The One with the Thoughts of Frans

A dialog for two actors.

The Bucket?

A bucket is set on the middle of the stage. Science and Poetry stand next to it.

Science

That’s a bucket!

Poetry

No, it’s clearly a trashcan.

Science

The difference should be obvious. A bucket has a handle. A trashcan does not.

Poetry

What about a portable trashcan?

Science

What the fuck is a portable trashcan?

Poetry

You know, for cleaners.

Science

Those are on wheels!

Poetry

They don’t need to be…

Science

Fine, use your bucket as a trashcan. I don’t care.

Jotted down on Tuesday 01 September 2015.

I just had to share this mysterious error message.

Simply retrying made it go away.

Back in November I decided to try Aard 2 on my laptop. I followed the instructions and it worked. Then I created a launcher with the following command and suddenly it did not.

java -Dslobber.browse=true -jar ~/programs/aard2/aard2-web-0.7.jar ~/programs/aard2/slobs/*.slob

A different strategy, passing a command to Bash, did the trick.

bash -c "java -Dslobber.browse=true -jar ~/programs/aard2/aard2-web-0.7.jar ~/programs/aard2/slobs/*.slob"

Enjoy your fully functional launcher! 😉
