Need help naming this Linux cartoon

Hi All,

I am desperate to find this online cartoon (or at least the name of it) from the early 2000's.

It was about a bunch of farm yard animals working in a UNIX-dominated IT office in various IT roles (Penguins were the Linux administrators, squirrels were web-designers - I think - etc ...).

The general theme was poking fun at UNIX quirks, WIndows monopolies, IT stereotypes, etc ...

It was written by a young couple.

I think the name had "oodles" or "doodles" or "bubbles" or similar in the title??

Uhm, that's about all I remember.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

Naming conventions for shared libraries in Linux

Hello, I'm wondering what is the naming conventions for *.so shared libraries in linux. For example, a library in /lib, say libcrypt-2.7.so has a symbolic link called libcrypt.so.1 pointing to it, yet libncursesw.so.5.6 has a symbolic link called libncursesw.so.5 pointing to it. What is the...

Looking for cartoon

Hey, I was just reminded to something: Years ago I have seen a cartoon, maybe dilbert-style?, with a couple of nerds talking. The title was "Computer-people probably aliens?" and the guys were saying all kinds of unix-commands with funny sounds, like gawk, grep, sed, awk and so on. Does...

pnmindex

pnmindex(1)						      General Commands Manual						       pnmindex(1)

NAME

       pnmindex - build a visual index of a bunch of anymaps

SYNOPSIS

       pnmindex [-size N] [-across N] [-colors N] [-black] [-title T] [-quant|-noquant] pnmfile ...

DESCRIPTION

       pnmindex creates an index image containing thumbnail (small) versions of a bunch of PNM files you supply.

       pnmindex labels each thumbnail and, optionally, contains a title.

OPTIONS

       -size N
	      The  size  of  each  thumbnail.	The  image  is scaled to fit maximally inside a N x N pixel box without changing its aspect ratio.
	      Default is 100.

       -across N
	      The number of thumbnails in each row.  Default is 6.

       -colors N
	      The maximum number of colors allowed in the overall image.  If it would otherwise have more colors than  these,  pnmindex  quantizes
	      the result.  The default is 256.

	      However, this value is meaningless if you specify the -noquant option.

       -black This  controls  the  color  of the padding between the images; normally it's white and the labels are black lettering on white back-
	      ground, but the -black flag reverses this.

       -title title
	      Specifies a title top place at the top of the image.  Default is no title.

       -quant Enables quanization (to the number of colors specified by -colors ).  Quantization is on by default but  you  can  disable  it  with
	      -noquant.

       -noquant
	      See -quant.
