So I have a bunch of domains, many of which I don't currently use. Some, I haven't even told anyone about, so there's no way anyone can know that I can (or expect to) receive email at them. Early Tuesday, I did my occasional check of my sendmail logs and found something I had missed. Since

Been there, done that, was given the t-shirt. (Yeah, at a previous place of employment, management gave us in the software development dept. t-shirts to commemorate shutting down the mainframe.) I've had to write code that could interoperate with that beast and the UNIX servers and AS/400 syste

Yes, so? I'm not talking about D[r]OS[s]. I'm talking about POSIX-conforming operating systems, i.e. *real* operating systems. ;-) Specifically, we're talking about writing shell scripts for such operating systems. We're not talking about portability to other operating systems. I've seen all k

As indicated in earlier msgs, I'm fooling around with Enet channel bonding and it's sorta working - yay. I'm also trying to run a DHCP server on one such machine and the dhcpd is unhappy - it complains about multiple interfaces on the same subnet, even though I've told dhcpd to use bond0 instead o

Check out my resume: http://www.sigio.com/~jason/resume.html I've encountered these situations a thousand times. So, you tell management that if they want the software to work correctly, you need to spend an hour or two to write a wrappper script that properly cracks the output of your propriet

I don't disagree with the use of the word "broken" and I think your analogy misses the mark by a long shot. There is nothing "broken" in your description of the conventions of driving. You are simply describing how something. It's like you're saying what characters are and are not allowed in fi

The fact that there is prior art does not prevent a patent from being issued, (as long as the patent clerk is unaware of the prior art), nor does it prevent someone using a bad patent from scaring an "infringer" into paying some "nominal royalty", just to avoid any type of legal action. Only one o
