I was skimming through evilrouters today and ran across this. Some of you will find it humorous, if your major didn’t include the word computer you may as well stop reading now though.
"A" is for Arrogance, properly done.
"B" is for Bastard, the New Zealand one.
"C" is for Cynic, jaded and tired;
it's also for Caffeine, which keeps us all wired.
"D" for Delete, we'll do it to you;
"E" for 31337, the skr1pt-k1ddie's due.
"F" is for Format(1M), we use it on disks,
"G" is the middle name of the guy who does RISKS.
"H" for the Hubris that makes lusers luse;
"I"'m the Important one, the person who su(8)'s.
"J" is for Jaded, see "C" above;
"K" is for Kill(1), a command we all love.
"L" is for Luser, the sysadmin's bane,
"M" with a "4" keeps the mail gurus sane.
"N" is for No, whatever the question,
"O" is for Octal, the way of permissions.
"P" is for Password, have you changed yours lately?
"Q" is for Quotas, which simplify greatly.
"R" is for Random, a most useful quality,
"S" I can't tell you, it's against policy.
"T" is for TECO, a very old editor,
"U" is for Unix, which has no competitor.
"V" is the System whose Release 4 we wrestle with,
"W" is for W(1), to see who(1) we nestle with.
"X" is the windowing system from Hell,
"Y" do we use it? The rest suck as well!
"Z" is for Zero, indicating success
It terminates programs -- and alphabets, yes.
I’ve cannibalized my old desktop from senior year of college back together(it had been down since the video card died a year ago or so). I installed windows home server onto this as its gotten good reviews by most all of the dootdoot users, and apparently saved Scott Hanselman’s marriage. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m going to start out pretty basic and probably stay that way. The goal isn’t to be able to do super complicated things, its to be able to make a lab environment for CCNA study. I won’t be getting around to using anything PIX for at least a few weeks so if that is your interest I suggest going to the article I mention at topdog. Most of the people I know use windows, I chose to run dynamips/dynagen from my linux machine simply because its easier for me to remote into that, or was at first anyway. To start off, get dynamips/dynagen installed and the dynamips service running. The best Centos guide I’ve ran across is the following so most of this will be cut from Andrew Colin Kissa ’s howto at http://www.topdog.za.net/centos_5_cisco_lab Initial Setup Linux(Centos 5): Since I used the pre-compiled RPM’s from topdog and it worked perfectly I’d stick with what works.
Today’s theme was “Under My Umbrella” I had the song stuck in my head most of the day to the point that I’m not certain if I was thinking the lyrics or actually singing them in the datacenter. I really don’t have much more to say than that, even as I type this I can’t get it out of my head so off to youtube.
As of last night both of my finals are finished. The last month or so has been 1-4 hours of homework per day minimum, glad that is over with. Now to choose what the spring will bring for a course, it will be a nice break to have only one for a semester. Then one more at this summer and its over.
Side note: I loath rational software modeler. Coursework was more focused on knowing how to use RSM than it was knowing how to design software.
