01:06 PM rue_mohr: polprog, check that out
01:06 PM rue_mohr: changes:
01:06 PM rue_mohr: - if it cant find the pdf, it will give you a digchip link
01:06 PM rue_mohr: - there is a variable that holds the store base directory, so you can throw the script itself into /usr/local/bin/
01:06 PM rue_mohr: - you can put the term on the command line, it wont loop back into the search screen when done
01:06 PM rue_mohr: - it pipes all stuff from the pdf reader to /dev/null

01:41 PM rue_mohr: he asked me if I had previous doctors, I told him I had Dr Brown, who didn't have time, Dr Zoidberg, that didn't work out, and Dr Seus, who liked to talk about cats in hats. He asked if they were from the other town cause he didn't know the names.
01:41 PM rue_mohr: I could tell right then there was 0% attention happening
01:42 PM Tom_L: :)
