Journal The Great Wakka's Journal: Anti-Quickies 2

What's an Anti-Quickie? It's the reverse of a quickie. Instead of providing useless factoids, it's designed to draw useless factoids.

CLX! I've been developing with Borland Kylix, and I have some weird problems, like it won't compile due to something like TForm Not Found. Why?
Martian Death Flu! I had a horrible diesase recently. The severity of it changes from hour to hour, but syntoms have included: headache, eye pain, coughing, runny nose, chills, fever, and sinus pain. What is it?
Slashdot Journal! What's up with it? Why can't I use all the different topic icons?
Sluggy Freelance! It's a great comic strip! http://www.sluggy.com . Some of the more recent series are either (a) unfunny or (b) way too sophisiticated for the average American. .bash_unified! I'm expermenting with a way to reduce the number of files. So I created a file called .bash_unified and linked .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc. to it. Works great! Anyone heard of any similar projects?

That's all the Anti-Quickies we have for today, folks! Got some? Comment below!

  • I'm sorry, but all your questions are interesting and/or useful. If you want to do legitimate anti-quickies, you're going to have to try harder -- or maybe try less hard.

    CLX: post your source and I'll try to help. Better yet, tar up all your project files and put them in a public URL.

    MDF: It's a Jewish conspiracy to make people consume more chicken soup. Being Jewish myself, I'm allowed to say things like that.

    Icons: Rob giveth, Rob taketh away. Blessed be the Taco Man.

    SLF: Being a total prevert, I prefer Sexy Losers [sexylosers.com].

    Startup script grand unification: Been there, done that. It's a losing battle.

    • The program is simple enough to be reproduced quite easily, and I did so.

      It works now. Apparently the project files were corrupted.

      Public URL? Does that require webspace?

      And what's such a losing battle with unified startup scripts? Seems to work fine with me.
