Every once in a while..
Somehow when the ones you love pay you a compliment, you shy away and self-depreciate. But when you are not involved in the conversation at all, and someone says something nice about you to a common friend who then mentions it to you, you believe it. Since this just occured to me right at this moment, I created the "Ego Boosts" category. I hope I use it more than once.
And today's ego boost is *drum roll*
re: me.
(10:21:32) f r i e n d o f d y g: that chick totally rocks
(10:22:49) f r i e n d o f d y g: seriously, before her i have never met a chick that could handle unix that didn't look like a mutant.
If you are curious as to what inpsired this compliment, the AIM convo is below. Beware, geek heavy.
(09:39:54) dugup: how goes?
(09:52:00) me: good. me and nagios are having our weekly meeting.
(09:57:32) dugup: lol
(10:06:43) me: it tells me its grievances, and i try to explain that it worked just fine before.. and we come to an understanding that just because it's the same version as it's brother, it needs individual attention. and then I make changes, and we meet in the middle.
(10:07:59) dugup: lol
(10:08:09) dugup: it would receive no such mercy from me
(10:09:20) me: i accept this as a fact of life. I appreciate the fact that it communicates with me, as opposed to other software, which stubbornly holds information in places where I cannot access it.
(10:10:12) dugup: fair enough
(10:10:24) dugup: i don't like software that talks back, though
(10:11:21) me: but then we have to make it talk, and that just get messy. Echo's everywhere, strace stacks, recompiles sometimes - it's madness.
(10:11:34) dugup: true
(10:11:39) dugup: it could just log
(10:11:45) dugup: give me the option to make it verbose
(10:11:48) me: and then you find out that some dumb-fuck redirected stdout and stderr to /dev/null in the start script.
(10:11:48) dugup: and shut up the rest of the time
(10:11:57) dugup: lol
(10:12:23) me: yea, keep laughing - i'm here till the end of August :)
(10:13:09) dugup: beat it with a stick
(10:13:13) me: glol.
(10:13:18) me: when all else fails.
(10:13:21) dugup: *nod*
(10:13:28) dugup: cartman's approaches have proven to be true on all accounts
(10:13:56) me: ahh, yes.
RESPECT_MY_AUTHORITY was set to no in rc.conf.
