darkvoyager.com will be offline today between 1230-1330 for patching. Thank you.



My Solaris 9 box now has the DST patch on it. Yes, I could have simply installed the individual patch, but decided to take this opportunity to bring it down into single-user mode and run the 9_Recommended patchset against it.

Oddly enough, I found that I didn't have the showrev command installed. Because I built a tight little box using the "Core" install (which misses a lot of little items), I keep an online repository of Sun packages for just this purpose. Its one of the smartest things I've ever done.

Sorry, I did not mean to spoil BSG for you.

I did not think any one else but Eric would read this incredibly BORING post anyway.

You are so right on that one. I actually had that same thought.

ehowton has his 140 reply threads and his 25 reply threads. This is more like the latter. Hell if not for you and I maybe even less. :-)

My highest count is 167 thank you very much. And there are many, many posts (mostly from 2005) which have no comments whatsoever. I'm not a comment-whore, I just enjoy good conversation and user interaction.
Date/Time: 2007-03-06 02:54 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] photogoot.livejournal.com
Well you certainly achieve both good conversation and user interaction, you comment whore. ;-)

Your the best and you don't even know why.

Hey, WTF! The LJ Cut did not work... I tested it in a normal post. Do LJ cuts not work in the comments to main posts????
Date/Time: 2007-03-05 23:17 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com
Correct. Sorry dude.

I am sorry to have openly displayed the gruesome truth about the big E-Bunny.

I hope have not offended anyone.

I guess I learned the hard way about LJ cuts not working below main posts.

My only hope now is that we all learned something here today.

Have you ever wondered where the celebration of the Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Christ acquired its unusual name and odd symbols of colored eggs and rabbits?

The answer lies in the ingenious way that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices. After discovering that people were more reluctant to give up their holidays and festivals than their gods, they simply incorporated Pagan practices into Christian festivals. As recounted by the Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer, clever clerics copied Pagan practices and by doing so, made Christianity more palatable to pagan folk reluctant to give up their festivals for somber Christian practices.

In second century Europe, the predominate spring festival was a raucous Saxon fertility celebration in honor of the Saxon Goddess Eastre (Ostara), whose sacred animal was a hare.

The colored eggs associated with the bunny are of another, even more ancient origin. The eggs associated with this and other Vernal festivals have been symbols of rebirth and fertility for so long the precise roots of the tradition are unknown, and may date to the beginning of human civilization. Ancient Romans and Greeks used eggs as symbols of fertility, rebirth, and abundance- eggs were solar symbols, and figured in the festivals of numerous resurrected gods.

Pagan fertility festivals at the time of the Spring equinox were common- it was believed that at this time, when day and night were of equal length, male and female energies were also in balance. The hare is often associated with moon goddesses; the egg and the hare together represent the god and the goddess, respectively.

Moving forward fifteen hundred years, we find ourselves in Germany, where children await the arrival of Oschter Haws, a rabbit who will lay colored eggs in nests to the delight of children who discover them Easter morning. It was this German tradition that popularized the 'Easter bunny' in America, when introduced into the American cultural fabric by German settlers in Pennsylvania.

Many modern practitioners of Neo-pagan and earth-based religions have embraced these symbols as part of their religious practice, identifying with the life-affirming aspects of the spring holiday. (The Neopagan holiday of Ostara is descended from the Saxon festival.) Ironically, some Christian groups have used the presence of these symbols to denounce the celebration of the Easter holiday, and many churches have recently abandoned the Pagan moniker with more Christian oriented titles like 'Resurrection Sunday.'

Fool, they are going to bring her back. she's not dead but captured by the Cylons.
Date/Time: 2007-03-06 17:55 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] galinda822.livejournal.com
I disagree with...sorry! She is a Cylon - one of the last five! I think her mother had something to do with the Cylon race and this is why she told Starbuck her whole life that she was special. Then there's the whole destiny thing.

Oh, well based on what you said.....I disagree completely!!!!!

I think you're right - she didn't really explode; they beamed her up right before the ship blew, Star Trek boy!

Well we'll just have to wait and see Voyager boy!!!!


And I NEVER said they beamed her up.

Gee, I do believe I told you she wasn't dead!!!

They must have beamed her up, Voyager Boy!!!
Date/Time: 2008-04-07 04:26 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] celtmanx.livejournal.com
Apparently they did!!!
Date/Time: 2007-03-06 20:45 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] galinda822.livejournal.com
Why do you think the Cyclon's would kidnap her and not just kill her then? She's not Adama or the President, it's not like they could hold her for some kind of ransom.

Please explain! Thanks!

Hey HOSER, normal people and I use that term loosely with you, watch BSG when it is originally aired.

What I don't understand it why patching your box precluded you from being logged in to AIM.

Ass.


Date/Time: 2007-03-05 19:46 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com
I have AIM on my UX280P by my bed.
I have Adium on teh max0r.
I'm running GAIM on my X1 laptop by the sofa.
I run Kopete on my kubuntu box.
I do not run an instant messenger client on my Sun server.

I was signed out of them all.

What I don't understand is why me being logged out of AIM precluded you from calling my cell phone.

Ass.

I don't know why the other boxen would have been shut down. I mean, patching the sun box is like ./install_cluster and wait for an hour

anyway, it was late and I didn't want to wake you midnight
Date/Time: 2007-03-05 21:48 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com
I didn't shut down anything. I was simply logged out of AIM on all the boxes. The DST patch is a completely separate matter (though I did bring the box to single-user mode prior to installing the cluster). One doesn't have anything to do with the other.

Thank you for your consideration concerning the midnight call.
