19:23.55 | rsimpkins | Do we hve netsplits going on or what? |

19:27.09 | macnewbold | nobody else is going in and out |
19:34.11 | rsimpkins | I need an idea.... I want to parse a big log every day, and send an e-mail if there is anything out of the ordinary. The log is almost identical every day. |
19:34.29 | rsimpkins | But I'd only like an e-mail if things are found. |
19:34.55 | rsimpkins | Something like, cat /var/biglog | grep -v "stuff I know about" | mail -s "stuff I don't know" someone@example.com |
19:35.44 | rsimpkins | I could probably do something like grep -v "stuff" | grep -q ??? && mail |
19:35.59 | rsimpkins | Just a little confused how I'd tackle that one. |
19:37.16 | rsimpkins | actually, maybe that is all I need to do? |
19:37.38 | jsmith | rsimpkins: Something wrong with using "logwatch"? |
19:38.02 | jsmith | rsimpkins: You could certainly do it with grep/sed/awk, but I think it'll probably be more flexible to use something like logwatch |
19:38.11 | rsimpkins | jsmith: I do, I'm trying to focus in on a very specific case. |
19:38.23 | rsimpkins | I've got my own logwatch modules, etc. |
19:38.57 | jsmith | rsimpkins: Ah... gotcha. (I still don't understand why logwatch isn't doing what you want, but I'll trust you) |
19:39.08 | jsmith | rsimpkins: In that case, grep is your friend :-) |
19:39.09 | tvc123 | rsimpkins: you could just run it through grep -v and pull out the things you expect to be there |
19:39.31 | tvc123 | reads the backlog yeah just like you said |
19:39.33 | rsimpkins | tvc123: Yeah, the trick was optionally sending an e-mail. I'm pretty sure ending in && mail is my answer. |
19:39.35 | jsmith | rsimpkins: Obviously, if you give us more details, we'll give you a detailed answer :-p |

20:57.50 | goozbach | (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) |
20:58.20 | goozbach | and how can you have a problem with that scene when he does a barrel roll in his car and knocks an explosive off the bottom on a crane? |
21:00.16 | eightyeight | ah. true |
21:00.22 | eightyeight | forgot about that scene |
21:01.00 | eightyeight | however, i'd like to see you flex your toes, do a roundhouse, and keep the pedal on your foot |
21:05.17 | goozbach | heck, they may just be stuck hearitly on his shoes from the force it took to break the bearings |

22:01.23 | eightyeight | ok... |
22:01.37 | eightyeight | you know, there might be a windicator for that. |
22:02.04 | levi | Have you guys seen the mormon.org banner ad with the fake 'Chat About Faith'? |
22:04.35 | eightyeight | ? |
22:06.34 | levi | It's a standard banner ad size, has the church logo on the right above a button that says 'Join the Conversation' and then there's a chat box on the left/center that has a fake scrolling conversation, completely with txt abbreviations. |
22:06.45 | levi | s/completely/complete/ |
22:07.45 | fozzmoo | gasps |
22:07.48 | fozzmoo | That's awful! |
22:08.08 | TodPunk | I don't get it. Why do we care? |
22:08.41 | levi | I dunno. Maybe you don't. |
22:08.53 | TodPunk | I'm willing to try, if we can find a reason. |

22:09.30 | levi | I was just curious if anyone else had run across it, and what they thought of it if they did. |
22:10.00 | eightyeight | hmm. i must me missing it. i'm not running an adblocker, and i don't see it |
22:10.05 | TodPunk | I have not. I thought, based on fozzmoo's reaction, that I was supposed to muster some sort of response, which the data hadn't warranted yet. |
22:10.12 | fozzmoo | I, for one, am glad the scrolling conversation is fake. I think it would be terrible if they were scrolling actual conversations in the ad.] |
22:10.26 | eightyeight | s/me/be/ |
22:10.54 | levi | Well, I certainly wouldn't want real private conversations scrolling live in an ad. |
22:11.34 | eightyeight | i don't see a single ad on the site, actually |
22:11.39 | eightyeight | tries IE |
22:11.44 | levi | What site are you looking at? |
22:11.53 | levi | I saw this on some random web page. |
22:12.01 | eightyeight | http://mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/ |
22:12.02 | eightyeight | oh |
22:12.15 | levi | It was cadillacforums.com |
22:12.38 | levi | But it was a google ad, I think. |
22:12.47 | eightyeight | i see |
22:13.01 | eightyeight | i misread that the ad itself was on mormon.org |
22:13.07 | fozzmoo | I was confused too. |
22:13.17 | thaddeusq | me too. |
22:13.22 | eightyeight | which surprised me a bit, actually, thinking all lds church sites were ad-free |
22:13.30 | fozzmoo | TodPunk: My 'reaction' was facetious. :) |
22:13.36 | thaddeusq | I run an ad blocker, so I don't see ads across the tubes |
22:13.51 | levi | It's advertising the church website, not advertising *on* the church website. |
22:14.06 | eightyeight | yeah. i understand now |
22:14.34 | TodPunk | fozzmoo: story of my life |
22:16.37 | JoshH | wonders if the church has a call center full of live chatters |
22:16.51 | TodPunk | they do, if I recall correctly |
22:16.56 | levi | I dunno, I didn't click on the button. |
22:17.04 | TodPunk | missionaries, specifically |
22:17.06 | JoshH | are they in india? |
22:17.07 | levi | Maybe they have the MTC kids doing taht now. |
22:17.29 | eightyeight | i would imagine so |
22:17.33 | levi | When I was in the MTC, we were pressed into call center service for the TV ads. |
22:17.44 | eightyeight | as was i |
22:17.51 | tensai | not I, ha ha! |
22:17.56 | JoshH | heh, that's funny |
22:18.51 | TodPunk | doesn't know much about the MTC |
22:19.55 | levi | We did outbound calls to people who had already called the 800 number in the ads to get a free video or whatever, and we asked them if they would allow missionaries to deliver it. |
22:20.08 | levi | I was not very fond of that. |
22:20.16 | unum | had to call back three times |
22:22.10 | eightyeight | i didn't care for it just for the fact that i was eager to get out of the mtc and into the field |
22:22.40 | eightyeight | i felt that the call center was wasting my time. it felt forced, and not something i opted in to do |
22:22.52 | levi | I just hate making phone calls. |
22:23.05 | levi | I also hate knocking on doors. |
22:23.15 | JoshH | i hate talking on phones period |
22:23.20 | levi | Sort of a mild social phobia thing. |
22:23.23 | JoshH | i hate texting too, but i always text anyone unless i absolutely need to speak |
22:23.29 | TodPunk | eightyeight: that's how I would probably feel about tracting in general |
22:23.56 | JoshH | join the chat and ask "are you forced to do this in the mtc?" |
22:24.15 | levi | It's not showing me the ad anymore. |
22:24.19 | JoshH | then say you won't convert because you disagree with the practice |
22:24.24 | eightyeight | it wasn't technically forced. i was free to stay in my dorm room, and study if i wished |
22:24.38 | eightyeight | i just had to have my companion with me, who may want to be in the call center |
22:24.51 | tensai | JoshH: say you won't convert because you disagree with their choice of long distance phone carrier :) |
