BEg2 chapter 4 the Princess Connection

[Raphael Saltwood]

Someday we’ll find it
The Princess Connection


Just wanted to pipe up & connect the Princess references in chapter 3 with this Princess Di Beanie Baby.
And in turn, the 3 people in Princess Diana’s marriage with the verging-on 3 people in Vyrva’s marriage.
Far - or not so far? -
from the 4 Corners with Lake and Sloat and Deuce (never noticed Deuce nickname is also a colloquial name for a bowel movement) or Reef and Yashmeen and Cyprian - or Arthur and Guinevere and Lancelot.



“[Lucas] hasn’t been around a lot. There’s been, like, issues? He and Justin find any excuse to get into a fight. whether to even sell the source code in the first place. Same old classic dotcom dilemma, be rich forever or make a tarball out of it and post it around for free, and keep their cred and maybe self-esteem as geeks but stay more or less middle income.”

The Linux “tar” stands for tape archive, which is used by a large number of Linux/Unix system administrators to deal with tape drives backup.

The tar command<https://www.tecmint.com/install-tar-in-centos-rhel-and-fedora/> is used to rip a collection of files and directories into a highly compressed archive file commonly called tarball or tar, gzip and bzip in Linux.
