07:56:23 PMoldsalt JeffWeston, Hi
07:57:27 PMlichenx1 Thanks GoodGuy98
07:59:38 PMJeffWeston Hey oldsalt
08:01:33 PMalbertr lvs command? RobbieF
08:01:35 PMGoodGuy98 welcome
08:01:47 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: pvdisplay?
08:04:03 PMalbertr df -h
08:05:40 PMrevdjenk noooooooo
08:07:09 PMSparklyballs wiping out windows is no bad thing though
08:07:41 PMGoodGuy98 I use a shareware boot manager called BootIT Bare Metal
08:07:54 PMrevdjenk LOL
08:08:06 PMrevdjenk thanks
08:08:12 PMGoodGuy98 It may allow you to share a volume with Windows
08:08:31 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF - I have a question
08:08:46 PMKelseyJ Yes?
08:08:59 PMUSSROVER good show :)
08:08:59 PMrevdjenk it is a partial answer, thanks RobbieF
08:09:03 PMGoodGuy98 I used to be a mainframe programmer and used a program named Info Select on the PC
08:09:13 PMUSSROVER http://ussrover.byethost33.com/tech/index.html to get my file of computer/tech shows
08:09:19 PMalbertr thanks for the show ;^)
08:09:23 PMGoodGuy98 It allowed me to write random notes full of commandfs etc
08:09:41 PMGoodGuy98 It auto indexed every character of a note
08:09:59 PMGoodGuy98 Windows software.. any Linux program like that
08:10:06 PMGoodGuy98 Search you can search it
08:10:28 PMGoodGuy98 I could make a note with LVM commands
08:10:51 PMUSSROVER ? what other shows do you do (links & times)
08:10:56 PMGoodGuy98 a tear later I could type LV and it would display notes with LV at lease
08:11:14 PMGoodGuy98 It indexes every character of every note
08:11:42 PMGoodGuy98 later I could type a character and it eliminates every note without LV
08:11:57 PMalpeck sounds like grep
08:11:58 PMlichenx1 oh like lazy searching?
08:12:01 PMrevdjenk would this help GoodGuy98 http://linux.about.com/od/softpim/?rd=1
08:12:03 PMSparklyballs manual man pages ?
08:12:10 PMGoodGuy98 add another chacter and it would only display notes with LVM in it
08:12:36 PMrd_blair make your own manual page?
08:12:49 PMGoodGuy98 Info Select is a PIM
08:13:12 PMGoodGuy98 It was like having a photograpic memory
08:13:32 PMrevdjenk didn't record
08:13:34 PMrevdjenk ?
08:14:08 PMlichenx1 lazy search!
08:14:18 PMGoodGuy98 http://www.miclog.com/software/Misc/is10overview.html
08:14:31 PMalpeck show us RobbieF
08:14:52 PMalpeck Haha
08:15:01 PMlichenx1 IM ON SCREEN
08:15:18 PMlichenx1 lol
08:15:26 PMGoodGuy98 It stores notes and indexes every character and word as you enter the note
08:15:40 PMGoodGuy98 You could make a note of LVM commands
08:15:53 PMalpeck sounds like grep
08:16:12 PMGoodGuy98 and a year later you could enter LVM and it would show every note with LVM anywhere in it
08:16:43 PMGoodGuy98 It does way more than that, but I used that part
08:17:55 PMGoodGuy98 When the mainframe console was backing up because a log was full, there is a command to clear it and save a reboot
08:17:58 PMrevdjenk GoodGuy98: did you see my post above with a listing of linux PIMs
08:18:06 PMrevdjenk http://linux.about.com/od/softpim/?rd=1
08:18:10 PMRobbieF Thanks everyone!
08:18:18 PMalpeck there is a file which contains command line history but i think it only covers current session
08:18:20 PMrevdjenk bye RobbieF great show
08:18:23 PMRobbieF Thanks :)
08:18:24 PMGoodGuy98 I used the command once a year or less, so hard to recall it under pressure
08:18:39 PMalpeck bye everyone
08:18:51 PMRobbieF USSROVER go to https://theshowshow.tv and click the Category5 TV menu for info about other shows.
08:18:57 PMGoodGuy98 I stored the word Clear Console backlog and the actual command in a note
08:19:06 PMUSSROVER ty
08:19:13 PMrevdjenk well, off to take out trash and then All About Android, twit.tv
08:19:44 PMUSSROVER depending on show it determine if it gets put on list :)
08:19:46 PMGoodGuy98 Next year I needed it and entered the characters "backl".. it showed just the note with "backl" in it
08:20:00 PMGoodGuy98 Found the info within a few seconds
08:20:05 PMUSSROVER so far I like show it is full of good info
08:20:34 PMGoodGuy98 I liked the software so much I paid for it myself
08:20:54 PMGoodGuy98 and IS isn't that cheap
08:21:25 PMUSSROVER heading out thanks again
08:21:25 PMGoodGuy98 I used it 15+ years ago, so it likely costs more these days
08:21:33 PMGoodGuy98 Night USSROVER
08:21:39 PMRobbieF cheers USSROVER
08:21:42 PMRobbieF welcome! ;)
08:22:14 PMUSSROVER for those that download my file if you have problems email in file

08:23:38 PMUSSROVER later
08:25:33 PMGoodGuy98 $245.00 for a new user copy - upgrade $159.00
08:25:53 PMGoodGuy98 Guess that's why I didnt upgrade lol
08:36:50 PMGoodGuy98 https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/best-linux-alternative-to-windows-program-info-select-641722/
08:37:13 PMGoodGuy98 That article describes it better than I can lol
