| 2012-11-15T03:56:29+0000 | Anita Pottekat | does anybody know which OS to be installed with Virtualbox ? |
| 2012-11-15T06:53:29+0000 | Meihui Hsu | I am having problem to install AnacondaCE in My Visa notebook. It always freezes in the installer. |
| 2012-11-15T06:55:06+0000 | Max Nanis | Does a message or error prompt provide any additional details? |
| 2012-11-15T06:56:34+0000 | Meihui Hsu | No other message show up. I look at the task manager, the CPU is "0" for thr AnacondaCE installer. |

| 2012-11-15T17:36:27+0000 | Andrew Su | Great tip, thanks @JonathanHArt |
| 2012-11-15T17:57:10+0000 | Erick Scott | Be careful with the rm command there is no going back |
| 2012-11-15T17:58:29+0000 | Erick Scott | "cd -" will take you to the last directory you were in (you don't need the quotes) |

| 2012-11-15T18:11:25+0000 | Cait Pickens | Whenever we add new course materials (throughout the day) on git, you can get a new, updated version of the files using that link. |
| 2012-11-15T18:12:00+0000 | Cait Pickens | @AndrewSu - Will you please update the zip file link at the top? Thanks! |
| 2012-11-15T18:19:00+0000 | Andrew Su | @CaitPickens done! |
| 2012-11-15T18:21:26+0000 | Jonathan HArt | ls /bin/*a*b* /bin/*b*a*
|
| 2012-11-15T18:24:36+0000 | Jonathan HArt | might also want to mention hitting up and down to get to the last command entered |
| 2012-11-15T18:24:48+0000 | Jonathan HArt | great way to fix a typo |
| 2012-11-15T18:28:21+0000 | Anita Pottekat | Once I download the zip file and extact it how to get it imported into Cygwin terminal? |
| 2012-11-15T18:29:20+0000 | Andrew Su | @AnitaPottekat you need to use 'cd' to browse to the directory you unpacked the zip file to... |
| 2012-11-15T18:29:23+0000 | Jonathan HArt | to run an command from history |
| 2012-11-15T18:29:31+0000 | Jonathan HArt | it is !(number) in bash |
| 2012-11-15T18:29:43+0000 | Jonathan HArt | so #594 would be !594 |
| 2012-11-15T19:11:09+0000 | Andrew Su | how we doing, people following along okay? |
| 2012-11-15T19:11:22+0000 | Andrew Su | If not, please raise hands, ask questions, etc... |
| 2012-11-15T19:13:51+0000 | Ashley Pratt | Yes, following along :) |
| 2012-11-15T19:17:03+0000 | Erick Scott | Following along |
| 2012-11-15T19:18:21+0000 | Anita Pottekat | Yes..going good |
| 2012-11-15T19:19:25+0000 | Dejan Caglic | Doing well, thanks for asking :P |
| 2012-11-15T19:21:20+0000 | Andrew Su | question about navigating in 'less'. To go to the bottom of the file, type 'G' (no quotes, capital letter). To go to the top of a file, type '1G'. To go to line 50, type '50G' |
| 2012-11-15T19:24:53+0000 | Greg Wilson | Greetings from Toronto |
| 2012-11-15T19:28:20+0000 | Janel Lee | Doing well! |
| 2012-11-15T19:28:29+0000 | Erick Scott | Another note on the rm command. rm -i prompts the user to confirm he/she wants to remove the file. If you get in the habit of using the -i flag you will likely save yourself a few tears. |
| 2012-11-15T19:29:42+0000 | Jonathan HArt | man rm |
| 2012-11-15T19:32:03+0000 | Andrew Su | ADVANCED TIP: if you *always* find yourself typing rm -i (or think that should be the default), you can change that in your preferences. For bash, that's stored in your .bashrc file. beyond the scope right now, but you can google it later... |
| 2012-11-15T19:38:01+0000 | Titus Brown | During break, I would like to talk with someone who installed Anaconda on Mac OS X, and someone who installed Anaconda on Windows, please :) |
| 2012-11-15T19:39:27+0000 | Andrew Su | @BenjaminGood, one of my group members, successfully installed on Mac. I _attempted_ to install on windows but am not sure I succeeded or not. (Couldn't get to the launcher...) |
| 2012-11-15T19:41:09+0000 | Benjamin Good | @TitusBrown I did, and helped Ruth Huey in the class as well. |
| 2012-11-15T19:41:30+0000 | Titus Brown | OK. Can we connect over reak? |
| 2012-11-15T19:41:32+0000 | Titus Brown | break? |
| 2012-11-15T19:41:52+0000 | Benjamin Good | @TitusBrown I never did anythign with it, but did get it to launch. Sure, I am upstairs right now. When is your break ? |
| 2012-11-15T19:58:15+0000 | Andrew Su | lunch! (chompy) |
| 2012-11-15T19:58:42+0000 | Andrew Su | sorry survey first... |
| 2012-11-15T20:58:39+0000 | Jonathan HArt | Virtualbox + anaconda CE fails because of 32bit host + 64bit executable |
| 2012-11-15T21:00:55+0000 | Andrew Su | @JonathanHArt I think if you have virtualbox with the software carpentry image file, you should have everything you need -- no need to think about anaconda at all... |
| 2012-11-15T21:03:05+0000 | Katie Petrie | how do we escape the man - viewing mode? |
| 2012-11-15T21:03:13+0000 | Andrew Su | hit 'q' |
| 2012-11-15T21:03:23+0000 | Katie Petrie | thanks. |
| 2012-11-15T21:19:06+0000 | Anita Pottekat | When you sort is there a way to specify to sort different variables ? |
| 2012-11-15T21:19:18+0000 | Andrew Su | question about single quotes versus double quotes -- makes a difference with some special characters, but for plain text search terms it doesn't matter... |
| 2012-11-15T21:19:40+0000 | Andrew Su | @AnitaPottekat do you mean sorting based on different columns? |
| 2012-11-15T21:20:39+0000 | Anita Pottekat | yes |
| 2012-11-15T21:21:27+0000 | Anita Pottekat | I think as we discussed, I could look at "man" or google :) |
| 2012-11-15T21:21:37+0000 | Andrew Su | the man page has the answer ('man sort'), but it's a bit cryptic... |
| 2012-11-15T21:21:54+0000 | Andrew Su | the option you want to use is '-k' |
| 2012-11-15T21:22:02+0000 | Anita Pottekat | Okay great .. Thank you ! |
| 2012-11-15T21:22:20+0000 | Andrew Su | '-k3' means sort on 3rd column... |
| 2012-11-15T21:26:07+0000 | Claire Levy | I don't appear to have ./run-in-vm.sh in my python file (running windows) |
| 2012-11-15T21:28:07+0000 | Andrew Su | raise your hand please... |
| 2012-11-15T21:32:22+0000 | Anita Pottekat | Should I try the Anaconda or is there any other way for windows ? |
| 2012-11-15T21:32:34+0000 | Anita Pottekat | My Virtual box does not work ! |
| 2012-11-15T21:32:51+0000 | vijay gupta | same here |
| 2012-11-15T21:45:51+0000 | cristina irimia | http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/issues/detail?id=81 link for people with older (10.5.8) version of mac os to fix git |
| 2012-11-15T22:10:03+0000 | Andrew Su | I'm assuming it's quiet in here because everyone is rapt with attention and programming along. (but please post or raise your hand if not!) |
| 2012-11-15T22:25:06+0000 | cristina irimia | http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/issues/detail?id=81 link for people with older (10.5.8) version of mac os to fix git |
| 2012-11-15T22:28:12+0000 | cristina irimia | Hi, how do I make the help window appear in the Pyton notebook ? |
| 2012-11-15T22:35:23+0000 | Tracy Teal | help for the iPython notebook or for Python? |
| 2012-11-15T22:39:49+0000 | cristina irimia | for the notebook. It's nice to see all the arguments when you write a function and don't really know how to do it |
| 2012-11-15T22:55:02+0000 | Duane Rinehart | How do I cast variable in python? |
| 2012-11-15T22:57:16+0000 | Andrew Su | >>> a = '5'
>>> a*5
'55555'
>>> int(a)*5
25
|
| 2012-11-15T22:57:44+0000 | Andrew Su | so 'int' will attempt to interpret a variable as an integer |
| 2012-11-15T22:58:06+0000 | Andrew Su | 'str' will attempt to interpret a variable as a string... |
