    Anecdotes 21.01.2009

    Walking by a colleague’s office while he was on a support call, all I heard was:

    Uh huh… and what happens when you put in your cat’s name?

    I say that should be the new motto for our entire support team.

      Cat names have special powers in computer systems. This originates with UNIX “cat” command, sometimes followed by a “tail” command. Then there’s Apple’s various Mac OSs: Panther, Leopard, Tiger.

      For advanced users — with ultrauser permissions — there’s the awesome “MisterMittens” command, particularly as

      mistermittens -h -r -f:2 | cat | tail

      (Do not attempt.)
