10/29 Do we have any motd archives going back to the 80s?
\_ I *used* to have some, but moved them to
/csua/tmp/mehlhaff/motd_archive, and then some idiot went and
cleaned out all 'old' files from /csua/tmp. I might have offsite
backups, but dont want to pullthem backup if they're just going to
get deleted again. -EricM
\_ Given that quite a few people seem to be running motd archivers,
I think it's a safe bet that they'd stay around somewhere, and
it'd be a really cool thing to have. -John
\_ would have been interesting to compare the political battle:
Reagan vs. Carter, Reagan vs. Mondale (?)
\_ I just looked up election week from 1996, and it was all
about random technical shit. The motd, like the country
in general, has never been this divided, politicized,
on angry.
\_ where is this located?
\_ Past ennui, make a left at disgruntled,
frustrated despair will be on your right.
If you hit blind rage, you've gone too far.
\_ You mean like aaron?
\_ Most of the alumni who post on the motd
and wall about political junk were still
in school in 1996 and were too busy studying
and worrying about graduating to waste
time w/ political non-sense.
\_ Reagan vs. Carter: There wouldn't be much discussion.
Carter was an utter disaster for this country. If you were
old enough to remember you wouldn't even consider that a
debate. Carter is now running around certifying stolen
elections for his socialist pals in South America. The man
Carter was an utter disaster for this country. If
you were old enough to remember you wouldn't even
consider that a debate. Carter is now running
around certifying stolen elections for his
socialist pals in South America. The man
is a disgrace.
\_ The world-writeable-motd didn't exist in the 80's. |
