Description
This project is to collect fun quotes from/by/to Vietnamese developers. Let's make our tough life fun.
Usage
With fortune
We compile a stable version of all quotes in the file fortune-vn.
You generate a binary form for this file as below
$ strfile -c "%" fortune
New file fortune-vn.dat will be created and you can use them as below
$ fortune fortune-vn
With cowsay
You can pipe output from fortune to cowsay:
$ fortune fortune-vn | cowsay
cowsay is not maintained anymore. On some distribution (e.g, ArchLinux)
the program may not handle utf-8 strings correctly. If that's the case,
please install coway from this repository

TODO
WIP. Stay tuned. Here is our TODO list.
- Compiling
data/*tofortune(6)data format so you can see our cookies from your terminal, e.g,fortune - Having an useful
clitool to get random quote from our data set. - Having a simple
APIto generate quote :) - Collecting the first 1k quotes :)
Contributing
Important: Never commit your changes for fortune-vn. This file should
be stable and maintained by release engineer.
- Take a look at our simple notes
- Create a custom file under
data/. For example, data/ngoctrinh.txt - Add quotes there. Use
%between quotes. - Feel free to add link to the quote. Use http://web.archive.org/ if possible.
The maintainer's environment consists of Ruby, fortune-mod and make
programs. Type make all to compile all things and see a random quote.
Feel free to take a look at the sample Makefile.
