A place for everything and everything in its place ….

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Hi,

I was going to write but couldn’t be stuffed. So here is my attempt at audio blogging. Note: My mood is melancholic and my state of mind is unstable, so if you don’t want to care, don’t listen, but you knew that already, well those who know my blog and never read it anyways. (No editing was done just recorded into audacity and converted, I didn’t even bother to edit out my verbal typos, raw me just like Sushi, except without seaweed and rice…)

It is a bit more random then usual because it is audio, and the file size (15.9meg) leaves something to be desired but meh.

Enjoy.

Random Fortune
(NB some will be long and offensive, if this bothers you, then ignore them.)

There haven't been any ChangeLog updates in hours! Slackware's dead! -- GP From: Keith Keller % > Who is "Roger Maynard?" No. Who is an old rock and roll band, Who is a British sci fi time traveller, Horton hears a Who, Who put the bop in the bob shebop shebop, and Who's on first, but Who is not Roger Maynard, to the best of my knowledge. From: Old Man % Yugo [GP] Wrote: > Now, if everybody wants to believe that "development" is > processing at such a tremendous pace that The Man has no time to > fill the changelog, so be it! Pwnd. http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt Sat Mar 17 19:14:35 CDT 2007 Happy St. Patrick's Day! :-) This is more-or-less stable (functionally), but there's still a lot of package splitting and other rearranging and adding to be done, but it's time for the Slackware community to see how far we've gotten. From: Robby Workman % I should have more confidence in man pages and be less lazy:-)) From: serge_moscou % Crap. I just realized I'm responding to rm. Now I want to ram my head through a window while holding a lighter under my bag screaming that I love The Honorable Reverend Jesse Jackson. From: A Guy Called Tyketto % What is it about "ln" that no one can ever remember the order the arguments should be stated? I struggle with this and it seems that I never get it right the first time. Maybe ln is coded such that the first way you call it is _always_ wrong, and it remembers your arguments, so when you flip them on the next invocation, it does the right thing? From: +Alan Hicks+ % One does not learn pico. One uses it and after about 5 minutes or 5 days one outgrows pico but no one ever learns pico. You can't learn something that wears its man page on the bottem two lines of the screen. From: Faux_Pseudo % Just making sure that you are, in fact, a troll. Thank you for confirming my suspicions. From: Keith Keller % I accidentally deleted my company inbox mail directory (SendMail). From: CL % I thought South was normally abbreviated "Dixie". From: +Alan Hicks+ % Aw damn! I could swear I was just talking to Pat about something in -current just the other day. Well I guess you're information is beyond question. I suppose I should stop using Slackware and go find some other distribution that is still being actively maintained. And shame on those people who are pretending to be Pat and distributed those security updates today! The nerve of some people! From: +Alan Hicks+ % That sleezy Daniel! I can't imagine why he would decide to stop working on the book when he finished it! From: +Alan Hicks+ % Oh my God! Slackware is bankrupt! Run for the hills everyone! The servers are all going dark tomorrow at noon! I can't believe this is happening; the four horseman of the Apocalypse have been released! From: +Alan Hicks+ % Thank you that some one has finally had the balls to point out that HTTP, SMTP, FTP, NFS, NIS, SMB, CIFS, SSH, telnet, POP3, IMAP, SASL, SSL, TLS, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IP, NTP, NNTP, DNS, TFTP, gopher, finger, biff, kerberos, LDAP, SQL, SNMP, BGP, IRC, IPX, syslog, and others are ALL defined standards and were defined that way because of all the non-Linux desktops from Redmond or Cupertino that are being used today, nevermind that there was not a concept of a "desktop" computer when many of these standards were first chiseled into clay tablets in Mesopotamia. From: +Alan Hicks+ % Go away troll, ya bother me. From: +Alan Hicks+ % Now, five people have responded to your question. The polite thing would be for you to acknowledge anyone who was helpful or to clarify your question, if none of the responses helped. From: Old Man % If some Joe Blow strolled on into this newsgroup and said something like installpkg has a bug in it that will crash the system when installing a custom package larger than say 50MB we would probably think he's insane even if it turns out he's right. From: +Alan Hicks+ % No, I totally ignored the word "headless". It didn't seem like an important part of the message. Since I didn't know what "headless" meant From: Joseph H. Rosevear % Your off of my holiday card list. So I suggest you go take a long walk in the Tatooine desert. From: gregg dot drwho8 atsign gmail dot com % Dan C wrote: > I'd recommend you use this command: format C: /u /y Don't publish untested commands. From: CBFalconer % Gee, who'd'a thought that KDE and the Athena widget set wouldn't play nice From: Chris Sorenson % You being cordial is like Mussolini and Eichmann inviting Ghandi and Anne Frank to dinner. From: A Guy Called Tyketto
