I have scripts that produce everything from initial estate plan drafts, to invoicing, including generating invoices, printing them, generating and printing envelopes, preparing and sending billing emails, and entering the invoicing into my books, etc. Invoicing takes me about a half an hour a month compared to them 10 quickbooks took.
Like I said, linux isn't windows. My user experience is that windows is shit. All options have been decided — is there a button for that?
In linux on the other hand, between sed, awk, grep and other *nix tools, plus bash and regex, I can do just about anything using tools that were invented before I was born.
I even use scripts to fill in court pdfs using pdftk. Windows nigger Attorney pay thousands a year for programs to do just that. Retards.
Funny story. My nephew was at my house and I locked my desktop. My lock is a script that does a few things. 1. It changes the background on all monitors every minute. 2. It opens a terminal on a new desktop on each monitor and cats ascii are files to each monitor at a rate of one line every half second. He kept asking me "what program are you using for your screen saver." I just smiled and nodded. I guess some people just think differently about what a computer is.
See there's a problem, and it's that many people think that programs have to do everything — I want a screen saver program that does that (20 lines of bash vs. A "program"). This is a windows user mentality. No... a program should do one thing and one thing only. Scripting does the rest.
