Hi Bob

Posted: 2023-10-18

In the first season of For All Mankind three of the main characters are stuck longer on the moon than any of them ever expected.

The only TV entertainment that was provided was a few episodes of the Bob Newhart Show.

In true good friend fashion, it became a "thing" on the base. When someone would say "Hi Bob" the rest would have to say "Hi Bob" back.

I've latched onto it and it has been become a thing I say.

So being a computer engineer, I naturally wrote a little script!

hi_bob.sh

You type ./hi.bob.sh and you get "hi bob" back!

It's the simplest script you can write, it is basically Hello World.

But every time I run it, my faces cracks a smile. :)
