6/13    ilyas, of the entire motd how many do you admit to post and respond?
        According to my spy program it appears that you've posted 1/4 of the
        questions and 1/2 of the responses.
        \_ The entire motd is me having a conversation with myself.  I wrote
           you AND your spy program too.  Down, rebellious subroutine, down!
             -- ilyas
           \_ back to the game grid, program!
        \_ Hehe, your spy program?  I have one, too, but it can't be perfect,
           thus naming names isn't appropriate.
        \_ Quick test, o guru: who am i?
        \_ spy program? how?
           \_ between fstat, watching the proc tables, and user activity you
              can vaguely correlate motd edits with active users but since
              a lot of action happens *very* fast and some of us merge in
              other's edits by hand which can take a few minutes, others are
              copying in via ssh or other methods, etc, etc, etc, it isn't
              really possible to guarantee that who he thinks is editing the
              motd is really the person doing the editing.  my scripts are
              pretty accurate but there isn't enough accurate informaton
              available to guarantee who is doing what so i mostly keep it
              to myself.
                \_ give us a report please? I want to get an estimate of
                   the # of people modifying and reading motd.

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
