157784760 seconds into the future, the trajectory of consistent improvement will adjust ever so slightly.

There is a lot of work to be done. I have never had a consistent web journal prior to this[1] (Well this is not consistent, if you think 2 days is suffice). Always lasted at the most a few months. I wanted to do something concrete and sustainable. I was looking for that “X” factor for many years. I am not sure what I was looking for, nevertheless, I think I have found it.

I.

The personal revolution has begun. Let us imprint fingers on the QWERTY plastique edifices of techno-life. We can prove/improve ourselves. We Can. We Will. We Must.

[1] I transferred all my content from the defunct ‘alfougy.com’. Technically, I started in January. Factually, I started a couple of days ago with this domain.

Starting The Odin Project

December 20, 2017December 20, 2017 Written by Albert

I decided 3 days into my 2nd renaissance to go full-time into The Odin Project. It is a self study curriculum on the path to web development. I have gotten feedback on fellow codebuddies members and they agree that if I put in many hours a day, I would accomplish many feats. I will keep […]

Reflecting the process of re-insertion at 4:20 AM.

February 20, 2017February 20, 2017 Written by Albert

This is a quick note. It’s just pass 4:20 AM and in a few hours, I have to get ready to re-insert myself into the Matrix. Starting at 10:45 AM after a week of rest and reflection, I have to go back to my virtual reality as Thomas Anderson for 8.5 hours. I feel like it […]

grep Command for a specific string excluding subset string

November 4, 2018November 4, 2018 Written by Albert

grep -rnw “superlists.settings” -e “DJANGO_SETTINGS” Explanation of flags:

 -r, --recursive
              Read all files under each directory, recursively, following
              symbolic links only if they are on the command line.  Note
              that if no file operand is given, grep searches the working
              directory.

-r, --recursive

Read all files under each directory, recursively, following

symbolic links only if they are on the command line. Note

that if no file operand is given, grep searches the working

directory.

  -n, --line-number
              Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within
              its input file.

-n, --line-number

Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within

its input file.

 -w, --word-regexp
              Select only those lines containing matches that form whole
              words.  The test is that the matching substring must either be
              at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word
              constituent character.  Similarly, it must be either at the
              end of the line or followed by a non-word constituent
              character.  Word-constituent characters are letters, digits,
              and the underscore.  This option has no effect if <b>-x </b>is also
              specified.

-w, --word-regexp

Select only those lines containing matches that form whole

words. The test is that the matching substring must either be

at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word

constituent character. Similarly, it must be either at the

end of the line or followed by a non-word constituent

character. Word-constituent characters are letters, digits,

and the underscore. This option has no effect if -x is also

specified.

Matching Control
       -e PATTERNS, --regexp=PATTERNS 
              Use <i>PATTERNS</i> as the patterns. If this option is used multiple times 
              or is combined with the <b>-f </b>(<b>--file</b>) option, search for all patterns given. 
              This option can be used to protect a pattern beginning with “-”.

Matching Control

-e PATTERNS, --regexp=PATTERNS

Use PATTERNS as the patterns. If this option is used multiple times

or is combined with the -f (--file) option, search for all patterns given.

This option can be used to protect a pattern beginning with “-”.
