Make Terminal Type Stuff

Maads 101 here. Today, this is a little tutorial on, um, a little, uh, Unix executable we made called pron. It's totally useless, but it makes your computer look like it's typing stuff to you.

So right now we can open up pron or drag it into terminal. If you haven't set it up, you can just double click it to open it. We'll just drag the file we can download from the, um, description. In the description, there will be a link to download this, um, so just click it.

Wherever you've downloaded it to, drag it into terminal, click terminal, hit enter in terminal, then enter message to PL print. That's just what it's going to act like it's typing to you. I'll say, "Hello, my name is Dave. What is your oops name?" Question mark. Okay, and now I'll hit enter, and I'll do this little traffic light, and then I'll start typing it.

So, um, you'll know I work so hard to make the traffic light work. You can copy and paste like a whole web page if you want to, and, um, it'll type everything out for you. So it's fun to go to maads.

Um, this will print out up to, um, 2,000 characters, so you can only paste up to 2,000 letters in there. Um, but we can say go to news and click in article, and just I doubt this is more than 2,000 letters.

And copy that, paste it into terminal, and that's a little too long, actually. But it will begin to type it out, so, um, it'll be, um, pretty cool. It'll just start typing and typing and typing and typing at the same exact speed. It's kind of like a little, um, news feed almost. It's going slowly enough for you to read it.

Um, I truly love the stoplight feature. I work so hard to do that. Um, but anyway, thanks for watching maads. Um, enjoy this application, subscribe, and goodby...
