And they all fade into nothing compared to the rare and rabid FreeBSD geeks. Being the lone Linux user at UnixUnaminous -- Toronto's beyond-geeky Unix user group cabal -- is scary. It's the only place I've been called a "fucking idiot" because I tend to use Linux/MySQL/Perl, as opposed to FreeBSD/PostgreSQL/Python. Two good things about BSD users: * they're so rare and reclusive, you're rarely likely to ever meet one in the wild. * they spend so much time infighting amongst the various BSD flavours (and most importantly, against "FeeBSD", aka Mac OS X) that they're seldom able to muster a united front against anything.

Someone (Steve Schiavo?) mentioned to both lists recently that the compiled XTC tribute CD _King for a Day_, chockfull of MP3s, was available. However, following the links posted, and using the PayPal address listed, I'm getting no response: PayPal has followed up with a notice that my funds are going unclaimed. So: does anyone know who's handling the orders for this project, and if s/he has another e-mail address that's actually monitored on a regular basis? Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the lack of content by saying that I know nothing about obscure computing platforms and have nothing more to say about eMusic. ..Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: Californians invented the concept of the life-style. :: This alone warrants their doom. :: --Don DeLillo, _White Noise_ np: a bunch of noisy McLusky mp3s ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2003 18:22:06 -0500 From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: Re: XTC tribute???

D'oh!! It's the old "one" vs. "L" problem. All in favor of revising the shape of lower-case "L" say "aye"... Or putting a slash through the numeral - either way, I don't care. ..Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: When the only tool you have is an interociter, :: you tend to treat everything as if it were :: a fourth-order nanodimensional sub-quantum :: temporo-spatial anomaly. :: --Crow T.
