12:54.48 | sorphin | TomW: you won't |
12:55.04 | TomW | whew, ok, remember you said that. |
12:55.22 | sorphin | TomW: sjhill always gets slapped.. it's a greeting between us |
12:55.37 | sorphin | TomW: for some odd reason.. i had you /ignored... not sure why |
12:55.38 | TomW | PVR-350 will be here today, now, if I can get the "other" components to this thing delivered. |
12:56.02 | TomW | sorphin: I chewed you out for dumping fishhead in my lap |
12:56.15 | sorphin | TomW: yeah.. guess i forgot to clear it.. oops |
12:56.29 | sorphin | TomW: well, fishhead is perm gone |
12:56.45 | sorphin | TomW: he thinks he 'won' cuz we can't harass him any nor hold the webpal over his head |
12:56.45 | TomW | finally pissed someone off big-time, eh? |
12:57.12 | sorphin | TomW: i got sick of him |
12:57.19 | TomW | nod |
12:57.19 | sorphin | TomW: so he got +b'd |
12:57.53 | TomW | I have most of my parts stuck in a warehouse somewhere. :( |
12:57.56 | sorphin | TomW: sorry for sicking him on you |
12:58.01 | sorphin | TomW: eh? |
12:58.07 | TomW | and a KnoppMyth distro to try out. |
13:00.45 | TomW | looks like I will have to trash "golly@openhardware.net" and create another throw-away email account. golly is attracting too much spam anymore. |
13:00.56 | sorphin | TomW: i know that feeling |
13:01.04 | sorphin | TomW: i'm gonna have to chuck dans@captainrock.com |
13:01.07 | sorphin | it's getting that way too |
13:01.31 | sorphin | for folder seperation |
13:01.34 | TomW | sorphin: yeah, but they *promised* they wouldn't divulge my "personal information". heh, right. |
13:01.41 | *** join/#elinux [BalancE] (~balance@pknwall.szivarvanynet.hu) |
13:01.41 | sorphin | TomW: seems i'm gettinga a new breed of spam |
13:01.52 | TomW | in waht way |
13:02.03 | sorphin | getting lots of frozen messages now... cuz they're all *@captainrock.com |
13:02.16 | sorphin | any word you could come up w/ in place of * |
13:02.19 | TomW | yeah, I get that occasionally with mozilla |
13:02.22 | sorphin | cuz i don't use a catchall for that domain |
13:02.50 | sorphin | course, i'm at an impasse w/ exim now |
13:03.12 | TomW | ibot: exim |
13:03.18 | | Message Transfer Agent for Unix systems. URL: http://www.exim.org |
13:03.59 | sorphin | better than sendmail by far |
13:04.29 | TomW | I use qmail, have used it since I put up my first server. |
13:04.45 | sorphin | TomW: i don't care for dan bernstein nor his software (nor sw style) |
13:06.02 | TomW | yeah, well, back in the days when I didn't know linux (1996), I tried to config sendmail and got stymied by all the regular expressions (sed scripts). I got Qmail up an running with virtual domains in a few hours, so I stayed with it. |
13:06.18 | sorphin | TomW: anyways, my mail is handled weird, so i gotta figure out how to work around it, whilest still blackholing dans@ directly |
13:06.37 | TomW | sorphin: interesting, all these years of doing software, I swore that I would never do "unix". heh |
13:06.56 | sorphin | TomW: you're only doing "unix" according to "sco" |
13:07.45 | TomW | now I am sorry that I didn't, life is so much easier. I don't know about you, but I have a number of professional programmers that I have converted to linux. |
13:08.10 | TomW | So, did CosmicPenguin get a "real" job? |
13:08.28 | TomW | CosmicPenguin: you going to be collecting a bi-weekly paycheck now? |
13:09.53 | TomW | brb |
13:12.11 | sorphin | TomW`gone: yes, he'll be working for AMD.. and i know what you mean.. sorta.. i 'found' linux on a BBS I used to go to back in 93.. was just a couple floppies in the download section.. a copy of the SLS dist.. i'd never heard of it, but it sounded neat, so i grabbed it and ran it.... never looked back |
13:13.21 | TomW | whoa! good stuff! |
13:13.44 | TomW | about CosmicPenguin, I mean. |
13:15.27 | TomW | sorphin: yeah, I was interested in putting a webserver online (instead of paying for hosting) and someone told me about linux (he called it links). I was talking to a friend a few weeks later about "this linux" and he had a 6 cd pack, he gave it to me and said "I cannot do anything with this, maybe you can". |
13:16.02 | TomW | sorphin: It took me about 22 installs before I figured out what I was doing. |
13:16.11 | TomW | slackware |
