  • Also, I am not sure you can automatically expect the output of the find command to be assigned to the file variable. I would output the find command to a temp file, and then grab the filenames one by one from the file and then put that in a do/done loop. Eg:

    find ./ -type f \( -iname \*.jpg -o -iname \*.png \) > yourtempfile.tmp    
    for file in `cat yourtempfile.tmp`     
    do     
        echo "in loop"    
        echo "$file"    
    ....     
    done
    

    Here are some results I got when it ran:

    in loop
    ./Figs_XSR900.JPG
    ‘.’/‘Figs_XSR900.JPG’
    Renaming ./Figs_XSR900.JPG to ./356bb549-d25c-4c9b-a441-f8175f963c8c
    in loop

  • Personal computers were only just starting to become common. The Apple Macintosh launched in 1984, the IBM PC a few years before. There was no Microsoft Windows, no Linux. If you didn’t type your paperwork yourself, most large workplaces had a typing pool to do it for you

    I was given a failing grade in school because I used a computer to type an essay and print it. Dot matrix gave me away. It was considered cheating back then. My Dad was so pissed he went and bought a letter quality printer so that the teacher couldn’t tell that it wasn’t typed.








  • Damn english. Yeah I can see how that was a way to read it. I meant that they stepped out of the room one time, and I tickled the little guys feet. Who wouldn’t want to tickle a baby’s cute little feet. They never saw me, and I never told them I did it. Now if I was an asshole, I would be telling them what I did, now that he is older and doesn’t stutter, trying to use it to prove them wrong. But I would never bring it up, and only brought it up here because I can remain mostly anonymous so they will never find out.


  • I tickled his feet one time when they were out of the room and they have no idea it happened. Maybe I wrote that the wrong way, but I have never gone against their wishes otherwise, and I damn sure wouldn’t do it right in front of them. You are blowing this way out of proportion. I only gave out information pertinent to the topic of the thread, and since I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, I really don’t understand your point here. What are you trying to accomplish by judging me with a single paragraph of my story? Would you like me to add in the part where, when my kids were young their mom walked out on all of us and left us standing in a driveway as she drove off. I had three young kids that I had to take inside, feed, get them ready for bed, then get them up the next morning and get them to school and daycare, then get myself to work. You are trying to portray me as some gigantic asshole who doesn’t respect my kids. I love my kids and grandkids, and no matter what you say or read off your Jump To Conclusions Mat™ will change that. I have always been there for them, end of story. This has been interesting, but I am done here.







  • I really don’t want to push things too far with them, but so far I haven’t really been able to hold my grandkids except for very brief periods and even then there are rules. No kissing them on the hands or face, the aforementioned no tickling their feet. They don’t really seem to be up to letting me watch the grandkids at any point, even though I raised my son and his siblings just fine.

    The discipline seems to be completely missing, and I had a talk with my son and he attributed it to wanting to stop generational trauma. What the fuck does that even mean? I took it as though he is trying to say he had a bad childhood. But I had a great childhood, and I would say he did too as far as things like not having any abuse in the house, etc. So how far back does one need to go to round up some trauma. Maybe they are talking about his gf’s family? I guess I will have to sit down with him again and see what exactly he means by that.
