10/13   Second WALKING robot out of Japan.  First one was Honda's ASIMO.
        http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/QRIO
        Is anybody else even in this field?
        \_ learn to scroll.  Specifically, downwards.
        \_ More importantly, why bother being in this field?  Is building a
           robotic version of a human really all that useful?  I'd rather
           have numerous cheaper specialized robots than 1 general purpose
           one that can sort of do a number of things ok.  Like it would be
           nice if my vacuum cleaner would just turn on and clean up when
           I'm not around and then go back to it's closet.
           \_ Or a robot grammarian.          \_ its god damn it. it's not hard
           \_ I think such vacuum cleaner aleardy exists.
           \_ Or a robot grammarian.
           \_ Wait until they have sex slave robots made in the image of
              your choosing. Then you'd have something.
        \_ Wasn't the first one a Honda/Sony joint venture?

8/30    Is wall just dead? The wallall command dies for me, muttering
        something about /var/wall/ttys not existing.
        \_ its seen a great drop in usage, though it seems mostly functional.

11/20   Are there tools that can justify a chunk of plain ASCII text by
        replacing words with words of similar meaning and inserting/removing
        commas into the text?  I received a 40-line plain text mail where
        all the lines are justified on left and right.  Every word and comma
        is followed by only one space, and every period is followed by two
        spaces.  The guy is my kid's karate instructor which I don't think is

10/24  What's an easy way to see if say column 3 of a file matches a list of
       expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
       to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
       I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
       was wondering if there was some magic way to do this.
       \_ UNIX has no magic. Make a shell script to produce the ask or egrep

11/21   Lifehacker's recommending Dreamhost as a personal web hosting service.
        Apart from csua, who do you guys use? --erikred
        \_ What do you want to use it for? Do you need CGI or PHP?  My
           brother worked for Dreamhost and said they are unethical. In
           fact, he sued them. This refers to their treatment of customers
           and employees both. I don't know who  or what "Lifehacker" is,
