<dtm> Vee2d2: what are you doing up?  24/7 shift?
<dtm> anyone here into syslog.conf?
<dtm> my pppoe auth messages are going to all ttys, not to my log file

<Vee2d2> yea.. darkness it is.. 
<Vee2d2> nite 
<dtm> what darkness, where
<dtm> ok l8r
<dtm> wtg: hi
<dtm> wtg: do you know syslog.conf
<LuftHans> dtm: what OS? What syslog?
<dtm> LuftHans: rh8
<LuftHans> n8 Vee2d2
<dtm> yes, neight
<LuftHans> using standard syslogd or one o' them newfangled syslog thingies?
<dtm> it's sysklogd
<dtm> never heard of it.
<dtm> it's default rh8
<dtm> plus eratta
<LuftHans> I've heard of it, but don't know it
<dtm> ok
<dtm> isn't the syntax comparable
<LuftHans> std syslog doesn't let you do things like PPP-Account.*, PPP-Info.*, PPP-Error.*
<dtm> i'm assumign that the way syslog works is that some service makes up its own message names like PPP-Account.* and then syslog.conf is told to listen for them.
<dtm> i've nver done syslog before.
<dtm> in all these years
<dtm> amazingly
<LuftHans>        The  facility  is  one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron,
<LuftHans>        daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as auth), sys-
<LuftHans>        log, user, uucp and local0 through local7.
<LuftHans> there should be a man page for syslog.conf or whatever sysklogd uses
<LuftHans> syslog was written for speed and reliability. modularity is usually contrary to at least one of those two :)
<dtm> yeah.
<dtm> ok
<dtm> well, is my assumption correct?
<LuftHans> if those do indeed catch PPP stuff and /var/log/mt.ppp exists I would think those rules work
<chillywilly> sup freaks
<chillywilly> syslog-ng!
<LuftHans> check for rules to console or tty. You probably have a catchall or something for that
<dtm> chillywilly: high.
<dtm> LuftHans: i'd think so too
<LuftHans> maybe /var/log/mt.ppp has to exist with proper perms and ownership ( it does for traditional syslog )
<LuftHans> maybe it's seeing the rules or log file as not quite correct, so spitting out things that match those rules to the consoles
<dtm> yeah.
<LuftHans> if you comment those rules out and reload the syslod daemon do the logs to the consoles stop?
<dtm> the file exists and with the same perms as /var/log/messages
<wtg> sorry dtm ... i know little about the workings of syslog
<dtm> i dont know about commenting it out, coz the messages are from customer logins which is a chaotic event
<dtm> wtg: hehe ok thx
<dtm> LuftHans: so i dont think i'll try that atm
<LuftHans> yeah, might not be good on a prodx server :)
<LuftHans> do you have another rn8 box to test on?
<dtm> yes
<dtm> but i dont have the pppoe server/client setup there
<LuftHans> well, then, let's go hose that one ;-)
<dtm> indeed
<LuftHans> ah
<dtm> it's also logging the same-looking info to /var/log/messages
<LuftHans> ok, do you have any rules logging to /dev/<anything>?
<dtm> nosir
<dtm> http://smuckola.org/etc/syslog.conf.text
<dtm> that's it.
<dtm> LuftHans: !
<LuftHans> I presume the things you're seeing aren't *.emerg
<LuftHans> do the other mt.* files get what they're supposed to?
<dtm> nosir
<dtm> i just created them.
<LuftHans> maybe take that list I pasted in and post each of them to a different file and see what gets what
<dtm> what, from the man page?
<dtm> 02:27 < LuftHans>        The  facility  is  one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron,
<LuftHans> yeah, them
<dtm> 02:27 < LuftHans>        daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as auth), sys-
<dtm> 02:27 < LuftHans>        log, user, uucp and local0 through local7.
<dtm> that list?
<dtm> hm
<LuftHans> are there docs for sysklogd in /usr/share/doc?
<LuftHans> yup, that list
<LuftHans> do you use rcs or something else for conf files?
<dtm> not at this piont
<dtm> i used to
<LuftHans> you know how to use rcs?
<dtm> yes
<LuftHans> cool
<LuftHans> mkdir /etc/RCS; ci -l /etc/sysklog.conf
<LuftHans> :)
<dtm> yeah ok sure
<LuftHans> fscking client eating tabs!
<LuftHans> for i in auth authpriv cron daemon ... do touch /var/log/my${i}; echo "${i}.*
<LuftHans>                 /var/log/my${i}" >>/etc/sysklog.conf"; done
<LuftHans> :)
<dtm> clever
<dtm> those mt.* are logs from the Microtik router appliance
<dtm> which does pppoe auth and whatnot, fyi
<LuftHans> hmmm, well, could you reconfigure it to send to two syslogs?
<dtm> here's what my fellow admin says:
<dtm> I want the auths sent to a different log file only.  I haven't
<dtm> tried to figure out what they are coming in on.  But we do want
<dtm> them in a separate file.  If you figure it out, redirect them.
<dtm> The vendor did not say what they are sending as.
<dtm> ===
<LuftHans> maybe reconfig the one rh syslog to send *.* to the other one?
<dtm> so I might need to rtfm on Microtik and find out the name of its signals.. maybe the relevant entries in syslog.conf are entirely wrong.
<LuftHans> sending to syslog in clear text? sniff the packets?
<dtm> hehehe
<LuftHans> it should be sending syslog facility as part of the message, so you could see what it's using
<LuftHans> auth info should be going to authinfo or something anyway
<LuftHans> 257 packages upgraded, 67 newly installed, 3 to remove and 1  not upgraded.
<LuftHans> not even 300 packages to install to upgrade from woody to sarge :)
Action: dtm rebuilds perl in the background
<LuftHans> ah, but only 344 packages on that box :)
<dtm> the naming of that software after characters in Toy Story is disturbingly surreal imho
<LuftHans> :)
<dtm> and blatantly proprietary and commercial
<dtm> which i guess is half the surreality behind it
<LuftHans> that's my only beef with it
<LuftHans> I don't think it's given them much advertising, though
<LuftHans> if anything, it's helped debian get the word out
<dtm> how's that?  it's totally stupid.
<dtm> what's it got to do with anything, let alone anything good :)
<dtm> ?
<LuftHans> well, it's one of those trivia things that catches peoples attention
<LuftHans> at least it wasn't characters from the madonna children's books or harry potter, which was possible since bruce also worked for hp :)
<dtm> oic
<dtm> LuftHans: so what are you up to?
<LuftHans> usually 2 or 3 in the morning :)
<LuftHans> I'm currently doing some dist-upgrades and getting ready to wrestle with a mail problem
<dtm> yeah me too
<dtm> more or less
<LuftHans> hmmm, need to put the laptop on the air, so I'll probably log in to work and see how my batch job is doing
<dtm> what's this about air
<dtm> what batch job
<LuftHans> on the air == turn it on and hook it up to the Net
<LuftHans> batch job == bunch of db queries, some of which take a couple of hours
<dtm> wow
<dtm> querying for what
<LuftHans> doing data extracts for people who do 'things' with the data
<LuftHans> don't know that 'things' ==
<LuftHans> I hope to sneak GNUe into some of what I'm doing :)
<dtm> oh and i can tell you're a sneaky one
<LuftHans> need to get that working on the laptop this weekend
<LuftHans> Replace existing XFree86 4.x configuration file? [no] yes
<LuftHans> the video card on that box doesn't work anyway :)
<dtm> hehe

<LuftHans> hmm, speaking of RUSH, guess I'll listen to them...
<dtm> Y4y

<dtm> nickr: dewd ihad no idea youdid all this art
<dtm> & stuf
<dtm> nickr: you wouldn't happen to be into country primitives, would you :)
<dtm> heh
<dtm> not primitive as in prehistoric
<dtm> looks like you'd be that type of primitive
<jcater> spiffy
<dtm> i'm starting a primitive art store online to complement the retail side, and this image there reminds me of some of our welded sculptures
<dtm> metal plates cut with a plasma torch and then rusted
<jcater> dtm: what's your url?
<dtm> doesn't exist yet jcater but it's http://hotr.biz
<dtm> aka http://primitiveart.biz
<dtm> i jsut registered them this week though so nothing's there
<dtm> my goal is to be on the front page of google for keyword "primitive art" within 2 months
<dtm> so, we shall see
<dtm> plasma cutting takes good equipment and a lot of skill to do it accurately and rapidly
<dtm> and my uncle does it
<nickr> yea, the style is intended to be neo-primitivism
<dtm> huh.
<nickr> a lot of my stuff is like that
<nickr> I was thinking of doing a series of similar works
<dtm> well i see a lot of that in my research for country primitive which is way different
<dtm> you dont happen to do stuff like snowmen, scarecrows, witches, pumpkins, and raggedy dolls, do you :)
<nickr> I maybe using the wrong term
<dtm> ehehehe
<nickr> lets call it 'technoprimitivism'
<dtm> no it seems that there is overlap in the naming of the two genres.  they have "primitive" in common.
<dtm> heheh
<dtm> you can have "primitivism" and i'll have "primitive"  ;)
<dtm> no i call mine "country primitive"
<dtm> people in the genre of course call it simply "primitive"
<nickr> country primitive sounds like, I dunno
<dtm> coz you can kind of tell the difference between skull/bones vs. snowmen
<nickr> cheesey primitivism hotel art
<dtm> !?
<dtm> ok whatever!
<nickr> thats what country primitive makes me think of
<dtm> lol
<dtm> well maybe you should lOOK AT IT then :)
<dtm> heheh
<dtm> u silly
<dtm> but seriously i can see some overlap in technique too
<nickr> ah I see
<dtm> some country primitive is downright scary
<nickr> that was my other guess
<dtm> some of it is like "nightmare before christmas"
<dtm> have you seen that
<nickr> yea
<dtm> some of it happy, some scary
mdupont (mdupont@p5080E710.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) joined #gnuenterprise.
<dtm> my side is the mostly happy stuff but we do have some abstract figures
<dtm> which are slightly grim
<nickr> the raggedy andy doll things are freaky enough for the rest of it
<dtm> like a sun stencil carved out of a thick rusted metal plate
<dtm> with a face to it
<nickr> yea, those are cool
<nickr> or can be cool
<dtm> or dolls with dredlocks, and a mouth made out of stitches
<nickr> those are freaky
<nickr> always
<dtm> they can look neutral, not blatantly scary
<dtm> but others, man, *whew*
<dtm> at other stores in town
<dtm> disturbing
<reinhard> night all
reinhard (~reinhard@M1264P004.adsl.highway.telekom.at) left irc: "All things being equal, fat people use more soap."
<dtm> nickr: so if you're interested in making custom stencils, i might talk to my uncle
<nickr> yea.
<nickr> custom stencils?
<dtm> coz they were shipping em across the US and Canada before
<nickr> Like to be blasted out of metal?
<dtm> yeah for being plasma cut
<dtm> yes
<dtm> they're like 1/4" thick
<nickr> it'd be neat to have a metal version of hephaestus
<dtm> yeah.
<nickr> although I was planning on getting into that area
<dtm> well see it takes madskillz to do it that accurately
<dtm> without cutting all the way through
<dtm> between adjacent cuts
<dtm> and he's a long time industrial welder
<nickr> I'd probably be interested in such a thing
<dtm> and has all his own equipment
<nickr> I have to create many more designs though
<dtm> well it doesn't terribly matter; i'm interestd in whatever's unique
<nickr> I'd LOVE to have a plasma cut version of ...
<nickr> erm
<dtm> and whatever's compatible with our genre
<nickr> sec
<dtm> we dont want just abstract art, but rather something of a country genre
<dtm> recognizable mystical figures
<dtm> like a sun and moon overlapping
<nickr> well theres el pollo :)
<dtm> things from a medievil harvest
<ajmitch> morning
<nickr> it might fit into your genre

<nickr> indede
<dtm> ;hehe
<dtm> hey i might ask your advice on colorizing or otherwise upgrading our existing logo on hotr.biz
<nickr> this is my fave but isn't in your genre http://www.sito.org/cgi-bin/egads/showart?show=nar.0089&idonly=nar&seq=24
<dtm> i want to make a series of seasonal logos not unlike how google.com's is
<nickr> your current logo does communicate the nature of your product effectively
<dtm> like where teh leaves are green or brown, the sky is blue or gray, grass, etc
<dtm> depending on the season
<dtm> one with a snowman to the side and snow falling
<dtm> basically "country primitive" is extremely broad, it's not just some rubberstamper on ebay  :)
<nickr> hm?
<nickr> Oh yea
<nickr> I realize that
<dtm> hehe
<dtm> well i'm just saying some is pretty gawdy
<dtm> but my aunt is strictly premium
<nickr> I see
<dtm> mostly positive or high in energy
<dtm> ok that last one is way too intricate to plasma cut ;)
<dtm> hehe
<nickr> thats weirdly dejavuish
<dtm> unless it was maybe 8' wide
<dtm> hehe
<nickr> I'd like an 8' version :)
<nickr> I suspect I will have to be the one to create it tohugh
<nickr> It'd take forever.
<dtm> hehe
<dtm> $$$$$$
<nickr> most of my drawings are that level of intircacy
<dtm> far out dewd
<dtm> yeah hm i dont have any of ours online to send atm
<nickr> I think El Pollo is the only one I've done related to your genre :)
<nickr> I really like the shapes in this one http://www.sito.org/cgi-bin/egads/showart?show=nar.0088&idonly=nar&seq=25
<dtm> yeah
<dtm> el pollo is pretty intricate too
<nickr> It started as a small post-it sized drawing
<dtm> depending on my uncle's willingness and availability, i'm thinking of making an online store just for welding
<dtm> of course he might be totally unwilling to do any more art
<dtm> he's a pickle
<nickr> pickle
<nickr> wet and sour?
<dtm> sour, for sure

<dtm> i can't even find any pics online

<ajmitch> seems to have gone ok, just planning for dotgnu 0.1
<mdupont> that was scheduled for sept.?
<dtm> nickr: dyaaahhh  i noticed that your site has old collections of you messing on your 286
<dtm> nickr: i used to do stuff like that on my //gs except we had professional art tools
<ajmitch> mdupont: yeah, slipped a couple of times
<dtm> nickr: but i did simple stuff like that on it, coz i didnt know anything
<dtm> nickr: pixel by pixel animations, etc
<mdupont> :(
<dtm> nickr: lost em all
<nickr> Yea.
<nickr> I wish sito had a way to strictly group things into 'exibits'
<dtm> nickr: i was just going through my personal archive of nonsequitur rantings and poems, and i hvae posted a ton to alt.non.sequitur
<nickr> I'd move all that cruft to a 'historical exhibit' and keep all my good stuff in the front. :)
<dtm> yeah
<nickr> have a 'photo' 'sculpture' 'drawing' exibits
<nickr> and misc.
<nickr> ah well.
<dtm> o/~ CREEPING DEATH
<dtm> i'm going to have to research the usenet FAQs as to whether i should be posting to alt.non.sequitur or alt.surreal or whatever :)
<nickr> heh
<dtm> i dont know up from down sometimes
<nickr> it probably doesn't matter what you post on either of those
<dtm> i know only what must be done.
<dtm> yeah.
<dtm> they crosspost like crazy
<dtm> i never crosspost
<dtm> in responses, i only include alt.non.sequitur, coz wha'ts the point?
<nickr> usenet is so oldskool
<nickr> dtm: lots of other random shite in http://nick.industrialmeats.com/proj/art/.
<dtm> right on
<dtm> keep it going strong, brutha
<nickr> foshizzle
<dtm> nickr: have you ever had commercial exposure?
<nickr> No
<dtm> with your art
<nickr> None
<dtm> do you have any form of mass producable physical product
<dtm> or something that doesn't take a week
<nickr> Nope
<dtm> you could make posters huh
<dtm> and tshirts
<nickr> Yea
<nickr> I could do that
<nickr> but I haven't
<dtm> oic
<nickr> I don't have the resources
<mdupont> http://www.gnu.org/software/gnue/packages/docs/SupplyChain/purchasing.html#AEN179 <--- this is kinda interesting
<mdupont> is anyone working on that?
<dtm> nickr: well there is this one site where you can upload designs and they have a store template, and they print the design whenever someone makes a purchase.  and the materials you can print your graphic on, include tshirts, coffee mugs, and maybe posters.
<dtm> nickr: random jackasses like to do that
<dtm> they made Ellen Feiss shirts and such
<nickr> yea cafe press
<nickr> it sucks though
<dtm> yeah that's prolly it
<nickr> I mean, its okay for novelty shirts
<dtm> why
<dtm> low quality?
<nickr> but they only print on white or grey shirts, and its basicaolly a heat transfer jet print
<dtm> mmhm
<nickr> If I were going to make shirts from like the skull-front pictures, I'd want it silk screen on black
<dtm> could you sell that type of stuff for $20-30 per shirt?
<nickr> I have no idea.
<dtm> i mean, do people buy misc designs like that
<dtm> or posters
<dtm> ok
<nickr> just a sec
<dtm> i've never researched it.
<dtm> i have printed my own tshirt based on a pencil drawing
<dtm> it was ~$20
<nickr> Yea.
<nickr> I really don't like print-transfer shirts.
<nickr> its cheesey.
<dtm> why
<dtm> mine was thermal transfer of some kind and it was very durable
<nickr> yea
<dtm> that was in about 1996 and it still hasn't worn out
<nickr> it looks dumb, though.
<dtm> ?
<nickr> it doesn't have the flavor of silk screen
<dtm> hm i dunno.
<nickr> and yes its relatively reasonable for me to get silk screened versions of things
<dtm> i dont have much of a point of comparison
<nickr> in quantity its like 15-20
<dtm> what quantity?  hundreds?
<nickr> yea
<dtm> 200?
<dtm> that's too much
<nickr> the thingt is, even if I could, I wouldn't compromise on the quality and I don't have the where-with-all to go through the trouble of selling stuff.
<nickr> I'm an artist! My thing isn't retail!
<dtm> <nickr's art> u jerk
<dtm> ;->
<nickr> heh
<dtm> your art tells me that it desires liberation
<nickr> I'm not saying I wouldn't like to sell my stuff, I'm just saying I'm not into the process of selling it.
<dtm> it desires practical compromise
<dtm> why wont you set your art free nickr 
<dtm> ?!
<dtm> ok well i'll keep it in mind
<nickr> okay.
<dtm> <--- sales/marketing hackar
<dtm> u c
<nickr> Ahh I see
<nickr> :)
<dtm> in fact if you people dont mind, i think i'll try and do that now 
Action: dtm hax0r hotr.biz
<nickr> hm?
<dtm> working
<dtm> you should go to active-domain.com nickr, click 'register', and play with their tool to see what's available
<dtm> if you have like $7.95-$9.95 per domain to try out
<dtm> that helps with the marketability, if your domain name contains your keywords
<nickr> are they via OpenSRS?
<dtm> that's why i got primitiveart.biz
<dtm> they're an eNom reseller
<nickr> I have rusnov.net already
<dtm> and i dont know anything about enom
<dtm> iirc, enom is the root for .biz
<dtm> i could be entirely wrong
<dtm> however i use them so far based on price and tools
<dtm> they dont have any record of blatantly unethical behavios
<dtm> behavior
<dtm> but i'm reevaluating the domain registry/reseller industry right now and am entirely open to suggestions
<dtm> i have two domains at active-domain.com and several at gandi.net
<dtm> AD is merely a reseller, and gandi is ICANN certified, whatever that's worth
<nickr> go with whaworks, is my motto :)
<dtm> nickr: btw are you personally affiliated with any manner of meats which are industrial in nature?
<nickr> No
<dtm> yeah but i need seriously professoinal quality
<nickr> industrialmeats is an amusing vanity domain
<dtm> nothing flybynight
<dtm> nickr: ok
<dtm> well i have smuckola.org and i am in fact the head smuck.
<dtm> which is a name my mom gave me when i was an infant/toddler
<dtm> aka "smuck of a smo".
<nickr> I did the logo on www.industrialmeats.com, although I don't own the domain, I am friends with the owner.
<dtm> there is no explanation for these names
<dtm> oic
<nickr> rusnov.net is my personal vanity domain, though I haven't done anything with it, since the industrialmeats subdomain amuses me more
<dtm> does anyone know if in sql parlance (currently using mysql, will be pgsql later), what's the appropriate character for delimiting inside a database name
<dtm> ?
<dtm> is it best to call it dtm_database_test
<dtm> or use hyphens or what
<dtm> iirc it doesn't like hyphen.
<nickr> I've used underscores
<nickr> I don't know if that is most correct or not
<dtm> ok
Nick change: mdupont -> md-bk-0900CET
<dtm> omg i'm listening to a band called S.O.D. (Speak English or Die)
<dtm> i think it's rotting my brane?
<nickr> probably
<dtm> most liekly.
<nickr> wow, to register technoprimitive.* is only 35.80
<nickr> minus .com
<dtm> eh?  what do you mean "Minus .com"
<nickr> sans .com
<nickr> .biz, .net, .org, .us
<dtm> ?!
<dtm> oh, you mean on any TLD other than com
<nickr> AM I speaking swahili?
<nickr> yea
<nickr> every other aside from .com
<dtm> ok well .biz isn't bad
<nickr> well, all the interesting ones at least
<nickr> (I didn't bother with .cc, .ws, .cg, etc)
<dtm> how about techno-primitive.com
<nickr> heh
<nickr> I'd rather start a school of art than a company selling it! techno-primitivism.org
<nickr> FOLLOW ME OR DIE
<dtm> !?!?!?!
<dtm> d0h
<dtm> ok
<nickr> heh
<nickr> I'm just kidding
<dtm> how about technoprimitivism.com
<nickr> I think thats a bit pretentious
<dtm> ok
<dtm> you should start out by making a list of keywords
<nickr> like I said, I don't think I have the where-with-all to go through with setting up a store to sell this shite.
<dtm> and to do that, you write down anything offhand, search em on google, do 'view source' on the top ones and see their keywords, and then put some in at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ and find out what's a good keyword that's underutilized
<dtm> ok but you should register domain names just in case
<dtm> AH CAN HARP CHOO
<dtm> ^_^
<nickr> O_o
<dtm> yeah then you go to active-domain.com and search for various combinations of those keywords
<dtm> i have a feeling that your site could be popular even if it mostly proxies over to that sito.com or whatever it is
<nickr> teh hax0r art.com
<chillywilly> bah!
<dtm> U CANNUT HAB
<chillywilly> BAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAh
<dtm> art.com == 2 1337
<nickr> no
<dtm> chillywilly: !#@*%)
<nickr> teh-hax0r-art.com
<dtm> oh.
<dtm> yeah you can do that
<chillywilly> dtm: yea, something like that
<dtm> nickr: is that available
<dtm> SNAGGIT
<nickr> hah
<chillywilly> bah humbug
<chillywilly> grrrrrrr
<dtm> rowr
<nickr> dtm: So your proposal is for me to deep link my art from a keyword laden site
<chillywilly> RAAAAAAAAAAWR!
<dtm> nickr: well it'd be a start
<nickr> I need to find other technoprimitivists
<chillywilly> deep link this!
<nickr> :goatse:
<chillywilly> heheh
<dtm> nickr: i might be totally offbase but it seems like your genre is relatively unique, in terms of finding sites that are techno primitive galleries
<dtm> nickr: on their own
<dtm> it seems like the site you're on is not unlike mp3.com in nature
<dtm> in broad concept
<nickr> sito?
<dtm> you need to feature yourself more
<dtm> yeah
<nickr> sito is just a collab art site
<dtm> okay well anyway, we'll talk more when i get my crap togehter.
<dtm> :)
<dtm> but seriously if you find a domain name that rewls, dont be afraid of it
<dtm> if it's available
<nickr> Yes Sir.
<dtm> i usually spend about 5-10 hours just building keyword lists
<dtm> and doing a global keyword analysis
<dtm> but that's because i KNOW THE VALUE OF MY WORK  :)
<dtm> hehe
<dtm> <nickr's art> dont rub it in dtm
<nickr> weirdo
<dtm> yeah :/
<dtm> hey maybe you can make some desktop backgrounds
<dtm> like on themes.org or whatever
<nickr> I did that too
<nickr> observe backgrounds/ in my art/ dir.
<dtm> neato
Action: dtm observeth latereth
<dtm> chillywilly: 18:22 < dtm> does anyone know if in sql parlance (currently using mysql, will be pgsql later), what's the appropriate character for delimiting inside a
<dtm>              database name
<dtm> 18:23 < dtm> is it best to call it dtm_database_test
<dtm> 18:23 < dtm> or use hyphens or what
<dtm> chillywilly: do enlighten and inform at this time plz
<nickr> they are all photo based though
<dtm> photos are quaint
<dtm> <3
<nickr> hmm, there are some backgrounds missing
<nickr> huh, I wonder what I did with em.
<chillywilly> dtm: no
<dtm> chillywilly: what, then?
<dtm> chillywilly: underscores?
<nickr> I think he was saying that he wouldn't enlighten or inform you
<dtm> oh ok
<dtm> well i'll just take my business elsewhere
Action: dtm consults grandma's Barbie collection
<nickr> much better choice than chillywilly
<dtm> nickr: i noticed that you had some classic povray-ish looking stuff :)
<nickr> yea
<nickr> oldskool
<dtm> i had a friend who programming povray scripts with calculus
<dtm> to do nontrivial camera paths
<dtm> etc
<dtm> man it sucked back then coz it was so cpu intensive :)
<dtm> took FOREVER
<chillywilly> nickr: fuck off
<dtm> oh hey be nice
<chillywilly> dtm: don't make me beat you
<dtm> :-.
<dtm> i wouldnt do that
<nickr> yea
<nickr> those were the days
<dtm> oh we're talking about graphics again?  yeah
<dtm> how do i delete a user in mysql
<nickr> die
<dtm> hm that doesn't seem to work.  try again!

<jamest> argh!
Action: jamest thwaps anything within reach
Action: jamest then moves closer to things that were out of reach and thwaps that stuff too
<nickr> my advice: buy an engineers hammer
<nickr> theres nothing like the heft of a ball peen
<nickr> shatters monitors like nobody's business
<jamest> one great thing about my crash
<jamest> after that opcode imports ok now
<jamest> stability?  who needs it
<nickr> nobody
<nickr> neat
<dtm> nickr: jamest knows about that, because that's how the various KSU departments handle obsolete hardware in general, rather than donate or sell it to the needy.  jamest probably doesn't do that because the math dept is probably still about 10 years behind the state of the art and knows how to use what they have :)
<dtm> the other general depts like the residence hall dept and the campuswide computing dept, they take em out back and smash working hardware with sledgehammers
<dtm> in their private dumpster areas so nobody will know
<nickr> that sounds amusing
<nickr> I nede a job that can afford me such opportunities
<jamest> that's not far from the truth
<jamest> in 96 we still had amber monitors in use
<nickr> nice
<jamest> today I still have 486s being used at ltsp terms
<jamest> and P133s as windows boxes
<nickr> thats evil.
<jamest> up until 2 years ago I had an SparcStation1 as a font server
<jamest> i think it's 25MHz
<nickr> Thats not SO bad
<dtm> jamest: yeah and back then the departmental server was a sparc1 or 1+ or so, right?
<jamest> in 96 it was a Sun 4/330
<jamest> which had 32MB of ram
<nickr> ah, glorious m68k
<jamest> and 33Mhz
<dtm> when i was in the math dept there was a sun4m of some kind, like a sparc1 or 2
<dtm> the low end
<jamest> and had ~ 10 xterms hanging on it
<nickr> oh I'm thinking sun3
<dtm> nickr: yeha
<jamest> we had some 1s and 1+s
<jamest> had a clone of a 2
<jamest> i'm out o here
<jamest> l8r
<dtm> jamest: yeah?  like depot.cis.ksu.edu ?
<dtm> hehe
<dtm> the Solbourne
<jamest> :)
jamest (~jamest@adsl-64-216-111-58.dsl.tpkaks.swbell.net) left irc: "Client exiting"
<dtm> depot was retired because security became impossible
<dtm> that was the one on which I accidentally sent vulgarities to 'wall', received by upperclassmen, professors, and the departmental dean or whatever you call him.
<dtm> i thought i was sending it to the system in our dorm room.
<nickr> echo "fuck shit ass" | banner | wall
<dtm> but when your console is a 386 with 5MB of RAM, all the ttys look alike!
<nickr> aw yea
<dtm> yeah basically
<dtm> and then after the 2nd time i did that, I did this -->  alias wall 'echo "dont do that."'
<dtm> the dean or wohever, was actually dense enough to think i'd done it on purpose
<dtm> probably because his only knowledge of unix is to run 'pine'
<dtm> many of the people in charge of most of the technology at ksu at the time were the type who'd probably hire an intern to make it so that their unix account was only capable of running 'pine
<dtm> '
<dtm> so they could double click their terminal emulator icon and read email
<dtm> and tell people they're "on unix"
<nickr> they "know unix"
<dtm> coz i know some of them were printing all their email out, filing it in cabinets, and having their interns go across the building, charge photocopies to the neighboring dept, and hand-courier the printed out emails to their colleagues.  <-- this was done by the person in charge of campuswide computer literacy training
<dtm> YOU DOUBT ME?!
<dtm> i have two witnesses
<nickr> I believe you
<dtm> one being said courier
<dtm> the type of pseudologic that made me want to throw myslef off a building rather than share the planet
<dtm> at the time
<dtm> i was a rather passionate lad
<dtm> it SATURATED everything
<dtm> no escape
<dtm> all things crippled, all the time, nothing was safe.
<dtm> unexplainable
<dtm> oh what i wuldn't give for a "ghost of christmas past" moment with some of those administrators and professors
Action: dtm sweat
<nickr> THere is no escape, anywhere
<dtm> @*#%)@
<dtm> well at least i got it out of my face by leaving ksu
<nickr> yea.
<dtm> i can't imagine completing a degree there
<dtm> period
<dtm> i spent two solid years scouring beneath the surface, guerilla style, trying to choose a major based on how the corresponding department was administrated
<dtm> i.e. whether it was survivable to a non-institutionalized individual
<dtm> and my conclusion was that debatably if i'd been groomed for college my whole life and had an excellent primary education (mine was probably about a 4 out of 10, very poor) then i could have found a cubby hole
<dtm> some dept with up to 30 members, and either with no money or else so highly specialized that we got our own grants
<dtm> and equipment
<dtm> there were pockets of biochemistry here and there
<dtm> and indeed i changed my major to biochem, minor in physics, just for that reason
<dtm> but i didn't know jack so i left by default as the absolute last resort
<dtm> my standards were quite low
<dtm> but no dice
<dtm> (no madskillz)
<dtm> (no money)
<nickr> I wish I had mad skillz.
<nickr> Or at least a storng belief that I do.
<dtm> yes i believe the latter is in order
<nickr> I sure do like knives.
<nickr> ANd swords-
<nickr> heck bladed items in general
<nickr> axes are nice
<dtm> :-.
<nickr> cehck out this item in my amazon wishlist..

<nickr> I just love the name
<nickr> brilliant marketing
<dtm> Editorial Reviews
<dtm> From the Manufacturer
<dtm> He sauntered into camp like he owned the place. Cool, confident, in charge. It wasn't the gear...or was it? He was carrying an enviable axe. I couldn't take my eyes off it. He told me it was designed in Finland, where chopping wood is a national pastime. The 23-1/2-inch Axeman Cometh lightweight axe with sheath. Forged steel heads give this axe superior edge retention. A unique handle made from polymide fiberglass that's injection molded around the head guar
<nickr> yea
<nickr> brilliant
<nickr> simply brilliant
<dtm> hehehe yeah.
<nickr> its the perfect size to
<nickr> tooo
<nickr> it satisfies my numerological requirements, that is
<nickr> 23.5" ;)
<dtm> why is that required
<nickr> The law of fives, my friend
<nickr> the law of fives is never wrong
<dtm> in what way is that related to five
<dtm> my friend
<nickr> 2+3 = 5
<nickr> 23.5 is a very nice number
<nickr> a five and a 23
<nickr> which is really another five
<nickr> plus it makes me all tingly inside
