Chirp! Chirp!

Chirp! Chirp!

"Gawd dam!"

Cracks open a Surly (tall beer) and local brand.  Just a long weekend of work last weekend that lead to a longer week of even more work late in to the night.  Need to have another one after this.  Not to much to tell, except, fan vibrations can ruin a raid rebuild in a server.

Probably should cut back some on the sysadmin juice. I am not as young as I used to be, but then again, who is?

Yeah, i'm a helluva lot younger than i used to be ::D !! 

"sysadmin juice"  :P

**Wonders-what-a-sysadmin-tastes-like-with-a-nice-mixed--leaf-salad????**

Or fava beans if you are going that route.  I was referring to more like the following:

ding ding ding!

Heh, you need to write your own text client.  I would do it in Python.

Integer, or original?  Cold Spring beer, or Guinness?

Well, I was floating in something.

Guinness! :P

and C plus Perl (or python i guess(?)) for text client

...how about converting this menu driven system into a client: http://mconv.sourceforge.net/ :) ?

For a look  the Monochrome BBS which it is a clone: " ssh mono@mono.org " especially during the day GMT.

Nice.  I have always liked the more ansi / curses like looks of things that did that.  The mconv code seems to have made extensive use of terminal escape codes in the C code (rather than a library), so it would be hard to do in Python using the ctypes wrapper.  If you wanted to re-use the code in mconv, it would be better if there were libraries for use that held the display logic for the terminal escape code stuff.

It looks cool none the less.  Thanks for sharing it.

The actual Mconv program was written a long time ago by  one of  the regulars on monochrome BBS.  It was tested as a live BBS by about a dozen of the monochrome BBS users at the time - but it seems no-one is much interested in it now.

The actual monocrome BBS (mono) is run by the users, but the actual code (and the mono.org domain) belong to the original author- who seems to have little interest  in the BBS these days. They've been talking about rewriting the whole mono software for years,  although it is well maintained and each section on the actual BBS is also under someone's administration - it's getting old. Some day soon i hope the real work of rewriting the original mono software will get under way, the people to do it are still active members,  oneof the main sticking  points is  what features to add or keep. Also the content that is on there (which  is vast) will never be allowed to be viewed via http even if people do want to open the bbs to the web, many would like to keep it just as it is.

I hope it will get off soon,and get open-sourced.  It's a  cracking little BBS/online community,still very active, and i love the easy menu driven interface, I'm sure it would be a great way  to view and interact with content on a citadel.
