ok, so i typo a lot. but today, i found a great tool thanks to my clumsy fingers.

i was trying to check the date in a backgrounded rxvt session where i couldn't see the command line.

Here's what i got:

[dkg@squeak ~]$ ddate Today is Sweetmorn, the 47th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3171 [dkg@squeak ~]$

On further review:

[dkg@squeak ~]$ man ddate | head Reformatting ddate(1), please wait... DDATE(1) Emperor Norton Utilities DDATE(1)


NAME

       ddate - converts Gregorian dates to Discordian dates
SYNOPSIS

       ddate [+format] [date]

[dkg@squeak ~]$

Just one more reason i love debian

And I never knew I was a Discordian. I especially like Chao as the singular of chaos, as in Holy Chao.
