Please join me in congratulating RudiC for his long overdue lifetime achievement award badge from UNIX.COM in computer wizardry:
"The Order of the Wizard's Hat - Lifetime Achievement Award"
This "Order of the Wizard's Hat" is presented to RudiC for Computer Wizardry in the UNIX Operating Environment, especially the UNIX shell and shell scripting, and for many years dedication to helping all Members at UNIX.COM witnessed by his 13,701 excellent posts and 4,242 user thanks. Thank You from All of Us.
One of the crown jewels on these forums.
I've spent a lot of time (and still am), studying and disassembling his awks.
Indirectly, learning coding practices and memory management which can be applied to any language.
thanks to all of you for your acknowledgements, support, and benevolent comments!
I indeed am very happy to be part of this team, and really value to be able to contribute here. I've learned so incredibly many things in the recent 6 1/2 years in these forums, not only on IT related stuff like *nix, admin, shells, awk and other tools, but also on how to view the (not only computer) world, and, last but not least, the English language.
