A kind blog reader suggested a gross hack which rescued my vows. (Cat, strings, and grep should never be a part of the process of the vows, though admittedly in my case it might seem appropriate.) Krissa may marry me (and continue to deal with my operating system) yet.
I’m relieved to hear that.
May future digital and marital mishaps be saved with the grace of arcane but time-tested tools.
was very happy to hear about the recovery, and I hope you can stick w/ your OS. if you can’t, though, you can’t. you’ll be back soon enough ;)
I am sorry Luis, but you completely misunderstood this part: “Cat, strings, and grep should never be a part of the process of the vows”.
These a natural tests applied to your from the Linux kernel to tests your manhood before the marriage. I hacked that feature into the kernel myself – quite tricky to determine that the user is about to be married, but I got it working.
