The Nameless Site

after reading about MRTG is kasia’s blog, I had to start figuring out how to use it more and more..

I’ve been messing with it..————–
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/reference.html had all the extra information i needed…

External Monitoring Scripts
If you want to monitor something which does not provide data via snmp you can use some external program to do the data gathering.
The external command must return 4 lines of output:

Line 1: current state of the first variable, normally ‘incoming bytes count’
Line 2: current state of the second variable, normally ‘outgoing bytes count’
Line 3: string (in any human readable format), telling the uptime of the target.
Line 4: string, telling the name of the target.

Target[ezwf]: `/usr/local/bin/df2mrtg /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0`

Note the use of the backticks (`), not apostrophes (‘) around the command.

Wow, busses, specially richmond busses are like, such in a state of disrepair… Some of them have those cords for signaling stops disconnected because they broke off on one end or the other and nobody has tried to fix them yet.. Others have thier seats like splitting and repaired with duct tape….

Wtf is with those window things? they are like nearly impossible to open some days, then another window you barely touch it and it’ll smoothly go open….

I wish I had a picture to post along with it, just to see the mess of richmond busses… I’ll try to remember to grab one on the way home.

Although on the other hand, the people you see on the bus are really.. interesting.. The picture above is like.. a lady got on the bus with a few GIANT bags of something.. then once we got to the skytrain station, got on there tooo….

Review of Multi Theft Auto

YEa, other than the website, i don’t have much to say, it is REALLY fun…

Just Download the client, install, and you are ready to go..

Its still very buggy, we get random crashes, lots of lag, but it would rock for a land party…

Sweet, now anyone who has an account can use my server wherever they go.

I’m now using pop-before-smtp (and imap) so you can log into the imap server, then for the next…. i’m not sure how long,y ou can send email.. I think i’m going to use lucas’s c program, or possibly even write my own… Except i’d have to figure out alot.. so lucas’s sounds better..

Next up… Replacing Apache-perl with regular apache, making my config more optimal and not eat up so much ram.. heck i might even look into using apache2.

And thats it for my server update.

I’ve never had more fun watching tv and anime and such..

On another note, I’ve setup Roaming Profiles finally at home. Since its just me, and there are no other computer working with it yet (trying to dual boot my linux laptop to mess with it). But some day… yeaaaaaaaa :)

Next steps for me are to try and work on the mail server, make it a little cleaner, so i don’t have large ip access lists, lock it down with a user/password or something, and make the webserver alot more stable and less of a memory hog. i’ll probably kill mod_perl todo this, as its really not that big of deal.

And thats my update for now.. I really have to get back into this.

lets tell a story…

there once was a code monkey,
always working hard, doing work for others

then one day, he turned completly evil,
refused todo his work, went after people with plastic knives

so then he had to be taken care of in the most humane way possible.

The End

I have to say, initially I was impressed, Its not really my kind of anime, but it was still good. By the time i got to the second DVD, it was extreamly beh.

The lesbian (yuri) stuff was way overdone. Alot of subtle imagry and stuff, very deep, but DULL.

Devilman lady is about the .. idea of humans being unable to evolve except if they contain the latent ‘beast’ gene. Which turns them into some sort of super human monster.

Okay, i suck at writing reviews, it just is BLEH. The story lines are overdone. Monster comes in, monster gets defeated, story happeneds, repeat. New girl character comes in, gets hots for jun, the female lead, turns into a beast, gets killed, repeat…

It is the first anime i’ve regretted seeing, and especially spending $10 to rent… BAH

Interesting thing society has turned into, piracy, theif, murder, all becomeing so common, people just don’t seem to blink much anymore.

I was at a meeting a few days ago, before it started, people were talking about cracked copies of windows xp, and pirated versions of windows 2000. I’m not saying i’m pure and such, but about 95% of my software is licenced in some form or another, or freeware.. there is i think one peice of software that i have that isn’t owned by me, and thats because i don’t want the newer versions, i love this old version 2 (they are up to version 5 i think now).

Anyways, its really weird, we have people opening talking about, and bragging about the software that they pirated, being like “no worries, i’ll get you a copy tommorow”, thats including teachers in the room (he never said he had any of it, but still).

i donno, just seems odd, i remember when i was in grade 8, and a huge games pirator, and the first with a cd burner, it was all hush hush, now everyones talking about it, and doing it, etc.

And its not just with computer piracy, Movies, TV shows, comic books, all about master thieves, and people really enjoy reading it, heck, pirates are just theves with a cool background.

Its sad really, but i guess that could just be me

For those like myself, who use multiple servers and like to keep their nick name synchronized (IE /nick gali|work will set it to all servers)
alias nick { /scid -a /quote nick $1 }

For those who, again, like myself do multiple servers, and like to connect to them at startup, here’s a quick snippet for auto-connecting on startup.
the -i thing specifies the main and alt nicks
the -j specifies auto join channels

for the most part, I use mIRC’s groups and internal auto-join functionality for channels, but this is nice for servers.

on 1:startup:{ /servers }
alias servers {
.server irc.esper.net -i galimon halkeye -j #cooans_world
.server -m irc.choopa.net -i galimon halkeye -j #ranma
.server -m irc.lazynet.org -i galimon halkeye -j #livejournal
.server -m irc.mircx.com -i galimon halkeye -j #animex
}

My absolute biggest pet peeve as of lately, is the fact that every link seems to open in IE, doesn’t matter what browser is set to default. This hack allows you to specify any browser you want. except it only works on www and :// links (although easily expanded to ftp. and whatever else.. Irc. ones even)

on ^*:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { run C:\applications\MozillaFirebird\MozillaFirebird.exe $remove( $1,’) }
on ^*:hotlink:*www.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*www.*:*: { run C:\applications\MozillaFirebird\MozillaFirebird.exe $remove( $1,’) }

Chris also claims that this works in mIRC 6.01

edit mIRC.ini while its closed
browser=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firebird\MozillaFirebird.exe
in the [files] section

These two tidbits are nice when you get lots of dcc receives. The FILERCVD sets the path whenever you receive files. Its not necessary, but its nice for when you sort files based on file types (like default mIRC does i believe, at least with sound vs non-sound).
Then you just press f3 or anything else you change it to, and it opens the directory.

on *:FILERCVD:*.*:{ .set %lastdir $nofile($filename) }
alias f3 { echo -a 42 Opening Receive Dir 4 | run %lastdir }

And my most complex example. Ever get someone mention your nick or name or whatever, and you can’t find out where it was from? Or at least something like that.
I have my name, and nicks all highlighted through mIRC, and this code records all instance of it. So when i get back from work or school, i can quickly see if i was mentioned (yes, i guess this makes me look vain, but i wrote it long ago when i was doing server admining for channels)
Just setup mIRC to do highlighting any way you want, this handles the rest.

; Notify Window Stuff here
on 1:text:*:#:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight ; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $chan $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }
on 1:text:*:?:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight ; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $nick $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }
on 1:action:*:#:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $chan $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }
on 1:action:*:?:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $nick $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }

thanks alot to Chris for helping me out and giving me some of the tips today.

Yea, its about time that I finally got to this rant, its been bugging me for a Long time now.

I have a great tendency to focus my attention on the female population, not because I’m into hitting on girls, just that the girls seem to have the ability to get me and understand me a lot better than males do. Granted, as of late, there are more and more guys who I hang out with and understand, but still.

Anyways, back to the point at hand, I’ve found, for whatever reason, that a lot of people these days are making their girlfriends or boyfriends their entire life. It almost seems like you are hanging out with the SO instead of them.

Which pretty much turns me right off there from wanting anything more to to-do with them EVER.

Then we have the increasingly popular “I can’t do that ’cause my boyfriend wont’ let me”… Is it really up to them to let you do things? Sure they can find things uncomfortable, sure they should voice their opinion, but in the end, its your choice, even then “My boyfriend isn’t exactly comfortable with me doing that, how about something else?” is better than saying that they won’t let you.

Now that I’ve got repeatedly distracted, I really forgot the entire point of this rant. BUTTT, I do know its really annoying. People should live their lives first, then have a girlfriend/boyfriend, and most importantly, that its their lives, and not to live through someone else.

Now that I’ve said that, I shamefully admit I have, in the past, tried to live my life through other people, in fact sometimes i really enjoyed it, but controlling what you can and can’t do, say, or think, its beyond .. well stupid.. it makes you a vegetable, and vegetables are dull, boring, and annoying to hang out with.

That is all.
