From: Nicholas Clark Date: 17:33 on 16 May 2005 Subject: software that turns flow control back on I want my terminal to have software flow control off. off **OFF** dammit. So that I can use control S for forward search. So all the irritating little things that manage to turn it back on can die die die in /dev/null where they never should have emerged from in the first place. Buggeroff. **NOW** Nicholas Clark
From: Nicholas Clark Date: 12:13 on 11 May 2005 Subject: svn add $ sudo svn --username=nick add ... Subcommand 'add' doesn't accept option '--username arg' Type 'svn help add' for usage. All the rest do. An error message of "yah, boo, sucks to be you" would be about as helpful. Die die die. Nichoals Clark
From: Nicholas Clark Date: 11:35 on 04 May 2005 Subject: bash nick@switch .$ pwd pwd: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory So, yes, the current directory is deleted. But when I attempt to tab-complete on an absolute path: nick@switch .$ cd ~/Psymlink-hook: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory what the fuck? hateful thing. ~ shell-expands to an absolute path. What's with this getcwd crap? You don't need no stiiiinking cwd here. Shut it, and get on with giving me completions on $HOME/P* Nicholas Clark
From: Nicholas Clark Date: 12:07 on 31 Mar 2005 Subject: Novell GroupWise Internet Agent This pile of shite uses a different message ID for each addressee on a message. This defeats my message de-duping, and means I get 2 copies whenever I'm Cc'd on a message sent to a mailing list I'm subscribed to. (2 too many as it happens, but that's a hate about the content of the message and the sender, which isn't software) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh I hope that this braindeath isn't contagious, and that Novell don't fuck up SuSE.

From: Nicholas Clark Date: 18:08 on 18 Nov 2004 Subject: Eudora X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1.1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; format=flowed So what's all this character 128 crap? Buggy deceitful pile of shit. Nicholas Clark
From: Nicholas Clark Date: 15:57 on 04 Nov 2004 Subject: fink Fucking fink. I run fink selfupdate. Firstly the git gives me CVS conflicts. So I figure out where the troublesome files are, wade in with sudo rm, retry and get past that hurdle. Then this one url -f -L -O http://distfiles.dkx.tn.us.finkmirrors.net/base-files-1.9.3.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Curr. Dload Upload Total Current Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0 curl: (22) The requested file was not found ### execution of curl failed, exit code 22 Downloading the file "base-files-1.9.3.tar.gz" failed. (1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your country (4) Retry another mirror (5) Retry using next mirror set "Custom Mirror" How do you want to proceed? [3] We go round this a few times, until I reach the conclusion that base-files-1.9.3 is too fucking new, and none of the mirrors have caught up. (Else it's not new, but all the mirrors I tried are stale, in which case if they would be so kinds as curl up and die and thereby get out of my fucking way) So I eventually [1] (Give up) and just try to install postgresql74. What do I get: curl -f -L -O http://distfiles.sbn.in.us.finkmirrors.net/libpqxx-1.5.1.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Curr. Dload Upload Total Current Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:00 --:--:-- 0 curl: (22) The requested file was not found ### execution of curl failed, exit code 22 Downloading the file "libpqxx-1.5.1.tar.gz" failed. (1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your country (4) Retry another mirror (5) Retry using original source URL How do you want to proceed? [3] What's wrong with the fucking mirrors? Why don't I just blow OS X away and install Debian instead? At least it has a functional packaging system. Nicholas Clark
