SNORT! Funny!

Hey, maybe I can try that on my mom-in-law at the family barbeque
this weekend. *****, I could try it on the whole clan - almost every
single one of them wears one of those puppies.

<ponder>

Naw, probably not a good idea ;)

LOLLERZ BLADEZ!!! I love interwebcomics too!

I don't get it.

Fred Littleprick there is trying (and failing) to humiliate me. I
guess that comic struck a nerve, eh?

Whoever drew that last one only managed to humiliate themselves...

Make me!

After consideration, let's not go there, okay? :-)

Chicken!

Bwaaak bak bak!

And now for something completely different...

I know you're into the devil's *nix instead of the One True Path of
Torvalds but you wouldn't happen to know where I'd find information on
how much traffic has passed through an ethernet connection?

My Linux is a little rusty (get this, I'm hacking inside MacOSX/Darwin
these days!), but you could look at "netstat -i" for interface statistics;
I think it also has a way to display octets transferred as well as
packets. I'm pretty sure there's something in /proc, too, since
everything _else_ is there, but I can't recall offhand where it might
live. You might also want to look into ipfilter/netfilter to do more
active tracking and filtering. No reason to send noise over the interface
when traffic is being metered.

In fact the problem has almost certainly been solved by someone else, so
the only problem is finding that solution.

As in, the area I'm moving to doesn't have DSL, cable, and may be still
amazed at indoor plumbing so I'm looking at Wildblue Satellite. Only
problem being they enforce a quota. I'm going to have to pay attention
to how much I'm using the connection so I don't hit the limit.

I don't know if I could live like that. I mean, that's, like,
uncivilized. Primitive even.

Of course my Mom still uses a 28.8 modem. You may recall how far out in
the woods she lives.

And I'm being lazy today so I haven't tried slogging through the code. I
*hate reading other people's C. Makes my eyes cross.

And angry eyes are a terrible thing to see. With.

Just wondering if you know something off the top of your head. This week
is "take all the boxes crowding the living room to the storage" week.
About the only room in this house that has *anything in it now is the
living room. Me and the dogs are surrounded. Just have this little
corner to cower in as the boxes close in on us...

Man, better you than me. If I _never_ have to move again it'll be too
soon, and unfortunately it's guaranteed, since we rent. :-( I warned Yan,
though, after she insisted on us moving ourselves last time, that _next_
time I was going to hire movers.
