As a side issue, I'm interested in picking up a low-spec box that is a)working and b)megacheap, to serve as a firewall (running Deb). So if anyone is interested.... e-mail me! ;) No monitor, keyboard, mouse or even HD needed! (of course, if you can offer me a high end box for megacheap I don't mind! ;) Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

I must have had withdrawal symptoms, as I had to use the Mac OS for a week (although it DID play DVD's better than Ogle does). 3. Cliff Richard=Richard Stallman... maybe some sort of saintly thing? 4. Rolf Harris... beyond me! Nice guy, though (in the dream) -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

I'm jealous! I've not had a linux dream for ages. *Rolf Harris* though? And *sir* Cliff? What is your self-psychological analysis from this dream scenario, then? I went to hear Richard Stallman talk yesterday, most dynamic guy. Jen

Oh my god. I had my first linux based dream last night... <gulp> I dreamt that Rolf Harris joined ALUG and asked me to help him with his Gnome desktop (dunno why he asked ME). Also, I bumped into Richard Stallman, who was actually Cliff Richard in disguise! Oh dear oh dear oh dear! ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Mark asked me:- > What sites do you go for when the servers are not running well? ;-) That's when I go on my lunchbreak! (No, really, prospective employers, I am working hard on the problem!) Actually, I have found having a cigarette to be one of the best problem solving techniques- sometimes you just get too caught up in a problem to see an alternative approach. Swearing profusely also seems to help. Luckily the servers I administer have uptimes of 6-9 months, not counting flood, fire, and other acts of "workmen". My stock question to most server problem calls off-site is "did you have workmen working in the office yesterday?". They put up a shelf in one room, they manage to get sawdust in the server in another? How? I don't know. "Act of Workmen"! Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

> http://bbspot.com/News/2002/03/vatican.html Nice site- I especially liked the article on "Linux Delayed by Microsoft's Army of Evil Monkeys"- http://bbspot.com/News/2000/5/MS_Linux_delay.html I think I encountered some of those Evil Monkeys on a Learning Tree training course (company paid for it, not me, thank god)! (And they were armed with AMD Moron processors! http://bbspot.com/news/2000/5/amd_moron.html ) Ricardo, Glad that he's found YET another spoof news site for when the servers are running A-OK -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze
