        P.S. The office has actually been in 337 Soda, not 343 Soda, for the

8/18    Hey dim why did you switch your motd edit command? Do you actually
        think you can hide from editting motd? I can read OS logs ya know.

12/21   I was laid off and started filing for EDD for my weekly pay.
        I just got a job. Is there a form I need to file, or do I just
        stop filing out EDD to get my weekly pay? As a side note, how

        \_ You just stop filing and they stop paying; you don't need to do
           anything else.  I don't know the internals of how they do things,

I cannot ssh in anymore from work

        When I need to send some videos to my parents, I upload them to
        my SpiderOak account, but they don't have anything like that,

4/04    Is there a good way to diff 2 files that consist of columns of
        floating point numbers, such that it only tells me if there's a

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.

7/2     When I do "ssh name@machine command", that does not show up
        on the last log. Where is that action logged?
        \_ Depends on accounting level. Might not be logged at all.
