Mountain Esja! by Petur Hafsteinn

Took this picture with Olympus OM-10. Film expired 2006.7.Type Tudor 24 exposure, 200 iso. Lens 50mm f/1.8

The mountain Esja (914 m (2,999 ft)) often called Esjan ("the Esja") is situated in the south-west of Iceland, about 10 km to the north of Iceland's capital city Reykjavík. Esja is not a single mountain, but a volcanic mountain range, made from basalt and tuff-stone.

Within easy reach of the capital, Esja is a very popular recreation area for hikers and climbers. The best known hiking paths lead to the summits Þverfellshorn and Kerhólakambur (851 m). Þverfellshorn is also easy accessible by public transport.

The path is divided into sections, marked with signs along the way. Each sign gives an indication of the difficulty of the path ahead with a grade system ranging from 1 boot (easy) to 3 boots (challenging). At sign 3 experienced climbers can choose to climb directly to the top, instead of following the path which goes of to the right. Approximately 200 meters below the top, there is a point marked with a big rock called Steinn. It is here that most inexperienced climbers choose to go down again, as the path becomes increasingly difficult from there.

Cowsay Man page: hilarious! by Manish Chakravarty

This is /NOT/ fiction.. have a look at the screenshot to know more ..

( and yes install it! )

cowsay(1)

NAME

cowsay/cowthink - configurable speaking/thinking cow (and a bit more)

SYNOPSIS

cowsay [-e eye_string] [-f cowfile] [-h] [-l] [-n] [-T

tongue_string] [-W column] [-bdgpstwy]

DESCRIPTION

Cowsay generates an ASCII picture of a cow saying something

provided by the user. If run with no arguments, it accepts standard

input, word-wraps the message given at about 40 columns, and prints

the cow saying the given message on

standard output.

To aid in the use of arbitrary messages with arbitrary

whitespace, use the -n option. If it is specified, the given message

will not be word-wrapped. This is possibly useful if you want to make

the cow think or speak in figlet(6). If

-n is specified, there must not be any command-line arguments

left after all the switches have been processed.

The -W specifies roughly (where the message should be wrapped.

The default is equivalent to -W 40 i.e. wrap words at or before the

40th column.

If any command-line arguments are left over after all switches

have been processed, they become the cow's message. The program will

not accept standard input for a message in this case.

There are several provided modes which change the

appearance of the cow depending on its particular emotional/physical

state. The -b option initiates Borg mode; -d causes the cow to appear

dead; -g invokes greedy mode; -p causes a

state of paranoia to come over the cow; -s makes the cow appear

thoroughly stoned; -t yields a tired cow; -w is somewhat the opposite

of -t, and initiates wired mode; -y brings on the cow's youthful

appearance.

The user may specify the -e option to select the appearance of

the cow's eyes, in which case the first two characters of the argument

string eye_string will be used. The default eyes are 'oo'. The

tongue is similarly configurable

through -T and tongue_string; it must be two characters and

does not appear by default. However, it does appear in the 'dead' and

'stoned' modes. Any configuration done by -e and -T will be lost if

one of the provided modes is used.

The -f option specifies a particular cow picture file

(``cowfile'') to use. If the cowfile spec contains '/' then it will

be interpreted as a path relative to the current directory.

Otherwise, cowsay will search the path specified in

the COWPATH environment variable. To list all cowfiles on the

current COWPATH, invoke cowsay with the -l switch.

If the program is invoked as cowthink then the cow will think

its message instead of saying it.

COWFILE FORMAT

A cowfile is made up of a simple block of perl(1) code, which

assigns a picture of a cow to the variable $the_cow. Should you wish

to customize the eyes or the tongue of the cow, then the variables

$eyes and $tongue may be used. The

trail leading up to the cow's message balloon is

composed of the character(s) in the $thoughts variable. Any

backslashes must be reduplicated to prevent interpolation. The name

of a cowfile should end with .cow, otherwise it is

assumed not to be a cowfile. Also, at-signs (``@'') must be

backslashed because that is what Perl 5 expects.

COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS

What older versions? :-)

Version 3.x is fully backward-compatible with 2.x versions. If

you're still using a 1.x version, consider upgrading. And tell me

where you got the older versions, since I didn't exactly put them up

for world-wide access.

Oh, just so you know, this manual page documents version 3.02 of cowsay.

ENVIRONMENT

The COWPATH environment variable, if present, will be used to

search for cowfiles. It contains a colon-separated list of

directories, much like PATH or MANPATH. It should always contain the

/usr/local/share/cows directory, or at least

a directory with a file called default.cow in it.

FILES

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_cowsay/work/destroot/opt/local/share/cows

holds a sample set of cowfiles. If your COWPATH is not explicitly

set, it automatically

contains this directory.
