Its hilarious sometimes what you find trolling identi.ca and twitter. If you’re up for some lolz install the “sl” package:
sudo aptitude install sl
Next time you fat finger your directory listing of “ls” you’ll get a nice little surprise.
(Check out the man page too, its configurable.)
I think this wins the official “This developer has too much free time” award.
Great find. I really loled with this, specially with the -a option. 😀
or add:
alias sl=’ls’
to .bashrc
One of the first things I configure!
This brought my dream of applying sl command to my ‘car (cat) typo’. So I did it 🙂 You can find the patch at my blog
This program was funny for a while… but now I wish it didn’t exist. Because it means that every time I mess up typing ls I have to wait for command-not-found to look up sl in the apt cache and tell me how to install it, instead of just erroring out so I can get back to work.
Eventually, I just gave in and installed it. choo choo.
lol, good for a weekend laugh..
BTW I just now peeked into the source code and found out that I can even pass various cmdline arguments to “sl” ;P
Thanks for sharing
I have had sl installed for quite a while on our community run server. When I begin to see it run a couple of times, I take it as a warning that I’m getting tired and should take a break before I make a worse mistake…
