Re: [OT] Thought for the Day

I wrote an article about Apache::Motd for UNIX SysAdmin magazine (March 
2001 issue). Here's the link:

For the record I did email directly an explanation of what -o does and to exclude it 
for clean fortunes, and that it's more fun to make your own. I have quotes from all 
the Dogma movies that are called within my mod_perl index.html on my website. =)

Suddenly this thread is on-topic.

 
 everyone might want to look at Apache::MOTD - it's a similar idea to
 the Unix motd functionality whose implementation is quite clever.

John mentions /usr/games/fortune -o, which will print offensive messages.
They are quite funny though. To use it without offensive messages (just
funny ones) just don't pass it options.

### replace newlines in fortunes with br's

I have the exact same thing set up for my website. Just without the dogma of
course :)

I'm thinking that I'll have to collect plenty of Deep Thoughts, to change
the general tone of my site.
