In other words you know NOTHING about Unix.

[TerminalAddict]

apache, mysql, postgres, bind, dhcpcd (or alts), iptables, opensrs/nzrs integration, load balancing (on an application level, and tcp/ip), bash scripting, php, openssl, debian, gentoo, mandriva, OSX, AIX (altho' that's going back a year or 3 :shifty: )

ah fuck who cares .. just someone offer me a job

[James Deuce]

Not until you tell me where the Divi Foothills are.

Sadly stalwart 'make love' no longer works with modern GNU makes.

Yeah - face it - anything involving Microsoft tends be worthy of a laugh...

here - let's have a go...
Databases *pfft*
Reliability *hahahaha*...
PERFORMANCE *HAHAHAHA*

and now I have the crowd warmed up

SE-CUR-ITY PWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[limbimtimwim]

Yeah - face it - anything involving Microsoft tends be worthy of a laugh...Unix geeks are the ones who stay away from Microsoft...?

Or are you saying we joke about the MS fools all the time?

When I changed employers, I was annoyed that I had to use Windows on my desktop (Like.. Fuck..) and thought I would find the experience frustrating and quite shitty.

Anyway, now that I have been here for a few months, I can happily confirm that using Windows on my desktop is very fucking frustrating and very fucking shitty.

[jrandom]

Pfft.

A long time ago, I decided that I would go insane if I had to earn a living dealing with buggy software written by someone else.

Now I write buggy software for other people to go insane dealing with, and am fulfilled.

Come. Join the dark side!

Muahahahaha.

Oh yeah. Operating systems are for pussies (http://jargon.net/jargonfile/t/TheStoryofMel.html).

[xwhatsit]

I know what he's talking about, I use it every day...

d20 means delete twenty lines. :wq means save changes and quit.

He's talking about vi, God's Own text editor...

[James Deuce]

I am not talking about vi.

TA may actually be geeky enough to know something about UNIX even though he has a sense of humour.

[jrandom]

vi

Real men use ed.

if you're a gentoo geek, try
emerge moo

thanks for the PM btw ;)

[jrandom]

Give Duncan & Ryan (http://www.duncanryan.co.nz/) a call. I've only ever dealt with them from the employer's side, but my experience with them has been universally positive. They're not a bunch of money-grubbing CV-spamming cunts like most recruitment agencies.

[TerminalAddict]

Real men use ed.

fag !!! :nya:

errr..not that kind ed right? ;)

I'm a vi fan myself .. therefore the quote of the day shall be:

emacs is a great operating system, if only it had a decent text editor

[PuppetMaster]

Bet you don't even know what a d20 is.


NERDS!!!

D20 is a rapper....isnt he ?
:)

[James Deuce]

You're thinking of Eminem's band D12. Which is named after a Bulldozer.

Mmm purple pills.

[limbimtimwim]

if you're a gentoo geek, try
emerge mooI used to be. Sorta a Debian/Gentoo person now. Sadly this employer is a SuSE shop (Worst. Linux. Ever).

# apt-get install sl
$ sl

tehehehe

$sl

:)

[Squeak the Rat]

Scary place!

This thread is about as foreign to me as a hobbit or the demon spawn of an orc.

ha ! never seen that before .. .bling!

[limbimtimwim]

ha ! never seen that before .. .bling!Good on boxes lots of people ssh into. People are forever typing 'sl' when they want 'ls'.

[xwhatsit]

Hahah! I too didn't know sl existed. Shame on my n00bness. Try it with the `-a' option...

@Jim2... I got ya now :P. Fucking nerd :D. At uni they've got an entire club, they play between lectures. You can smell the BO for miles around...

[jrandom]

an entire club, they play between lectures...

Oh. That sort of d20.

The penny (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/08/24) just dropped.

I had this character, Dwarf Warrior I think, back in Form 2, his career mainly progressed during lunchbreaks in a corner of the school library. He ended up with a Vorpal Blade. Awesome stuff. Love those 20s.

In other words you know NOTHING about Unix.

Oh my god. I can (vaguely) sysadmin AND I know what a d20 is. Not that I've ever used one.

It's all been to no avail - I'm still a nerd.

[TerminalAddict]

*bump*

time to start looking again .. :cry:

*unhappy in his current job*

[jrandom]

*unhappy in his current job*

Why, what's wrong with it?

[TerminalAddict]

same shit .. different day .. need a change/challenge etc

[Grub]

ah fuck who cares .. just someone offer me a job

Might have been able to do that if you hadn't been so cute with your location. I needed someone in Welly and found them. Too late now dude.

[TerminalAddict]

fairy muff then ...

the divi would be the legendary twisty road between Hamilton and Raglan :yes:

[scracha]

same shit .. different day .. need a change/challenge etc

Mwhahaha. I tried that. I even went to the other side of the world. You can never escape the clutches of coding.

[TerminalAddict]

wish I was coding :|

was hired as a sys admin, but in reality I am a glorified receptionist ... meaning I thought I would be devloping the business technically, but I'm actually in a support role that I don't enjoy much.

Had I known this would be a support role, I might not have taken the position.

oh well ...

[jrandom]

wish I was coding :|

So just hammer the tech employment agencies and the big corporates (try the test engineering team at RAKON) with your CV. You'll have the job you want within a few months, unless you're a complete twat who doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

Are you a complete twat who doesn't know his arse from his elbow?

[boomer]

(glorified receptionist)that cracks me up, how the hell do you not know what your getting yourself into? do you not ask questions at the interview?

i had some **** from Ireland try that shit on me after he'd been in the job 2 months, after i paid for relocation, an apartment and helped with his Visa...... more like he was home sick, job was too hard and he didn't have the balls to front up.

btw, i'm still on the dole ;)

[TerminalAddict]

long story .. but it goes something like this:

al the support team went nuts, either got hospitalised, or walked out in a tantrum, leaving me as the only person who knows his arse from his elbow

Fish: yeah I've started talks ;) .. just trying to avoid going to dorkland at this stage ..
