pseydtonne: Behold the Operator, speaking into a 1930s headset with its large mouthpiece. (Default)
It's been a decade since Calvin & Hobbes left the daily newspapers. So many people have missed it so much that we now have a glut of web comics. Let's face it, though: C&H was one of only a handful of comic strips that assumed newspaper readers had brains (Doonesbury, Shoe before MacNelly died, Far Side and Zippy).

It turns out it only takes a few years for that kind of love for entertainment leads to scamboogery. It turns out someone made a knock-off strip and had been passing it off as the last strip. It took the goatsex guy to clear that up.

This goes to punctuate how odd the Internet can be.

Guess what has greeted me the yesterday and today when I tried to open a shell session with my old ISP?

Server refused to allocate pty
Warning: no access to tty (Bad file number).

Thus no job control in this shell.



Oh yeah -- no carriage return control, either! That's what it looked like... and the rest of the screen wrapped around like a belt down a pole. So if I miss your email, this is why. pseydtonne at gmail works, though. Go check out some valuable sacrilege and g'night.
