| Small hiccup in poster |
| 2004-07-03 |
| Hey folks, if you had something in the bullpen this evening waiting to be posted, they kinda disappeared. I couldn't find them, it wasn't there, we(?) had a script(?) error(?) for a short(?) while, but it's fixed. Please re-post, and one of the associate editors will take a look. Dunno what happened. As always, check the previous day first to make sure your post isn't a duplicate. Edit for length, cut all the crap in the middle, and condense where you can. Pick the right page (1 or 2), the right subject, and don't over-format -- I hate picking bolds outta my teeth at 1 am. I'll delete this post in the am sometime. T'anks as always, |

| #13 I can't believe that RB was closed on the Fourth 2 years ago.... seems like only 2 years ago. Still.... if it's not a municipal secret... how much does the bandwidth run? |

| #11 We all have a lot to be thankful for on this 4th of July, and right up there in the top ten is freedom of speech. Hats off to you, Fred, for such a great forum! Check your cookie jar, Fred, for a refill. Now if the fog up here in the mountains would just go away, I can see what a great place I live in.... |

| #9 when you cut the meat to leave the fat, that's mendacious. Agenda first! |

| #8 ... condense where you can ... ... and get ready for Robert Crawford's accusations that the condensations are "mendacious" . |

| #7 Fred, I just want to say thanks for all the midnight engineering that keeps this place running. Best wishes for a great holiday weekend for you and yours. Don't forget to fire up the BBQ and crack open a few cold ones. Same goes for the associate editors. |

| #6 Well I, for one, am truly disgusted. I wrote this incredible piece which included infallible plans for instantaneous World Peace and solving World Hunger. I even tossed in solutions that would make everyone happy in Palestine, Sudan, India-Pakistan, N. Ireland, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. It was kumbayaa-city, I tell ya. Wiped out. Dropped in the digital bit bucket just like a mee too post. I'm crushed. I'm exhausted. I just can't bring myself to write it again. Worn out. I can't believe this. I think I'll eat Drano. |

| #4 No probs, Fred, but you lost me starting with the word "cloning" :-) |

| #3 Too late to convert now, with three years of links pointing to ASP pages. |

| #2 Fred, *BSD/Linux has an immutable directive for files/directories so that even if you, as root make an error, such as a script that deletes files, you will not lose any files. I lost a whole bunch of server maintenance scripts one time, but having the scripts directory set to immutable could have prevent their deletion. Lessons learned and sure run deep... |

| #1 Sorry about that. I'm cloning the server and when I reset the directory permissions I deleted everybody but me... Kinda lonely there for awhile. |
