7/13    Soda is back up, and the rest of the servers are slowly being brought
        back.  We're fixing lots of errors on all machines.  We'll keep you
        all posted.  - jvarga
        \_ DikuMUD doesn't work anymore. Can you please restore it, or if
           you can't find it at least install a new version? I'd like to
           start as level 29, one level before immortal. Thanks jvarga!
        \_ Office accounts are going to be dead until I can figure out why the
           *(#)&^*)#$ debian doesn't like netgroups.  Anyone with insight on
           this, please email me/root.  Thanks.  - jvarga
           \_ Looks like I've fixed office accounts on everything but martini.
              Problems to root.  Moving on to the next stupid issues that came
              out of this move... - jvarga (needs a life, and a raise)
        \_ Great work. Thanks.
        \_ Thanks for the time and effort you've put into this.
        \_ Many thanks for seeing this through.
           \_ Come now, all this nicey nice is unbecoming.  Where's the
              obligatory alumni bitchfest?
              \_ Err, I still remember what it was like being a ugrad in cs.
                 I appreciate the work being put in for little reward.  -mice
              \_ Perhaps most of us are used to the trials and tribs of this
                 sort of thing.
        \_ Awesome, thanks.  But when do we get new soda?
           \_ This is the first step to getting new soda online.  But in the
              interim, new soda needs to stop doing things like playing the
              "OS not found" game on boot, and tell me why sshd is dead.

8/30    Is wall just dead? The wallall command dies for me, muttering
        something about /var/wall/ttys not existing.
        \_ its seen a great drop in usage, though it seems mostly functional.

        \_ Couldn't open wall log!: Bad file descriptor
           Could not open wall subscription directory /var/wall/ttys: No such file or directory

11/20   Are there tools that can justify a chunk of plain ASCII text by
        replacing words with words of similar meaning and inserting/removing
        commas into the text?  I received a 40-line plain text mail where
        all the lines are justified on left and right.  Every word and comma
        is followed by only one space, and every period is followed by two
        spaces.  The guy is my kid's karate instructor which I don't think is

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

11/21   Lifehacker's recommending Dreamhost as a personal web hosting service.
        Apart from csua, who do you guys use? --erikred
        \_ What do you want to use it for? Do you need CGI or PHP?  My
           brother worked for Dreamhost and said they are unethical. In
           fact, he sued them. This refers to their treatment of customers
           and employees both. I don't know who  or what "Lifehacker" is,
