How many Unix hacks does it take to change a light bulb?
Let's see, can you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?


G'mornin' all. Quiet day today. This is my last day of work in my first year here at DMDC. I've learned a lot, and accomplished quite a bit as well. I've begun to make serious sense out of the alphabet soup in this building, though I can't off the top of my head recall what DBIDS stands for, which bugs me, since it's one of the big products outta here.

I'm back to training again, which I can't complain about, since I enjoy it so much. In the next year, I hope to get my LDAP environment (_and_ policy) implemented. Everything else is gravy.

This environment has a lot to offer me still; I don't see me leaving yet.
Good people, good work, more experience cleaning up bad architectures. I'll enjoy. Maybe next time I run into an established, midscale set of servers with no goddamn central authentication, I'll be able to deal with it in, oh, say, three months work.

edit: In other news, FF2 has impressed me so far. A well done collection of opportunities for twinkage. Just came back down Mount Ordeals with Cecil. Mmm, agas.

If you want to piss off unix, create a directory with 324,000 files in it.

Ow. a 9mb directory node, 1.2 gb of files, and it takes something like three minutes to produce a 2.3mb 'ls -la' output of it.

Bad bad bad.
