pawamoy — Timothée Mazzucotelli

SYNOPSIS¤

pawamoy [GLOBAL_OPTS] COMMAND [COMMAND_OPTS] [OBJECT | IDEA]...

DESCRIPTION¤

pawamoy lets you take control over the person identified by the name Timothée Mazzucotelli.

Timothée Mazzucotelli was born in France and still lives there. He received education in Computer Science and obtained his Masters in C.S. in Université de Strasbourg. He is therefore able to write code, amongst other things (see COMMANDS).

GLOBAL OPTIONS¤

These options influence how the command will be run. Please note that some switches may not apply to some commands.

--chatty

Increase verbosity. This flag is automatically switched on when command drink is used with option --alcohol. Default: false.

--enthusiast

This option is always useful, especially when learning new things. Use it without caution!

--fast

Do things fast. Behavior becomes non-deterministic: things will be done well in average, but sometimes they will not. This option can yield more interesting results though.

--happy

Everyone wants to be happy right? Use this option regularly to ensure proper sanity of mind.

--introvert

Act with more reserve. Talk less. This option overrides and disables --chatty. There is a high probability that --over-thinking will be switched on using --introvert. This option can be used to avoid unnecessary jokes during professional interactions, but try not to use it too much as it will reduce enthusiasm and increase risk of switching --silent on.

--open

Stay open! Everything you hear or see will be received with more curiosity and enthusiasm. Best used in combination with learn and work commands.

--over-thinking

Spend more time thinking about things than actually doing them.

--perfectionist

Nothing is ever good enough. Use this option to enable a "constantly-improving-and-refactoring" behavior. Beware: time spent in this mode is exponentially increased, and there is no guarantee to obtain a final product!

--reluctant

When inspiration is low, reluctant mode is activated. Things will be harder at first, but once the machinery is warmed-up, this mode will be deactivated and behavior will go back to normal.

--safe

Sometimes things are dangerous. Use this mode to increase cautiousness and avoid accidents.

--silent

Do not say a word and be silent. This mode can be used to silently sneak behind someone and surprise them. Be sure to know the person though. This mode is also used at night, to avoid waking up the significant other.

--slow

Side-effect of --reluctant, also triggered when tired. Everyone needs a bit of slowness from time to time right?

COMMANDS¤

code

Write or design code. It implies thinking, and can imply drawing. This command can be run regularly, without moderation. It should not be used 100% of the time though, because other vital tasks need attention.

drink

Drink liquids. Options are: --water (the default), --juice, --alcohol and --soda. Juices are good in the morning, while alcohol is better for social events, though not mandatory. Soda is really an extra, for example when eating pizza (both go well together). Water is mandatory. A bottle of it must always be available at night.

eat

Eat food. Almost every kind of food is accepted as positional argument. Ability to eat insects is not yet implemented, but might be in the future.

exercise

Exercise command should be run regularly, like two or three times a week. Option --bike is built-in and very often used as the main transport mean. Currently, option --badminton is available, and soon maybe --basketball will be implemented.

learn

Learn new things. It takes time and depending on the thing to learn, --reluctant might be enabled at first. In any case, don't forget to use the --open global option to ease the process. One thing that seems to be instantly learned and remembered is new keyboard shortcuts.

listen

Focus on listening. Probability of talking is decreased. This command is well used when someone is asking a question. It helps preventing an anticipation bias that often leads to an incorrect comprehension of the question, and thus an incorrect answer.

love

You can love many things and people. Don't restrict yourself. Isn't love a choice after all? Brutal black metal was not loved at first, it took a bit of time and training to be able to listen to it, but now it's one of the most-cherished thing!

play

Play single or multi-player. Card games, video games, especially horror ones, all sorts of games! Option --vr is already implemented but is waiting for adequate hardware.

read

Read a book, an article, a joke, docs, a tutorial, news. Read it on a desktop screen, on a smartphone screen, on an e-book screen, or... on paper directly? Technology is crazy. While using this option, please take care of your eyes: enable blue-light filters and adapt luminosity.

sleep

Sleep must be done regularly and in sufficient quantity to ensure proper performance in any other activity. Run this command at least once per day (better during the night) for at least eight hours. More is better. Less, and headache will appear, and --reluctant flag will be turned on until more sleep is done.

talk

Talk about universal determinism at parties.

think

Don't start to write code for your complex project idea immediately! Think it before! But be careful: not too much. You'll want to implement all the options. Yes, all. It will end as a generic program to do anything, and it will fail.

work

Chop chop! It's time to work! But your work is your passion, so it's not really work, is it?

write

Write man pages, blog posts, documentation, code, fiction. You should write more fiction.

BUGS¤

pawamoy has an extra pair of ribs. This bug does not come from the two engineers that designed pawamoy. It is due to some binary data corruption during replication over network. It can't be fixed.

COPYRIGHT¤

This is proprietary software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¤

HOME - Define the home pawamoy will use. "Moon", "Area 51", or "Public bathrooms" are not valid values.

ENERGY - An integer between 1 and 100. Using 0 will cause pawamoy to self-destruct. Use with caution. Use commands eat then sleep when ENERGY is low to increase it again.

HEALTH - An integer between 1 and 100. Using 0 is reserved for the end-of-life date of pawamoy. Don't use it before.

HUNGER - An integer between 1 and 100. 0 means extra-full, 100 means starving. Use command eat to decrease HUNGER.

TEMPERATURE - In degree Celsius. Try to increase it just a bit when HEALTH is lowering. This is experimental. Use it at my own risk.

FILES¤

/boot/config - This file was useful only once, because pawamoy can never reboot. Once shut down, it stays shut down.

/sys/cpu - This file was auto-generated, and is self-mutating. Please don't mess too much with this file.

/etc/pawamoy/principles - You can modify principles here. Don't add too many.

/var/log/pawamoy - Interesting statistics and analytics about pawamoy usage.

LICENSE¤

pawamoy is released under the terms of the Human Decency license. Please use it accordingly. You cannot duplicate pawamoy. At least for now.

NOTES¤

This man page is a perpetual work in progress. Expect some delays between pawamoy releases and its documentation updates.
