6/17   Who the hell is fucking up the motd?
        \_ Use TAB on the first line you idiot, or learn to indent. ;)
        \_ what's wrong with the motd?
           \_ It just happened again.  Motdwatch shows a whole bunch of lines
              removed and then replaced with slightly different indentation.
              The whole process also destroys any recent additions, including
              those made with motdedit.
              \_ It's reiffin.  He edits motd.public, then scp's his changed
                 file.  Overwrites a whole bunch of shit.
                 \_ I don't scp anything.  I'm merging multiple motds back
                    together after others have munged each other's posts with
                    other methods.  Yes, squish the guy who is restoring all
                    the posts that got destroyed by others and keeping the motd
                    in one piece.  Good idea.
                    in one piece.  Good idea.  I'll use sdiff in the future to
                    preserve your precious tabs.
                \_ how do you know it's him?
                 \_ What a hoser, eh?
                \_ SQUISH SQUISH SQUISH! We haven't had a squishfest since
                   the late 90s (it's FUN), let's start with reiffin.

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
