Howdy,
There is podcast called the Ubuntu UK podcast that discusses news
about Ubuntu and some general Linux stuff. For their final episode of
2010, they included a skit based on Jack and the Beanstalk that was
funny. The jokes are mostly about Linux. There were some I did not
get(What is riding a bronson, and why is it funny). But, if you
follow Linux news, you will get most of the jokes and some are
pretty good. So, to start off your Christmas with a a little mirth,
run the following 2 commands at a terminal prompt.
wget http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/download/uupc_s03e23_high.mp3
yatm -b 33:53 -e 613 uupc_s03e23_high.mp3
The first command will get the audio file. The second command will
play the section of the show that is the skit.
I normally download the ogg version of the podcast. yatm does not
respect the -e option on ogg files for reasons that I have not
looked into. That is why I point to an mp3 file here.
Enjoy,
Ralph
