Why have a hosted domain?

Posted on February 27, 2006 by cbd

Five reasons:

bash-2.02$ python
bash: python: command not found
bash-2.02$ perl -e 'print $], "\n"'
5.00503
bash-2.02$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 11.12 Distrib 3.23.32, for sun-solaris2.6 (sparc)

    School?

    At least it’s not AIX.

    Speaking of which, one of these days I’ll post about getting Nethack to compile in AIX–far and away my greatest accomplishment in graduate school.

    Oh yeah? Check this shit out:

    node3: /home/etn8m $ mysql –version
    mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.54, for ibm-aix4.3.2.0 (powerpc)

    I can’t even figure out how to use tar on this machine; it doesn’t support flags like -z.

    Yes. School. They do have emacs, even if it’s a few versions back.

    I have often thought your achievement merited the Wrecking Crew Nerd of the Century Award. As I recall you performed said feat from userland.

    I hope you saved a copy of that makefile.

    OK, Erich has reminded me just how much AIX sucks. I remember IBM tar. Not fondly.
