rindolf | gordonfish: hi. norton [anti] virus blocked *.shlomifish.org completely :[[[ |
mst | rindolf: they do that |
mst | rindolf: my favourite was kaspersky unpacking zip files into /tmp/ but then dying utterly if the result was over 2Gb |
mst | rindolf: I ended up setting up a once per minute cron job that killed them so everything except the zip bombs kept flowing email wise |
rindolf | mst: heh. |
mst | rindolf: I was $ISP *ops* |
mst | rindolf: making it all continue to flow was my job |
mst | rindolf: fixing things -properly- was then delegated to the relevant department ;) |
mst | rindolf: I'd just duct tape the shit out of it and then hand it off and get back to my actual job ;) |
rindolf | mst: i see. |
mst | rindolf: I was the only non-manager with root on every unix box, enable on every router, and administrator on every windows system - if departments argued about whose problem something was, it would tend to land on my desk with a "just fix this" tag attached |
mst | happily, at that point the opinions of people who -could- have fixed it but instead passed the buck were no longer considered interesting by upper management |
rindolf | mst: i see. |
mst | rindolf: this is what turned me into ... well, me ;) |
rindolf | "It doesn't take a witch to fix this computer. All it takes is a Phillips Screwdriver." |
rewt | only witches use phillips screwdrivers though |
mst | rindolf: rewt: though a witch -holding- a screwdriver causes a lot of things to fix themselves |
mst | rindolf: having a multitool with a screwdriver set has caused a lot of problems to cease just from me walking towards them |
buu | haha |
buu | mst: I have a CYBERKNIFE |
rindolf | mst: heh. "Emma Watson played Hermione in the Harry Potter films, but she doesn’t need a wand to kick your ass." |
mst | buu: I was carrying a Victorinox Cybertool at the time |
mst | rindolf: it is ... unwise ... to come after me |
mst | however, sleep now |
rindolf | heh |
thrig | " setpos |
thrig | "$ which holding a screwdriver" doesn't turn up much by way of commands |
rindolf | thrig: 'witch' ≠ 'which' |
gordonfish | Which witch had to itch like a bitch due to the stich for being a snitch while stayin' at the Ritz? |
rindolf | gordonfish++ |
mason | Which witch is which? |
thrig | I don't think we're in wichita anymore |
gordonfish | The one in the bin |
zgu | no witch in $PATH |
thrig | black cats could cross your path... |
zgu | cat is indeed in my path |
zgu | if dog is in the same path they either get locked in a mexican standoff or start chasing each other |
thrig | the cat invariably ends up some other trie |
