4/1     I am so fucking tired of being overwritten that I will gleefully
        nuke the motd rather than watch this bullshit continue.
        \_ Please use motdedit.  Seriously guys, use your head.
           \_ Please go fuck yourself.  Seriously, dude, fuck you.
              \_ Ooh, well reasoned response, you got me.
                 \_ Slightly more reasoned than suggesting motdedit.
        \_ can someone PLEASE change motdedit so that it'll delete the
           trailing \s+ in motd left by a dumb ass emacs user? -annoyed vi'er
           \- use (setq next-line-max-inserted-newlines 1) --psb
              \_ i think he's complaining about emacs users, not that he is
                 a clueless emacs user who is concerned about his own extras.
        \_ Wah wah wah, I am so selfish and childlike that I will
           destory the motd rather than use a free tool that makes
           it easy to co-operatively use it.
           \_ except for the fact that motdedit munges the crap out of the
              motd.  you get what you pay for.
              \_ Good point.  I'll use MSWord.  -John
                 \_ At least MSWord can properly lock a shared file.

9/26    I remember there was web version of the motd with search function
        (originally due to kchang ?).  The last time I used it it was hosted
        on the csua website but I can't remember its url (onset of dementia?)
        now. Can somebody plz post it, tnx.

9/4     It looks like there are some issues with wallall at the moment. Any
        plans for it getting fixed? I can run wall, but wallall just gives an
        error.
        \_ Asking questions on the motd will not get any attention from
           any undergrad. You should email politburo or perhaps csua. -ausman

4/19    Motd updater thingy seems to be broken, does anyone know why?
        If not, I will take a look later in the day. -ausman
        \_ /etc/motd.public is not getting copied into /etc/motd for a while.
           \_ Now it works and no one knows why. Strange. -ausman

2/6     Um, what happened to http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~myname ?
        "The requested URL /~myname/ was not found on this server."
        \_ Try emailing root or politburo. I don't think that the
           undergrads use this machine anymore. -ausman
        \_ Ausman is mostly right. LDAP went down due to an expired cert and
           took down most of the rest of our stuff. It's probably a thing with

2/24    What newsreader should I use on soda?
        \_ USENIX? You serious? Everyone switched to RSS.
           \_ I think you mean usenet not usenix.  usenet was generally much
              better than blogs / rss (cf. comp.lang.c, comp.lang.perl,
              the usenet oracle, alt.* with digg, slashdot, etc.)
           link:reader.google.com is the best
