5/6     /csua/bin/me (formerly motdedit) actually works now.  Please use it.
        \_ no really, it really does work now.
           \_ a) having your username associated with the motd file eliminates
              anonymity. b) most motd posts are anonymous. you do the math.
              \_ Get a life.  if someone wanted to track down motd entries,
                 it's trivial.  just use the script.  or at least use vi.
              \_ Make the motd.public editable only by the system motdedit.
                 \_ And then someone locks it for hours... try again.  This
                    way people in general can avoid stepping on toes, and
                    the random luser/unfortunate soul that leaves their lock
                    doesn't have to be pummeled and require a lart invocation
                    on their tired ass.
        \_ wait, weren't you saying the same thing a few weeks ago?  what part
           didn't work?
           \_ The post was for those who may have missed it.
              \_ /csua/bin/motdedit.new was last modified on May 3rd... so
         \_ Fight the Power! Dont use motedit! No more rules no more
            conformity!
                 what's new?

        \_ mp3 whore!  Hundreds of gigs!  Free Warez!  Woo hoo!  divx! yes!
                 \_ is it that hard to read?  The only thing changed was a
                    system("/csua/bin/mtd") at the end to apply your changes.
                    --scotsman
                    \_ well, considering I don't know what /csua/bin/me
                       looked like before May 3rd, reading the /csua/bin/me
                       now won't tell me what changed, now will it?

   \_ die you  [conformityd], you
\_ Fight the Power! Dont use motedit! No more rules no more conformity!
            \_ You will conform and you will like it.
   \_ die you  [conformityd], you. This is readable. Get the Man off my back!

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
