9/9     Thank you letter writing hint: keep it simple, do not go off like some
        bumbling idiot at the end telling them the source of your nick name,
        do not use lines like "I really enjoyed it as much as any interview
        can be enjoyed" or talk about their 'diverse' backgrounds.  That PC
        shit is garbage once you leave the ivory tower.  Keep it to a simple
        thank you and mention something about their company and why you're
        The One and that you look forward to hearing from them.  Blah.
        \_  Thank you very much for your contribution to the motd.  i simply
            *loved* reading it.  reading your post really made my day.
            did i ever tell you where i got the nickname "troller"? well,
            it all started in college when i decided to get a csua account.
            it's really a great story(see attatched pages.)  among the
            many fantastic skills i learned in college was facilitating
            diversity through...oh, god i just can't continue.
        \_ Thanks. This must be the first time in known history that someone
           volunteered potentially useful advice on the motd without
           provocation. And no, the rest of you should not bother making a
           "that's trivial" or "that's lame advice" thread.
           \_ I loved it!  It was better than Cats!  I could see it again and
              again!
                \_ but you still haven't told me where you got your
                   nickname from.
        \_ Yeah forget that shit. Stick to offering blowjobs.

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
