<macka> simple question... I'd like to count the amount of files in a directory. Normally I pipe an ls to wc and get it that way, but that can't be used in all circumstances:
<macka> admin@web2:/home/ecom/tmp> ls auth* | wc
<macka> -bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
<Mathman> argh. these people are killing me.
<Mathman> this one chick keeps telling me her email is beverlym and not beverly. and why did I change it from beverlym to beverly
<Mathman> I set up the damn account!
<Mathman> it was always beverly. nothing has changed. god damn

13:46 <Systat> ok lets talk abotu this then
13:46 <Systat> Why do yuo IRC through a BNC every time
13:46 <ThomasY> Fine
13:46 <Systat> Why do you say your on a cell phone
13:46 <Systat> yet never disconnect
13:47 <ThomasY> Because I IRC from multiple locations
13:47 <ThomasY> From work, from home, from my cell
13:47 <Systat> so
13:47 <ThomasY> So?
13:47 <Systat> your name would still disconnect
13:47 <ThomasY> No I wouldn't
13:47 <Systat> when you change from one device to another
13:47 <ThomasY> My shell runs irssi + screen
13:47 <Systat> Which type BNC do you run
13:47 <ThomasY> I SSH in and screen in
13:47 <ThomasY> It's not a BNc
13:47 <Systat> so you SSH into your shell
13:47 <ThomasY> Yes
13:47 <Systat> from a Cell phone
13:47 <Systat> LMFAO
13:47 <ThomasY> Yup
13:47 <Systat> fucking idiot
13:48 <ThomasY> Want me to SSH to a server of your choosing from it?
13:48 <ThomasY> I have a Treo Palm 700p
13:48 <ThomasY> Running pssh as an SSH client
13:48 <Systat> wait a sec
13:48 <Systat> your not using a cell phone then
13:48 <Systat> its a PDA
13:48 <ThomasY> It's a smart phone
13:48 <ThomasY> It is a phone + a PDA
13:48 <Systat> because beth was under the impression you were using a blackberry
13:48 <Systat> because thats what you told her
13:48 <ThomasY> It's not a blackberry
13:48 <ThomasY> It's a palm
13:48 <ThomasY> I may have said it was LIKE a blackberry
13:49 <ThomasY> I will show you on CAM the device if you wish
13:49 <Systat> no
13:49 <Systat> the last thing I want to do is see your ugly ass on cam
13:49 <ThomasY> It's sitting right here
13:49 <Systat> So
13:49 <Systat> explain to me
13:49 <Systat> How your shit never disconnects
13:49 <Systat> when you change from device to device
13:49 <Systat> I only know one way
13:49 <ThomasY> Because I am using IRSSI + SCREEN
13:49 <ThomasY> Are you familiar with screen?
13:49 <Systat> yes
13:49 <Systat> and when you kill your ssh client
13:50 <ThomasY> I SSH in and bind to the screen session
13:50 <Systat> it kills the pid
13:50 <ThomasY> I don't kill the client
13:50 <Systat> so the process dies
13:50 <ThomasY> The client stays running
13:50 <Systat> hence your client is killed
13:50 <Systat> No
13:50 <ThomasY> I merely desconnect scree nsessions
13:50 <Systat> I am a certified Linux Admin
13:50 <Systat> I know how it works
13:50 <ThomasY> Do you want me to white paper it for you?
13:50 <Systat> if you are in a server through SSH on IRC
13:50 <ThomasY> I will
13:50 <Systat> and you disconnect your SSH session
13:50 <Systat> Your IRC client Dies
13:50 <ThomasY> I'll white paper it
13:50 <Systat> because its not a background process
13:50 <ThomasY> It is with screen
13:50 <Systat> your not making sense
13:51 <ThomasY> Yes, I am..I'll draw it for you
13:51 <Systat> no thanks
13:51 <Systat> goodbye
