[Pat Murphy's Maze of Twisty Little Passages]


Miscellaneous Passages

*
While many mailing lists have really good list owners, some are not so fortunate. Power can corrupt... As an attempt to circumvent this, I came up with a
Mailing List Owner's Code Of Ethics. Make of it what you will.

*
Do you get annoyed when someone accuses you of something you didn't (and can't) do? Like saying "you sent us this virus, you're a bad person" just because they trust the "From:" line of a virus-laden e-mail? Well, I do. Here's why.

*
30 things people actually said in court. You have to wonder how many were held in contempt (or that brought the proceedings to an uproarious halt!)

*
The Rules of Chocolate. We all know them...

*
The Rules, required reading for any male. Or female, come to think of it... find out who's always right (unless she wants to be wrong).

*
The Emacs versus Vi wars (the "grinch" emacs one is always popular around Christmastime). With thanks to Chuck Musciano... (I saved the vi "song" from back in the old sun-spots digest days; remember them?)

*
GOOD TIMES VIRUS!... not. Wish I knew who came up with this parody; they deserve an award!

*
The State of Education; should we laugh or cry?

*
The nine types of users; Humour only a sysadmin can appreciate. This predates both the BOFH hierarchy, any cabal (TINC) and even alt.sysadmin.recovery!

*
A day in the life of a sysadmin; you think this is a joke???? Again, this predates the BOFH phenomenon.

*
The Valley of the Shadow shows a little of what life was like around these parts (Central Virginia) during the US Civil War (1861-1865).

*
Information about recent Earthquakes.
