dselect for bikes...great new idea
by Jenny_Hopkins＠toby-churchill.com 05 Feb '02

Hi All, I had this incredibly bizarre dream a few nights ago where my motorbike had an extra foot-pedal, which when clicked acted like dselect, debian's package manager thingie. When I clicked it and requested a new bit of fairing, it came up with a bunch of other things i would also need, such as nuts and grommets, and would I like it to install them? Anyone got the capital for a new investment? :-) Jen.

#apt-get remove libc6 "......blah.....To continue, type in the phrase "Yes, I understand this may be bad"..." Excellent. Beats the blue screen of death any day.

linux in schools

Hey - apparently WYLUG are trying to get schools using linux. This guy just told me: >I think all schools should have some linux boxen, but M$ are giving schools "deals" where you can get buckets of software for not too much money >subscription, surprise surprise) but you have to buy it for all you boxes, even those that can't run it! No wonder the technical suite is full of row after row of "kiss bill's arse" logos in both my daughters' schools. Jen

Dentist?
by Jonathan McDowell 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Not quite sure what counts as off topic here, but it's certainly not on topic for the main list. Not what I'd call social either though. :) Can anyone recommend a dentist in Norwich? I'm not in dire need, but I could do with a checkup. Preferably someone who isn't too drill happy... (I'm off the Drayton Road if that makes any difference, but I'm not too fussed about it being close.)

Ah, I thought he'd been reading obscure SF again. That was like a cross between Starlight Barking (Dodie Smith of the 101 dalmations fame) and RedRobe (J.C Grimwood, probably not famous). Funnily enough, though, I can actually see David, deadpan expression, complete with chauffeur's cap, driving a family of socks about on an alien surface. Anyway, my current efforts on fetch/sendmail show complete inability to press the ON button on the washing machine.
