The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Remember: a rice steamer can double as a humidifier if needs be.

heh heh...

Every spam is sacred.
Every spam is great.
If a spam is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Netware was fun. My intro to network admin was on a Novell system. But it was a love-hate thing, just like running a MS shop today.

NT 3.51 Server, and then NT 4.0 blew them out of the water on an ease-of-admin point of view. But the NT directory always blew chow compared to Netware.

One of the truths of life does remain: Novell's NDS as a directory service really was well ahead of its time. Windows Active Directory (and they'll even admit it after a couple of beers) is a total ripoff of NDS.

At least they mainly got it right. :-)

Hey stranger! :-D

Sorry I didn't just jump into the middle of the computer-talk earlier, but I'm so clueless I can't have an opinion.

Mmmmm... Alienware.

Hey... I'm clueless and yet I still manage to have an opinion. :-)

Opinions are like that.

heheheh..

Well yes, I guess you're right. But I thought it was considered bad form to give an opinion on a subject I admittedly know nothing about.

Active Directory and I sort of have a love-hate thing going... sometimes we discover the oddest things. Like the way the SSNs of all the users were sort of being stored in Active Directory. And not too securely. We had a fun afternoon writing Perl scripts to clean that one up, but it wasn't AD's fault, it was a certain person who set up the system in the first place.

Do YOU have a humidifier? Remember to drink lots of water, too. A Hot Toddy wouldn't be amiss, either. ;o)

Yah... I played around for a few minutes with his Alienware laptop. OK... "portable" or "luggable" would be more accurate than "laptop". It's a laptop only for people that can bench-press more than the average.

The thing had a huge display and it was lightspeed fast. The video was of course gorgeous, and you gotta love the surround-sound for movies... but damn... that thing had to weigh something like ten or twelve pounds. Easy.

The thing was huge. About the size of a legal pad, only about two and a half inches thick. Just damn...

No, that's called "Management". I present myself as evidence. :-)

You forget that I've actually seen you in person.

You do not have pointy hair. ;-)
