5/24    I'm baaaack.  I'm doing recruiting for the summer.  At Taos, no less!
        UNIX SysAdmins who're interested in contract jobs, feel free to
        contact me (chris@csua or christine@taos.com).  There's a particularly
        cool one working at Apple open immediately.
                                                            \- there is no
                                                               less --psb

        \_ What's the going rate these days?
           \_ From what I've witnessed, it's all over the map.  You're at the
              whim at whatever companies are willing to pay, and however
              desperate they are.  Since the market's turning around, some
              companies see the light and are paying better (I'm saying
              $50ish/hour for mid-Sr. level SA)...other companies are
              still in denial and are offering ridiculously low rates ($20/hr
              for a mid-level SA which I think is horrible).  Developers are
              getting measurably better rates than SAs, as are DBAs.   --chris
              \_ Are they "Still Sleazy after all these years?"
                 \_ It's the nature of the business.
              \_ Are they *finding* people at $20/hour?!
                 \_ Well, for entry-level (read right out of high school), this
                    is fine.
        \_ It makes him feel important or something to screw up other people's
           posts.  Or maybe he thinks we're all too stupid to know what he's
           talking about if he puts his comments after the person he's
           replying to.  Either way it's pretty god damned rude and makes it
           more difficult to follow a thread.
           \_ You're locked in your traditions, young motder.  psb transcends
              your formatting to show you that any body of text is just a
              body of text.  Do not attempt to format the psb; that would be
              impossible.

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

1/27    Interesting list of useful unix tools. Shout out to

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

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

11/12   How does one find out if a system has rootkit installed?
        \_ Unix or m$?
           \_ Unix. On M$ I always assume it's compromised.
              \_ Install Tripwire before you plug your server into The Net?
                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

7/24    Is dos2unix available somewhere?  Someone added all those Ctrl-M's to
