(12:04:51 PM) codon: boo (12:06:22 PM) josh: ... this sucks. Here I thought #spqr was quiet today but its the other way around. irssi just isn't showing anything that anyone is saying. (12:06:43 PM) codon: HELLO, JOSH!!!! (12:06:51 PM) josh: #spqr is write-only for me. (12:11:05 PM) josh left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 258 seconds).

(12:23:04 PM) seti: Hello out there! (12:23:42 PM) bbb: ping (12:23:45 PM) hallta: pong (12:24:01 PM) ***bbb thinks josh's internet is tx only (12:24:01 PM) seti: Huzzah! Just like real SETI, this also works! (12:28:18 PM) seti left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 258 seconds). (12:39:29 PM) ysth: I love helping people with things I know nothing about (01:14:35 PM) daveo: ysth: like directions? "where's the space needle?" "oh, i think it's in tacoma" (01:17:29 PM) seti [josh@c66-235-10-26.sea2.cablespeed.com] entered the room. (01:18:17 PM) daveo: seti: what client _is_ that? might i suggest using a better one? (01:18:36 PM) daveo: oh wait, it is irssi? bizarre (01:19:13 PM) daveo: seems the crazy people-vs-gryphons-ircd span a whole range of clients (01:23:22 PM) seti: \quit (01:23:23 PM) seti left the room (quit: Quit: leaving).

(01:40:24 PM) ysth: daveo: no, "when I do `rsh ...` my perl script and its parent shell die, but only when the perl script is in the background" (01:41:04 PM) daveo: doctor, it hurts when i do this (01:42:24 PM) seti left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 258 seconds). (01:43:00 PM) ysth: the answer was: do rsh -n ... instead (02:00:49 PM) ysth: seti still write-only, apparently (02:02:39 PM) bbb: He's debugging his TCP stack currently. (02:03:24 PM) seti [josh@c66-235-10-26.sea2.cablespeed.com] entered the room. (02:04:28 PM) seti: The last thing of import I see being sent to the server is "238031,6667:USERID:UNIX:josh" where that leading number is an open port on my machine. (02:05:46 PM) ysth: boo! (02:07:37 PM) codon: ysth: is that a jeer or are you trying to scare seti away? (02:08:02 PM) seti: I wonder if gryphon's software somehow sees that command and then forgets how to talk to the client or something. (02:08:14 PM) seti: I'm totally guessing. I've never seen an irc server behave like this. (02:08:33 PM) seti: I also take it on faith that I'm typing to someone. (02:09:17 PM) ysth: codon: I'm trying to scare seti's connection into becoming rw (02:09:49 PM) codon: doesn't that usually involve waving a stick at one or more servers? (02:10:21 PM) seti: :-D The aliens *can* hear me. (02:10:35 PM) seti: All they needed was some out of band channel. (02:10:49 PM) codon: but running SETI@work is against company policy...
