the list instead of emailing just me - that way
you stand a chance of getting a better answer than I might give, and
other people might learn something too. It is a Linux mailing list,
after all ;)<br>
<br>
I'm delighted to hear that people have been spurred on to use the
comamnd line (violently or otherwise :) since the event - that was
exactly what I hoped for, so I count it as a big win that I managed
to acheive it.<br>
<br>
Enjoy the long weekend, all!<br>
<br>

Fay!
<div>Do you by chance have Diminic's e-mail

let me have it please. I have a number of

<div id="yiv1601459503">It was very
interesting from start to finish.
Thank you, Dominic.<br>
<br>
It was nice to see a new face at the
moot - welcome to Paul Willis, from
Rustington LUG, introduced by Frank
James. With Alex that made seven of
us.<br>
<br>
I took away lots of little commands,
and especially enjoyed the demo of the
screen command. I'll be using the
caption facility regularly from now
on.<br>
<br>
Dominic gave Frank and me a screen
command file to make coloured, tabbed
captions at the foot of the console,
numbered so as to switch easily
between them.<br>
<br>
.screenrc:<br>
############################################<br>
# An alternative hardstatus to display
a bar at the bottom listing the<br>
# windownames and highlighting the
current windowname in blue. (This is
only<br>
# enabled if there is no hardstatus
setting for your terminal)<br>
caption always<br>
caption string "%{.gb}%-w%(.rW}%n
%t%{-}%+w %=%{..G} %u"<br>
hardstatus string "yourname (%n %t)"<br>
<br>
# Turn off the splash screen<br>
startup_message off<br>
############################################xx<br>
<br>
This works well on my Eee PC, which
had screen installed but didn't have a
.screenrc.<br>
<br>
However, on my main machine there is
already a lengthy .screenrc, and
although I appended the new code and
checked for earlier conflicting
commands, it puts an extraneous
"(.rW)" before the caption. Still
works just as well. I've been
practising the other screen commands.<br>
<br>
I've yet to implement the other CLI
bits and bobs.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the talk.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
