I am a COMPUTER PROFESSIONAL

Just out of curiousity, what the fuck is a COMPUTER PROFESSIONAL, Jon?

LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS ARE DUMB.

I make my living doing development work, and I have an engineering degree and a liberal arts degree. What does that make me?

― martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 19:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I program a system for massive remote monitoring of Windows machines.

SMART.

I can build an analog delay pedal or fix a vintage pedal that has stopped working.

COOL.

― martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 19:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Analog is for the birds.

And the VCM stuff you were so interested in appears on what digital effects or synths?

― martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 19:46 (nineteen years ago) link

VCN?

I use a Mac at home. I hate tcsh so I avoid the command line whenever possible. I tried to get a bunch of packages using fink but my gcc compiler links are broken and I can't be bothered to fix them. I have a liberal arts degree, like seriously, my degree says "liberal arts," no "history" or "linguistics" attached at all. I've never bothered to install SoulSeek or BitTorrent clients on my box and I pay for all my software and music.

My name is TOMBOT and I work in the IT security industry making $80,600 a year.

VCN?

Heheh... I am writing something on Voltage Controlled Modulation which is why I typed "VCM." What I meant to say was "CV."

You know, not ALL file sharing is criminal. Also, the default shell changed to bash in Panther. I reccomend changing:

I used to have a crontab on a machine on my school's Solaris/IRIX mailserver that would poll my accounts on other machines and update my .plan there.

.plan writing was a HUGE phenomnenon in my college! there was even a script written to monitor people's .plans for changes.

Sadly, as people moved from pine to webmail, this has faded away

― Holy Crap! Typhoon is Coming!!! :O (ex machina), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

a crontab

This sounds like some alien warrior race with a carapace.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 19:24 (nineteen years ago) link

What is Crontab?
Crontab is a program that allows users to create jobs that will run at a given time.

Also, I had a crontab that scanned my mailspool for PACKAGE RECEIVING notifications and txted me :D

― Holy Crap! Typhoon is Coming!!! :O (ex machina), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 19:27 (nineteen years ago) link

So crontab is pervy, then.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 19:29 (nineteen years ago) link

i still use pine sometimes
