The Manpage of Man - Part I

January 1st, 2007

<meta content="OpenOffice.org 2.0 (Linux)" name="GENERATOR" /><meta content="Axel Dürkop" name="AUTHOR" /><meta content="20070101;15350400" name="CREATED" /><meta content="Axel Dürkop" name="CHANGEDBY" /><meta content="20070101;16120700" name="CHANGED" /><style type="text/css"> </style>Happy New Year, everybody! Great to have you back at this site. In this episode I’d like to feature a funky group from France called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lagoutteaunez.com/"><em>La Goutte au Nez</em></a>. They release their tunes on CDs that you can buy, but also at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jamendo.com/de/artist/lagoutteaunez/"><em>jamendo.com</em></a>. I chose the title <em>Chicango</em>, which is great to start the day with. For the license have a look at <a target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/">CreativeCommons</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestion, <em>grep</em> is in the process of preparation, but due to the death of a great artist of our times I prefer to read the manpage of <em>man</em> before. It is quite a bit of text, so I split it in two parts and continue with the second one next time.</p> <p>Stay tuned and all the best for 2007! </p> <div class="podPress_content"><div id="podPressPlayerSpace_10728" style="display: block;">Listen Now:<br/> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.podbean.com/wp-content/plugins/podpress/player.swf" width="290" height="24" id="audioplayer8225"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.podbean.com/wp-content/plugins/podpress/player.swf" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=8225&bg=0xF8F8F8&leftbg=0xEEEEEE&text=0x666666&lefticon=0x666666&rightbg=0xCCCCCC&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x666666&righticonhover=0xFFFFFF&slider=0x666666&track=0xFFFFFF&loader=0x9FFFB8&border=0x666666&soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fdryhead.podbean.com%2Fmf%2Fplay%2Ftkzzwb%2Fman_20070101_dryheadpodbeancom_128.mp3" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> </object><br/><br/></div> <a href="http://dryhead.podbean.com/mf/web/tkzzwb/man_20070101_dryheadpodbeancom_128.mp3" target="new"><img src="http://www.podbean.com/wp-content/plugins/podpress/images/audio_mp3_button.png" border="0" align="top" class="podPress_imgicon" alt="icon for podbean" /></a> Standard Podcasts [17:14m]: <a href="javascript:void(null);" onclick="podPressShowHidePlayerDiv('podPressPlayerSpace_10728', 'mp3Player_10728_0', '300:30', 'http://dryhead.podbean.com/mf/play/tkzzwb/man_20070101_dryheadpodbeancom_128.mp3'); return false;"><span id="podPressPlayerSpace_10728_label_mp3Player_10728_0">Play Now</span></a> | <a href="javascript:void(null);" onclick="window.open ('http://dryhead.podbean.com/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_backend.php?podPressPlayerAutoPlay=yes&standalone=yes&action=showplayer&pbid=0&b=2160&id=10728&filename=http://dryhead.podbean.com/mf/play/tkzzwb/man_20070101_dryheadpodbeancom_128.mp3', 'podPressPlayer', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=660,height=360'); return false;">Play in Popup</a> | <a href="http://www.podbean.com/podcast-download?b=2160&f=http://dryhead.podbean.com/mf/web/tkzzwb/man_20070101_dryheadpodbeancom_128.mp3" target="27492">Download</a> | <a href="http://www.podbean.com/podcast-players?b=2160&p=10728&f=http://dryhead.podbean.com/mf/play/tkzzwb/man_20070101_dryheadpodbeancom_128.mp3" target="35432">Embeddable Player</a> | <a>Hits (1557)</a><br/> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">try { document.getElementById('podPressPlayerSpace_10728_label_mp3Player_10728_0').innerHTML='Hide Player'; document.getElementById('podPressPlayerSpace_10728').title = 'mp3Player_10728_0'; } catch(e){}</script></div> </div> <p class="postmetadata" style="text-align:left;">| <a href="http://dryhead.podbean.com/category/manpages/" title="View all posts in Manpages" rel="category tag">Manpages</a> | <a href="http://dryhead.podbean.com/2007/01/01/the-manpage-of-man-part-i/#comments" title="Comment on The Manpage of Man - Part I">4 Comments »</a> | <span id="postfooter"> <a href='http://dryhead.podbean.com/2007/01/01/the-manpage-of-man-part-i/#respond' class='PSR_stars_img' ><img src=/wp-content/systemplugins/post-star-rating/img/stars/full_star.gif style='margin:2px 2px -2px 0px' alt='*'><img src=/wp-content/systemplugins/post-star-rating/img/stars/full_star.gif style='margin:2px 2px -2px 0px' alt='*'><img src=/wp-content/systemplugins/post-star-rating/img/stars/full_star.gif style='margin:2px 2px -2px 0px' alt='*'><img src=/wp-content/systemplugins/post-star-rating/img/stars/full_star.gif style='margin:2px 2px -2px 0px' alt='*'><img src=/wp-content/systemplugins/post-star-rating/img/stars/full_star.gif style='margin:2px 2px -2px 0px' alt='*'></a><a href="http://dryhead.podbean.com/2007/01/01/the-manpage-of-man-part-i/#respond">(1 ratings)</a> | <img src="http://www.podbean.com/images/greyicon_share.gif" style="margin:4px 2px -4px 0px" /><a href="http://www.podbean.com/mail?cid=2160&pid=10728" target="_blank">Email it</a> <br /><br /> </span> </p> </div> <div class="post" id="post-9465"> <h2><a href="http://dryhead.podbean.com/2006/12/22/first-podcast-echo/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to First Podcast - echo">First Podcast - echo</a></h2> <small>December 22nd, 2006 </small> <div class="entry"> <p>Alright, folks, here is a new podcast - mine! Do you need it? You will see. I tell you the story: I spent the last half a year on having my Linux knowledge certified by the Linux Professional Institute, which means: reading manpages, manpages, manpages.</p> <p>Secondly, at the beginning of 2007 I’m going to teach a bunch of young people the advantages of open source software and the benefits of the social web aka web 2.0. Therefore I wanted to be prepared.</p> <p>But what could I blog, what could I podcast? I’m going to read manpages to you! Isn’t that a little bit boring? Well, I had a lot of help from websites dealing with linux, hints and tricks for free, so I think mixed with some music it could be fun to learn some new commands while walking around with the new ipod from Santa Clause…</p> <p>We start right away with the first command: ECHO! I took the song <em>Sandjorda</em> by <a title="Binärpilot" target="_blank" href="http://www.binaerpilot.info/"><em>Binärpilot</em></a> licensed under <a title="CreativeCommons" target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/">CreativeCommons</a> from <a title="jamendo.com" target="_blank" href="http://www.jamendo.com/">jamendo.com</a> and mixed speech and tunes with the help of <a title="Audacity" target="_blank" href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a>. Unfortunately I had to export the final file to mp3, as podbean does not allow the upload of the free ogg-format. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Podbean, here you will have something to do in 2007!</p> <p>Enjoy! </p> <div class="podPress_content"><div id="podPressPlayerSpace_9465" style="display: block;">Listen Now:<br/>
