Having just finished my PB+J (Jif and grape) sandwich, I had to share this comic Shane sent me months ago. It was on my MacBook Pro and I forgot all about it until I backed it up last week before dusting it and re-installing Leopard on it.

Anyway, this comic totally made me LOL (for real!). You’ll have to be using that thing called the CLI (command line interface) in either UNIX (you OSX users) or Linux to get this. I can’t tell you how many times a day I try to do something on my Mac in Terminal and I get the dreaded “you’re not important enough for me to listen to” error. It’s almost to the point I’m prefacing every command with sudo now. Ya, I know, dangerous, but it still prompts for the password at least.

Enjoy the joke and if you know if more geeky jokes like this, let me know in the comments.

Geeks love command line interfaces. Why? It’s just faster and much more powerful than a GUI. It’s what drives the popularity behind Quicksilver for the Mac (an CLI friendly operating system…sorry Windows users.) Well, SvenOnTech has a treat for you geeks that also love Google. Introducing the Google CLI. Via this CLI, you’ll be able to create fast and furious searches tapping into all of the various Google search categories such as images, maps, local, and good ‘ol Froogle. Like any good CLI, you can pass multiple variables to Google via your string to create a well defined search. The only gotcha is that you’ll have to use the Google CLI web site for this great tool as there is no what to do this directly on Google’s site. API (geeks know what that means.) Enjoy.
