Likewise, I was going through one of my directories Wednesday,
and I also found this thing which I sorta wrote this summer. This is
dedicated to all those weary Unix hacks who spend their entire waking
lives stuffing /dev/tty??'s clist so that processes have something to
read. :-)
Unix Wizard (Concocted by Jamie Mason to 'Pinball Wizard' by The Who)
-----------
Since I first logged in on Unix
I sure have had a ball,
From SunOS down to Minix
I must have hacked 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any terminal hall...
That tired, squinting and blind kid
Sure makes a mean system call!
He sits like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine,
Feeling all the limits,
Catching signals clean.
Hacks by intuition
The CPU counters fall,
That tired, squinting and blind kid
Sure makes a mean system call!
He a Unix Wizard,
I just can't get the gist
A Unix wizards
Brain's got such a twist
How do you think he does it?
I don't know!
What makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions
Don't hear those fire bells
Don't see no lights a flashin'
Ignores his sense of smell
Patches a running kernel
Dumps no core at all,
That tired, squinting and blind kid
Sure makes a mean system call!
I thought I was
The process table king,
But I just handed
My root password to him.
Even on my favorite box,
His hacks can beat my best.
His Telnet leads him in,
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy Finger servers
Never seen him seg-fault...
That tired, squinting and blind kid
Sure makes a mean system call!

<keown@ukcpsg.vnet.ibm.com>:
In Ulster where I come from there was one observer of life in
the province, John Pepper, who wrote a couple of books on Ulster-ese.
For example: two people meeting. The conversation goes as follows:
1 'Safairday, innit?' (Fine weather we're having, don't you think?)
2 'Naw. Scowl.' (I don't think so. It's cold)
1 'Whassyername?' (obvious)
2 'Bents the name.' (My name's Bennett.)
1 'Yew wunnathem?' (What religious persuasion are you?)
2 'Naw. Wunnafus.' (Same as you.)
....and so the conversation proceeds....

MIKSI AION TULLA ISONA?
-----------------------
Haluan tulla lent{j{ksi, kun olen kasvanut isoksi---koska se on
hauskaa hommaa ja helppoa. Sen takia on nykyisin niin paljon lent{ji{.
Lent{jien ei tarvitse k{yd{ paljon koulua, heid{n on vain opittava
lukemaan numeroita, jotta he osaisivat lukea mittareita. Luulen, ett{
heid{n pit{{ osata lukea my|s karttoja, niin ett{ he l|yt{v{t perille
jos ovat eksyksiss{.
Lent{jien on oltava rohkeita, niin etteiv{t he pel{sty, jos on
sumuista niin ettei voi n{hd{ tai jos siipi tai moottori putoaa pois,
heid{n on pysytt{v{ rauhallisina, jotta he tiet{isiv{t mit{ pit{{
tehd{.
Lent{jill{ pit{{ olla hyv{t silm{t, niin ett{ he n{kev{t pilvien l{pi,
eiv{tk{ he saa pel{t{ salamoita tai ukkosta, koska he ovat l{hemp{n{
niit{ kuin me.
Min{ pid{n my|s siit{ palkasta, jota lent{j{t saavat. He saavat
enemm{n rahaa kuin ehtiv{t kuluttaa. Se johtuu siit{, ett{ useimmat
ihmiset pit{v{t lent{mist{ vaarallisena, paitsi lent{j{t, jotka
tiet{v{t kuinka helppoa se on.
Ei siin{ ole paljon sellaista, mist{ en pit{isi, paitsi se, ett{ tyt|t
pit{v{t lent{jist{ ja kaikki lentoem{nn{t haluaisivat menn{ naimisiin
lent{jienkanssa, niin ett{ heid{n on aina ajettava ne pois jotteiv{t
ne olisi h{iri|ksi. Toivottavasti en tule ilmasairaaksi. Jos tulen
ilmasairaaksi ei minusta voi tulla lent{j{{ ja sitten minun pit{{
menn{ t|ihin.

wchuang (Mithrandir):
...and so the world changes... sometimes torn out from under our
feet, sometimes subtly like the slow change in one summer day to
another on its course to fall, but it changes nonetheless and it
takes us with it.
I regret many things, and I love many things, but a certain one
of each conflict in my heart -- I *must* resolve this before I
am torn apart by the anger and love that storms through my soul
like the fire of a volcano and the ice of some high mountain.
So be it.
