  • You mean Groucho Marx?

    That joke is nearly a hundred years old. He is the one who first said it.

    Who the fuck is a Zilean? Everyone should know the Marx Brothers. Karl was the one who wasn’t funny, though he tried and people missed the punchline.

    But they kind of didn’t, as they ended up in punch lines. Too much metaphysical humor to his works.


  • Had a content filter server I had built. Dansguardian.

    Installed some new packages, which I had wgot (joking) at / as root. Fuck, I was a dumbass kid.

    After I installed the packages, I created the folder /installs and then: holy shit, mv is naturally recursive?!

    mv * /installs

    Well, let’s ls to see if the root directory is clean.

    ls not found.

    Um… ok, this is a call center, seems to still be working as everything is still in RAM, but as it is working as a proxy for content filtering, you could lose the company MILLIONS, so think fast!

    I rebuilt another server, swapped it with ninja speed, fixed the other server, and swapped it back with ninja speed.

    And everyone asked me if I was ok. “Nothing. I mean, yeah, good.”

    edit: mv is recursive by default, in contrast to cp, which requires -R. Scary lesson to learn on the job.

    edit 2: just in case someone doesn’t understand this, I moved the entire operating system into a subfolder /installs in a production environment…

    If the computer had rebooted, no one would have internet at all, as DNS would fail. Fortune 500 company. Ah damn, that was some stress.

    “Hey, is everything working alright?”

    “Yeah.”

    “Hey is everything still working? Everything good?”

    “Yes, why do you keep asking that?”

    No raisin.








  • There is a mexican food truck that will give me two meals worth of food for $10. I haven’t eaten “fast” food in a long time, but I live in the city. There is an indian grocery store that sells samosas, as well as other items, hot and ready.

    I would rather hit a Quick Trip or Circle K before I would touch McDonald’s or any YUM! brand, basically any fast food or chain. And I am still not keen on gas station food. I eat from locally owned if I eat out, usually. (grabbing food while going on site at work will cause me to make exceptions: still won’t do McDonald’s. I have done Arby’s if they have a good deal, or Subway has a good meal of the day).
