Firstborn got his hands on the Linux laptop earlier today. Now, you'd probably expect he'd throw it around (he's 20 months old) or pull out keys from the keyboard and eat them, but it turns out he just typed away at it. Here's what the backlog looked like when he was finished:
imitari:~# mk
-bash: mk: command not found
imitari:~# io
-bash: io: command not found
imitari:~#
imitari:~#
Well, okay, he obviously hasn't got a clue about bash, but "mk" and "io" are actually reminiscent of actual commands. It makes a geek dad so proud I almost want to cry! :)
Unix is a lot easier to understand when you're, you know, literate. But I'm impressed with your boy too. Actually grasped the idea of typing, and of entering commands. Probably learned by example.
ReplyDeleteI strongly suspect so, yes. :)
ReplyDeleteHe did it again earlier today (he's a quick little bugger!), and his input this time was "<q<<q<<qaaqaqaq<az<aefpfvofgofofoopofop-of". I guess I should cancel those applications for geek private school... :)
Just because he understands "hit keys to do things" doesn't mean he understands "Oh and they have to be words that the computer understands."
ReplyDeleteAw! So cute! Clearly a genius in the making.
