I thought I'd try a little distraction with an anagram for a change! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

It did distract me initially because I could see Cymru in my country - then I thought, he wouldn't do that ? oh yes he would Big Grin | :-D

I did ponder Wales to Whales for a sec but decided to try the anagram route first. Good thing I did. Otherwise I'd have been fishin' in a dry hole for a while. But, Crymu would have completely eluded me. You learn all kinds of weird trivia working the CCC.

(Well, not to say Crymu is weird) ... mmmm, maybe I am. Laugh | :laugh:

Cymru is the Welsh word for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yes. I googled it after reading your previous post - and learned a new thing. So, if you try to use it in a clue now, I'm on to it! Poke tongue | ;-P

Long ago I had to use VI during a course on a XENIX[^] system, it was a "memorable" experience $Shucks | :-\$

I use vim sometimes to edit config files in my Fedora machine... For my simple needs it is easy and much better/faster/accessible than gedit...

I use nano, with a lot of that heritage, for simple editing on my server which doesn't run a GUI.

After a brief foray in the Linux world, I decided I'm getting too old for that and will stick to using Windows and Notepad++. $Shucks | :-\$

It's been a long time, but I used VI about 30 years ago, during the time when we had Unix-based workstations for development. If I remember correctly, ESC :q! will discard all your edits! To commit them first, it'd be ESC :wq! So it's actually a demonic parody of the KJV. Big Grin | :-D

From Szurkefarkas's reply:

Quote:
This inspired me to ask the following from ChatGPT:
Write a biblical verse satire in the style of the Monthy Python and the Holy Grail's Holy Hand Grenade scene that explains how to exit Vim:

And the programmer didst cry out, saying, "How do I exit this cursed Vim?"

And lo, there came a voice from the heavens, saying, "Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt type these words: 'ESC' key, followed by ':', and then 'q!'. This shall exit thee from Vim and free thee from its clutches."

But the programmer didst protest, saying, "But what if I accidentally hit 'wq' instead of 'q!' and save my changes?"

And the voice from the heavens replied, "Then thou art truly screwed, my child." And with that, the programmer didst throw down his keyboard in frustration and weep bitterly.
