CREDITS: This package provides extensions for a modified fortune and cowsay 'Sigma' cow file that speak "mathy" quotes and wisdom. The Sigma.cow file contained in this repository may be reproduced and/or copied freely provided that this README remains intact. E-mail the package creator / maintainer at maxieds@gmail.com with questions or suggestions or to contribute your wisdom / cows to the working package database. Sources of the Mathy Quotes (Thanks to Bruce Reznick for Sharing): https://www.math.utah.edu/~cherk/mathjokes.html http://www.sonoma.edu/Math/faculty/falbo/jokes.html PREREQUISITES: A working installation of the fortune (fortune-mod) and cowsay utilities are required for this add-on to be of use. On a Debian-based Linux box (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.), these packages can be installed by running the following commands: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install cowsay fortunes fortune-mod fortunes-off Other fortune-modded packages are found by issuing: $ apt-cache search fortune $ apt-cache search cowsay To install these utilities on Mac OSX, consult the following link: https://gist.github.com/evnm/1308428. Installation on any Windows variant is considered experimental and is unsupported. DOWNLOADING AND PACKAGE INSTALLATION: You need a working directory containing the files in the GitHub repository https://github.com/maxieds/math-fortune-mod.git: => math.fortunes => Sigma.cow => install.sh => README (this document) You can either copy each of these files directly from the web repository, or alternately, automate the process by running the following command from your favorite terminal: $ git clone https://github.com/maxieds/math-fortune-mod.git $ cd math-fortune-mod Next, the fortune and cow files are installed by running the provided install script (requires superuser privileges to copy the files into /usr/share/*): $ sudo /bin/bash install.sh The install script adds a line to your working ~/.bashrc file that will print a Sigma-symbol-spoken math joke or quote whenever you (re)start the terminal (try typing: $ source ~/.bashrc). Additionally, you can run the math fortune mod manually by issuing: $ /usr/games/fortune math.fortunes | /usr/games/cowsay -f Sigma For example, ________________________________________ / A statistician is someone who is good \ | with numbers but lacks the personality | \ to be an accountant. / ---------------------------------------- \ \ -/////////////////: +mMMMMMddddddddddMM .omMMMh-` +d `+dMMMy:` `/dMMMh/` `:hMMMd/ `hMMh: `/hNh:` `/dNy-` `+mMy-` :s `omMMdsooooooooyNM /mMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM -:::::::::::::::::: _______________________________________ / TRIVIAL: \ | | | If I have to show you how to do this, | \ you're in the wrong class. / --------------------------------------- \ \ -/////////////////: +mMMMMMddddddddddMM .omMMMh-` +d `+dMMMy:` `/dMMMh/` `:hMMMd/ `hMMh: `/hNh:` `/dNy-` `+mMy-` :s `omMMdsooooooooyNM /mMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM -::::::::::::::::::
