I've started on our Cozumel 2004 trip (I have a little over 1000
pictures to sort through, this has taken me a bit longer than I
expected). Also check out "proud to be an Aggie".

On http://www.pyron.org/cozumel2004.html, is there supposed to be more there
than just the link to the toadfish? If so, then it's not exactly FireFox
friendly...

I like the "proud to be an Aggie" picture, but it's fake. I prefer this one
(http://tinyurl.com/n7ndq) and it's not fake.

Just the one, right now. Like I said, a picture's worth a thousand
words and I have a million words to sort through.

Ooops... Fumble fingers strikes again... At least the code I posted

My problem is I want to sort through the crap pictures. I tend to
shoot a lot of film (and Carol shoot a ton of digital) for a few good
pictures. My land camera has a motordrive and when I go to the races
I may shoot up a roll in ten seconds at the start (when "interesting"
things can and do happen).

I am a Unix god. I breath sh and csh and do Perl in my sleep. I've
presented papers at Usenix and LISA. I also have two real unix boxes
under my desk, and HP and a Sun. Both kind of old, but old unix is
still good unix.

I use cygwin on my Windows box. At the very least traceroot and whois
are far superior to anything I can get otherwise.


Ever use cat to boot and build a machine. Somewhat drawn out, but
I've done it in a pinch (sick machine, no media).

Oh well... Can't help you on the filtering part... Figured I could give you
a quick way of putting them up there that you could filter and edit at a
later date... Sorry you couldn't use it... Maybe someone else will have a
use for it one of these days... When I take a lot of photos like that, I'll
put up a quick page with thumbnails or perhaps with just the file names and
links to thumbnails and full images... I try to eventually get around to
editing the generated HTML file and getting rid of the crappier images... At
the very least, it lets Grace have a link to the images that she can pass
around to her friends...

Actually, I'm a UNIX daemon... I fork a child whenever possible and when I
get bored with it, I kill it... Unfortunately, sometimes the child will not
die properly and it becomes a zombie... Sometimes, you need to kill the
parent of the child... Sometimes they just need to go to sleep... Of course,
one cannot touch a child, be it their head or their tail... One can tar a
parent, but for safety's sake, a crypt is necessary...

Haven't ever got around to trying it... For what I need usually while I'm on
a Windoze box, MKS Toolkit is sufficient... If I need more than that, I'm
usually on some type of UNIX box anyway...

Nope, but I've worked on UNIX boxes that didn't even have 'cat', much less
anything else... Embedded UNIX for a particular device aboard certain
aircraft... I've also had my share of installing UNIX from tape and
floppies, booting from either... Earliest UNIX box I probably ever worked on
was a 3B2... Before then, it was IBM mainframes and cards... The 3B2 was
absolute nirvana compared to having to deal with card punches...

That's good. I remember teaching a VMS internals class (I was a VMS
wizard at one point in my life) and being very careful to ennounciate
"fork queue".

I still have a COBOL program card for the 029. And I've IMLed my
share of 360s. I used to know the boot sequence for PDP 8s and DG
Novas by heart. Load the paper tape reader, use paper tape to load
the floppy reader, use the floppy to boot the disk.

Also did that with 8080s and 6800s. I guess we've all done our time
in hell.
