needle (Jord Leynier):
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
with the man in the wind and the west moon;
when their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
they shall have stars at elbow and foot;
though they go mad they shall be sane,
though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
though lovers be lost love shall not;
and death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
they lying long shall not die windily;
twisting on racks when sinews give way,
strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
faith in their hands shall snap in two,
and the unicorn evils runs them through;
split all ends up they shan't crack;
and death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
or waves break loud on the seashores;
where blew a flower may a flower no more
lift its head to the blows of the rain;
though they be mad and dead as nails,
heads of the characters hammer through the daisies;
break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
and death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas

Cramming paperwork, setting up umpteen servers and other
machines, scrapping as many 750's as possible, fixing everything I
own that's broken, finishing two books, all before Monday.

GATEWAY TO NET TEN -- Mark Lottor
[Original words and music by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant]
There's a hacker who's sure all that's coax is fast
and he's buying a gateway to net ten.
When he gets it he'll know if the ports are all closed
with a SYN he can get what he sent for.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
and he's buying a gateway to net ten.
There's an RFC on the wall but he wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a note on the page there's a warning that says
sometimes all of our code is broken.
Don't ya know, it makes me wonder.
There's an error I get when I send to the net
and my packets are lost and retransmitting.
In my logs I have seen loops of mail thru the machine,
and the screams of those who are hacking.
Oooh, it makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon if we all fix and tune
then the packets will reach their destinations.
And a new day will dawn for hosts that stay long
and the telnets will echo quite faster.
Ohhhhh, it makes me wonder.
If there's a bustle in your cisco, don't be alarmed now
it's just a quick ping for the NIC machine.
Yes there are two paths you can route by, but in the long haul
there's still time to change the protocol.
Yowwww, it makes me wonder.
Your host is loaded and it will slow in case you don't know,
the unix's are asking you to join them.
Dear hacker, do you see the overflow, and did you know
your gateway is still under development.
And as we wind out more coax, and gateways slower than our hosts,
There goes a message we all know, it updates routes and wants to show
how everything still turns quite slow.
And if you listen very hard, the bits will come to you at last.
When all are ones and ones are all, to be a rubout and not a null.
And he's buying a gateway to net ten...
