Comments:
<0> since they couldn't get stonehenge.com, they got henge.com
<0> but every newbie signing up thought it was "stonehenge.com"
<1> oh dear
<0> so they'd send email to all their friends saying "hey, I'm foo@stonehenge.com"
<2> Is there a way when using <> to read stdin or files from command line to determine the current filename/stdin?
<0> and their friends would write back. to me. :(
<0> $ARGV
<0> it'll be "-" when you're reading stdin
<3> i once owned micromedia domain and used to get all apple's macromedia emails
<2> Ah, I thanks.
<0> also - I get all of stonehengecapital.com's misdirected mail
<0> which is interesting, because they're a venture capital firm
<4> that could prove useful
<1> =P
<0> so I get these huge attachhments with powerpoint and spreadsheets
<0> of companies wanting funding
<5> so you changed the names, and sent them on to VCs yourself?
<0> what's worse, is that for a while, the secretary of the president was handing out hisname@stonehenge.com to anyone who called as "their" address.
<4> or just the account numbers..
<4> heh
<0> I finally had to get through to them to PLEASE REALIZE YOUR DOMAIN NAME
<4> "Please to be sendink the money to following account."
<6> SEND MONEYS TO BORIS.
<0> AND NATASHA
<3> who owns a cool domain name then
<6> STAY AWAY FROM MOOSE AND SCVIRREL
<3> besides our merlyn
<4> does sleepdep.net count?
<5> most of the cabbage ones are taken now
<3> its not so hot
<3> i owned and sold interactonline.co.uk
<4> bah, domain squatters.
<3> screw that
<1> go.co.uk
<0> Oh godo, a new askaninja vidcast.
<3> how can you register a 2 letter top level .uk
<3> its not allowed
<7> awww pants.. using router2cgi script to look at the router traffic...
<0> heh... "killy-oke"
<7> jeeeebus. bloody thing.. it has our line as a 98Mb line.... we're 2Mb
<8> perlmonkey: you mean .uk domains must be three letters or more?
<0> .com domains can't be one letter any more either
<0> those are all reserved.
<0> x.com being grandfathered in
<3> larrywall.com - owned by Tim Wall @ Illinois 60439
<3> rindolf: thats right
<8> perlmonkey: that's also the case in Israel.
<8> perlmonkey: for the co.il domain.
<9> I used to know a Larry Wall in Arizona.. there's a bunch of 'em out there
<3> bt.co.uk and 02.co.uk exists tho
<8> perlmonkey: Israeli domains are expensive, and the registrar requires faxing them for updates.
<9> he was a local bbs sysop, actually
<3> must be special rules for big corporations
<8> perlmonkey: there's also http://www.d.co.il/
<3> rindfolf: what if you dont do faxes
<8> perlmonkey: then I don't think you can.
<3> I want to write a perl program to read emails
<8> perlmonkey: it was too much bother for me so I just registered shlomifish.org at Go-Daddy. (F**k the patriotism)
<3> hehe
<3> Nominet the UK authority is good and flexible, but too much paper
<8> perlmonkey: you can registre .co.uk domains at GoDaddy et all, right?
<3> they also gave away my mms.co.uk domain to a firm of solicitors once and i was very pissed at that
<3> yes
<3> 123-reg is cheaper I think, .57 a year for .uk
<3> I've been able to build a database table in mysql using a perl program, and query it from perl as well
<3> so im feeling very chuffed with myself today
<8> perlmonkey: is "chuffed" content?
<3> means like..feeling pleased with oneself
<3> slightly puffed up ego even :P
<8> perlmonkey: yes, that's what content means as well.
<3> yesterday i was ready to throw the towel in
<3> pers...
<3> whats the word?
<3> you need alot of that to succeed in programming
<8> perlbot: persistence
<9> persistence?
<8> ?
<3> yes
<9> pers....skill?
<3> is persistence a substitute for skill?
<3> maybe it is
<8> perlmonkey: are you British?
<3> any antiques experts online?
<3> yes
<9> I suppose in some circumstances, it could be
<3> are you?
<10> not always, but persistance sometimes leads to experience and development of skill
<3> sometimes i wish it didnt take me so long to do things and i feel if i had the learning and knowledge I could do much more, quicker
<8> perlmonkey: do you remember the video-clip with the people whose skins were dyed to look like animals in the African Savannah, and they fought each othre, and then they went to the river and washed themselves?
<8> Hi Pete_I
<10> perlmonkey, that's true. it's hard to program quickly in a language you don't know.
<3> rindolf: I dont recall that one, was it a comic clip?
<10> hi rindolf
<11> GumbyBRAIN: are you british?
<12> Ok, i'll be doing it wrong. Zap me some semblance of hope for you to the first element of the british.
<8> perlmonkey: it was a videoclip for a pop song. With African-sounding lyrics.
<3> oh
<8> Was a hit a few years ago.
<9> rindolf: are you in israel?
<8> Kulrak: I'm Israeli. (Born and Resident)
<9> ok
<8> Kulrak: where are you from?
<9> I don't remember that being a hit here.. but I live in australia
<3> I'm trying to grow a sugar plant
<9> I'm from the US
<8> Kulrak: I see.
<3> finally some sunshine after 2 weeks of rain solid
<8> Kulrak: well, I just remember seeing it on MTV Europe.
<9> actually, I don't remember it at all
<10> i've had 2 weeks of sun solid. it's horrible.
<8> Pete_I: did the summer vacation start?
<9> australia seems to be half american, half european.. as far as musical tastes
<10> rindolf, yep. graduated a few weeks ago
<3> Pete_I where are you at?
<8> Pete_I: nice.
<10> perlmonkey, northern Mississippi, USA
<3> cool I bet you can grow anything there
<10> perlmonkey, the habitat has many limitations.
<3> is it too dry?
<10> humidity isn't ideal for growing some types of plant(i'm by a lake), and the weeds and insects.
<10> it rains alot here in the fall, flash-flood type. pretty dry in the summer.
<3> its a strange and cruel world, while I'm complaining about excessive rainfall some countries in africa have hardly any and are dying
<3> :(
<13> DCC send your extra rain?
<3> i saved my rain in buckets
<3> some weeks I get like 30cm of rain fall
<10> may sound heartless, but it's the other side of the world. i'm too tired to care.
<9> it just stopped raining here.. after about 6 weeks
<3> phew
<9> at least the cyclone that started it didn't wipe me out.. only wiped out the town north of here
<3> I'm experimenting with plants and need a perl program to manage the results
<9> Pete_I: that's more or less how I feel about the US now.. and I'm from there.. hehe
<8> perlmonkey: with what kind of interface?
<14> i like experimenting with plants :)
<3> just to collate and present the data really
<3> jdog: smelly plants?
<14> well, i used to.. that's actually what got me into botany. all legal now however :)
<14> into horticulture is probably the word im looking for
<3> why do we pay $$$ for medicine chemicals when plants contain natural medicine, plant steroids
<9> I wouldn't mind growing some hops/grains.. since I brew beer.. unfortunately it's pretty hard to get decent strains of hops
<14> perlmoney: because there are not enough folks like us that have a p***ion for the research
<3> :)
<14> most of the play makers don't see immediate profit$
<3> artifical medicines can be churned out quickly, licensed and monopolised I guess
<14> pretty much
<14> and the synthetic approach has its place.. I won't venture too off topic though
<3> theres a plant which is native to south america called the sugar plant
<3> its 300x sweeter that sugar (30x from the raw plant) and has many health benefits and none of the draw backs sugar has, yet the USA and EU wont license it for use in foods
<1> anyone here tried Provigil yet?
<8> Pete_I: are you familiar with the Alt+. bash shortcut?
<3> what is provigil?
