i have 2 views on the sterotypical advanced computer operator in general.
1) is the definition of dweeb/dork/bookworm/pasty white. (nothig wrong with any of these btw)
2) your avg joe that can have a life outside of the machine. someitmes is a bit sporty, sometimes a bit adventurious.
I am a mix of the two.
i enjoy raceing motorcycles, checkout cars, video games, irc, reading hangin out
the books i tend to read are usually religious/history based.
you know...
christianity
templars
2nd crusade
Delta
navy seals
stuff like that.

NAME
4s, 5s, ana, mandel, plumb, smiley, life, fsim, clock, catclock, fireworks, swar, festoon - time wasters
SYNOPSIS
games/4s
games/5s
games/ana [ fixwords ]
games/mandel
games/plumb [ level ]
games/smiley
games/life startfile
games/fsim
games/clock
games/catclock [ -c ]
games/fireworks
games/swar
games/festoon [ -p ] [ -e ] [ -t ] [ -sseed ] [ len ] [ pfn ]
DESCRIPTION
There are a few games in /bin/games:
4s, 5s Try to fill complete rows using 4-square or 5-square tiles. Move tiles left or right by moving the mouse. Rotate tiles with
buttons 1 and 3. Drop tiles for more points with button 2 or the space bar.
ana Find anagrams for words typed on standard input. Anagrams can contain several dictionary words. The fixwords argument or num-
bers typed on standard input fix the number of words in the output anagrams.
mandel Compute and display Mandelbrot sets. Menus on the mouse buttons control various things.
plumb Build a plumbing system. Keep ahead of the advancing oil and don't waste pipe. The level argument lets you start at a harder
level.
smiley A game of historical importance. Type space to shoot, comma to move left, and period to go right.
life Play the game of life, given an initial position. There is a library of interesting initial positions; the library is consulted
if startfile cannot be found.
fsim Pretend you're flying a Cessna.
clock, catclock
Display analog clocks. Option -c makes catclock crosseyed.
fireworks Hoist the fiery blue peter.
swar Space war for two players called MCI and SPRINT. One player types a or d to turn left or right, s to shoot, x to enter hyper-
space, and w to accelerate. The other player uses ;, l, . and o. AT&T scores whenever either ship shoots itself or otherwise
causes mayhem. Hyperspace is occasionally fatal.
festoon Traditional radical monoarchate qualitativeness. Now produces pictures (-p), tables (-t), and equations (-e). The seed can be
set to recreate a specific document. Len is sentence length, and pfn is percent faked nouns (default 0).
