an interesting approach to finding a life partner<\/a> , summmary: "There is a sad truth to the world today. I am part of a dying breed of people known as "shell users." … Because there are fewer and fewer of us, I must help keep our lineage alive. I am looking for someone to help me do this. I need a woman (obviously) who is willing to raise a child with me in the method of Unix."."<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOh that poor kid…<\/p>\n
Look…I’ve been a computer geek since microcomputers first started appearing on the shelves. I earn my living coding, and designing somewhat complex software systems. I didn’t start out in Unix, but DOS, and I spent many years before Windows wielding a command prompt, thinking nothing of jamming complex dos commands together in order to do something I needed doing. These days with Linux I can #!\/bin\/sh to my heart’s content. but trust me, you just plain don’t want to know what I know about DOS batch file programming. And I really don’t think I need more geekiness in my life, thank you. Two of us under the same roof would be too much.<\/p>\n
I’m not looking for a Luddite by any means. But a boyfriend who knows there is life somewhere offline too, and who would rather spend his time there, would be helpful. In friendship you want your reflection. In love you want your complement.<\/p>\n
