Geek Anvil (currently geeking...)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

On my Ubuntu box I got "Today is Sweetmorn, the 11th of Chaos, 3178. Wibble."

OMG I'm an idiot.

Looking through the files on the php project I'm working on, I thought it would be a good idea to generate a list of where every function is defined. So...

Code: Select all

find . | xargs grep function > function_list.txt
All was going well until 'find .' found function_list.txt. It had grown to over 4GB before I noticed :oops:

The correct bash command was of course...

Code: Select all

find . -name *.php | xargs grep function > function_list.txt

I supposed it's a different kind of geeking, but I am extremely excited because my local pub has one keg of Dogfish Head 120 IPA, which is a Very Fine Thing. I'll heading there straightaway after work.

Color (or colour) me broken-hearted. They tapped the keg at 5:00 PM, but I had to teach until 7:00. My wife and I got there around 7:30, only to discover they sold out of it in about an hour.

Are Dogfish Head beers available in Europe? I think they make some of the best and most interesting beers of the American craft-brewing scene. Another excellent American craft brewer is Oskar Blues from Colorado. They make a very good IPA called Gub'na, and a knock-you-on-your-ass stout called Ten-Fiddy (because it's 10.5%) that is one of the finest things I've ever tasted.


I've had the Brewdog IPA before. I like it, but don't love it.

I've never seen Dogfish Head in the UK, there's a bar here in Leeds called North that does beers from all over the world (mostly European actually, but they do get US beers sometimes); I'll look out next time I'm in.

IPA can be too hoppy for my taste sometimes; I tend to prefer an English-style bitter (which generally aren't that bitter).

American IPA's will almost certainly not be your thing, then--they're very, very, very hoppy. The unfortunate aspect of developing a taste for them is that nothing else really satisfies you.

Dogfish Head does some very interesting things. They have an Ancient Ales series concocted in concert with an archaeologist at Penn. It attempts to replicate ancient beers based on analysis of chemical residue left behind in various relics which once held beer. They've got a lovely one that they produce all year 'round, called Midas Touch. It's based on a Homeric-era formula. Very interesting, too--it's around 9% ABV, and tastes like a hefeweizen crossed with a muscat dessert wine (minus the sweetness) and spiked with a bit of cumin. Fantastic!

Will do ;)

And if I ever make it to Europe, I will see if I can bring some of the more interesting American stuff with me to share. The last 10 years of American beercraft have been wonderful.
