Yesterday, despite the fact that I pretty much know the relevant commands and the necessary options, I made the following script, saved under the filename "radioshow". It is hereby placed into the public domain. Go nuts.
#!/bin/sh
# radioshow, by RjY of anARCHy. All rights given away. Do what you like.
# records and encodes an MP3 for a specified time (uses sox(1), lame(1))
# Makes recording certain radio programmes easier, hence the name
# check command line and set some alias variables for clarity
[ $# -ne 2 ] && { echo "Syntax: $0 <time> <filename>"; exit 1; }
RECTIME=$1 # time to record for, just a parameter to sleep(1)
RECFILE=$2 # name of the file to record to, this should end with ".mp3"
# say what we're doing (if using at(1) this will turn up in your email)
echo "$0: RECORDING FOR ${RECTIME} TO FILE ${RECFILE}"
# start off the recording and encoding processes (might need customising)
sox -t ossdsp -r 48000 -wsc2 /dev/dsp -t raw - \
| lame -rxts48 - ${RECFILE} &
# sleep for the recording time, then kill the background process group
sleep ${RECTIME} ; kill -TERM $!
Actually I should say that your mileage might vary. Why? There's some funny options in there, you know. I still don't know why I have to use -x with lame, but if I don't I just get static. Probably some compile-time option I got wrong, oh well. I wrote about this ages ago.
PS It would seem that you don't have to type & any more when you want an ampersand! & will do, it doesn't break the redesigned HTML validator.
Victory for capitalism!
I sent off a form to Tesco, yes, Tesco(!) and despite ticking heavily the "unemployed" box they still gave me their lowest denominator of credit card! Hey, consumer society, must help the masses to spend spend spend! I reckon they hope I'm some idiot who'll spend all his money - especially this near to Christmas - and then have to pay loads of interest and thus help Mr. Tesco feed his poor starving family.
But little do they realise! I never intend to use it unless absolutely necessary! No, see the idea is sometimes you can't pay for stuff with a switch card (yes Mr. Atherton I'm looking at you, oh and all those credit card age verification free porn services, hehehe, I'll be looking at you too) so you know. It's just something useful to have. If I use it I'll pay the money back within 25 days or whatever and never have to pay interest, and Mr. Tesco's poor starving children will not have their 9p tins of Value Baked Beans tonight.
Also, the card is purple and has a picture of a sunflower on it. How can you refuse?
They've got my number!
I sometimes read Digitiser, Teletext's gaming pages on Channel 4. It's funny but far too short since they rearranged the pages again to accomodate their new "youth lifestyle" section, what's it called, "Mobile Phone Text Message Massive Bling Bling MC Bigup Pass The Weed Bruv AARGH GET THE HELL OFF MY TV FUCKERS!", no wait, "Sauce" or something, sorry I got sidetracked, where was I...
Anyway, so today Digitiser have got some news story about people in South Korea addicted to the internet. Not very new news, I know, we all heard about that guy who died after playing online games for 36 hours straight in an internet cafe a month or two ago. But some research types have published a list of symptoms of internet addiction, and of course Digi put their little spin on it, and this is what was posted.
- The inability to perform normal tasks in everyday life
- The disruption of daily routines by wearing a filth-encrusted hat
- Feeling nervous and anxious when not online, and gluing your face to your PC monitor screen
It's doubly funny because it's true! Filth-encrusted hat, oh man.

Finally, at last today I got around to fitting my shiny new network card into the computer. So far however, I've been unable to determine which direction my computer is moving relative to the ethernet, and have to conclude that there's some weird shrinking thing going on, or the ethernet doesn't exist and the speed of data flow is a universal constant (about three kilobytes per second)
Or it might just be that I haven't got anything to plug into it yet.
Hopeless jokes aside I also made a new kernel etc. to add the drivers, and also all the firewalling stuff. That is, netfilter/iptables, the documentation for which I spent Saturday and this afternoon reading. I love this but I couldn't tell you why for the life of me, especially given that misuse could fuck your system six ways from Sunday.
In the meantime though I have to say there's something so very sad and lonely about a single network card that has nothing to plug into it.
PS Before the upgrade I'd accumulated something which to me is quite impressive. Check this snippet of output from the command 'last reboot':
reboot system boot 2.4.18 Fri Nov 8 18:55 (18+22:42)
Yay, nearly a 19-day uptime! Not much by some standards but it's the longest time I personally have ever left a computer running...
In a surprising move, last night I went back to Warwick University's premiere cheese 'n' meat event, Top Banana. Fucking hell, you know how you have ideas that sound good at the time?... University hasn't changed much. However, it's still completely different. Of course, this contradiction was quickly pointed out, since many of those I know best from there are godawful pedants. So I attempted to explain, badly, how a familiar place can still feel completely hostile and alien if you repopulate it with complete strangers. Anyway, the reason I decided to go this time was that, well, I was invited, I haven't been to campus for well over a year, there was comedy potential etc etc... and most importantly I reasoned that having danced about like a fucking maniac and then walked home as fast as I could in the cold afterwards, I might actually fucking get to sleep for once.
Having arrived we went upstairs and sat in this bar thing that they'd tried to make look like a "real pub" by not painting the bricks on the walls and putting loads of stupid quotes up about how you can never have too much to drink or whatever. I smiled at the reaction to my presence and got my drinks for the evening and sat down on this horrible square thing that was more like a footstool, and sat there trying to hear a damn word anyone was saying and not get too bored, fat chance, heh... Likening chess tactics to football tactics got a laugh though (yes when I got there they were playing chess. I was thinking, was I supposed to bring my slippers and my fucking pipe or something, but because, believe it or not, I was trying not to offend anyone, instead laughed at the fact they had put up dartboards. "What, they let you throw sharp things around now? Fantastic!")
Anyway, if anyone has read this they'll be thinking, yes typical Rob, complaining and bitching about everyone, yadda yadda, so fucking predictable. In fact, the main objective was a complete success... In fact, too successful if anything, I mean, I slept well last night and I got up early like I wanted to and everything but I was so fucking tired all day that I fucking couldn't stop dozing off. Don't sit on your bed reading comics when you're sleepy, people, recipe for disaster.
Heh, cool, I'm still here... I thought my service'd get cut off yesterday since it was a year since I paid for the year of dialup and so on, but no. Anyway, get this: the phone rang and for once I answered it (for some reason I can always tell if it's for me) and it's some guy from NTL!
"Hello is that Mr Young blah blah busy at the moment blah blah so the earliest time we can perform the installation is Monday..."
Fantastic!
"...the ninth of December."
WHAT?!... Oh, well... at least I know they're coming...
Okay, yes, whatever. You have probably guessed by now that I decided to go with it, to take up my mum's offer (see below) and worry about the inevitable guilt trips later. Must get income...
To that end I now have an ethernet card to plug the cable modem into (not installed yet, I was going to do that yesterday but then I decided I couldn't be bothered, I mean I've got ages to do it now) Also I downloaded a bunch of crap, like a few DHCP clients, and some stuff to do firewalling with, for when this old connection dies (but let's hope it won't at least not before I get a new one, heh) Furthermore today I got a bunch of stuff through the mail confirming all this, so it's all good. I think.
PS It seems Simon and/or Peter took up my suggestion for the aaw site archive page and at least partially implemented it; I still think it's pointless having a whole new page just for two or three links, but it's better than one broken link:)
Before I start here's some links: Pete has a new domain name and Amy has her site back up including her .misc archives. I asked if they could be moved to the aaw site but she said no because they're misc archives not aaw ones. aaw is on Google. My suggestion: nuke the almost completely empty aaw archive page and replace it with this link and this link?
The Broadband Dilemma!
I got another complaint that I don't update enough, well, gentle prod, really, you know, no-one actually bitches at me if I don't update, uh, digression, anyway, no-one likes stream of consciousness style writing, it's hard to follow, I'll start again.
Now most of you know about my situation, being a long-term jobless worthless feckless hapless listless {grep '^.*less$' /usr/share/dict/words}less bum (heh but I am teh funnay!) Perhaps you might also remember I've had this stupid evenings-and-weekends-only dialup connection for a whole year too, so, basically, my internet connection is going to expire on Friday.
So I was talking to my mum the other day about this. She turns round to me and she goes "well, since I'll get the phone back, and it'll solve the evenings-only problem and so you might start sleeping properly, I'll get you broadband for Christmas. Of course you'll have to sort it out and set it up because I don't know how to"
So I have this dilemma. I so very very don't deserve this. But I want it anyway... Will the extra guilt finally force me to actually phone up the number in one of these dumb job adverts I see in the paper every so often..? Can I justify this? Should I try? What do you think I should do?
PS I tried to get some opinions on this in #warwick the other day but no one said "you should get it" or "no you shouldn't get it", people just ranted at me about how I should get a job. Yes, how about a nice cup of shut the fuck up, don't you think I know that... So anyway I posted it here instead in the hope that I'll get some "yes" or "no"s because this needs resolving pretty quickly, you know?
Quotage, again
In order to fill up space, and so I can use my script (which, given html2text (deb) can also can be used for newsgroup posts, heh) have some more quotes.
Hilariously bad timing!
Most people have seen this already, I've been copying it around quite a lot, but still.

If you'd like to be added to the list of people who can get ops so you can join in this kind of crap, just ask the next time you're there. Since everyone in #warwick knows each other in real life already then I can't see anyone getting too pissed off. Personally, I will try not to kick anyone who either can't fight back because they haven't been added, or is known to lack enough of the right kind of sense of humour to take it the right way.
Well. I'll try to try...
Read this :)
More than you'd want to know about weapon damages in Doom. I hope I didn't make any stupid errors... but the best (or perhaps, the scariest) part is, I wrote nearly all of it from memory :)
Small amount of progress on my Doom map. All I can say is this: texture aligning can be really annoying...
...
...oh gods damnation. I can't think of anything to update about. I'm on IRC again and my mind is blank for a topic. The worst thing is, I thought of something earlier and I forgot it now, damn this site sucks and it's all my fault... HOWEVER, like I said, I have a script for converting comedy log extracts into a format which is easily pastable into this HTML.
On that note here is the infamous "telepathy" incident from a few days ago. I have to post it now because my IRC log rotator will delete the file tomorrow :)

<MatthewH> Thank heavens for that.
<MatthewH> Living just on the other side would be pretty hellish.
<BabyDave> Just so you're all aware, a (slightly edited) version of all that
crap is about to be submitted to bash.org
Hmm...? Is this... Is this thing on? Can anyone hear me? Hello?
Okay it's apology for retarded programming time. The clocks going back a couple of weekends ago broke my update scripts. Whoops. Complete lack of foresight on my part. UMMGH
Must admit that I knew this was going to happen a long time ago, but I thought I'd have had that makefile-based system mentioned a couple of months ago operational by now. As that's really, really, not going to happen, on account of it being an unworkable pile of crap, other measures had to be sought. Hence I dithered for a long time, then yesterday, used a small modification to the code I'd written to work out the epoch times and translate the site to the format for the makefile system. Today I proceeded to rewrite the original update script to use epoch times, like it should have done in the first place.
So yeah. Hello. Welcome back. Nothing much else has changed. You're not getting to see the new script.
Are you still here?
So what's happened recently? Nothing really out of the ordinary, I've just sat around getting more and more unqualified. I had an interesting idea about the nature of hell, but given that I came up with it at like 4:30am one morning when I couldn't sleep, it's pretty depressing, so I probably won't post it. Plus putting it into words might enrage me again and hey that wouldn't be good now would it!
I finally posted on Doomworld's forums after having an account for some five and a half months. Given how avoidant I am of people I don't know, this is something of a personal triumph. Five posts down the line, and cutting responses from a community that seems to have far more than its fair share of sarcastic misanthropists have yet to materialise so I think I'm doing pretty well. More on this, or at least the IRC version of this, later.
Halloween came and went in its usual washed out, wasted opportunity way. Every year I think "It's Samhain, the most eldritch and unreal night of the year, there must be something satanic I can do" but it always ends up the same way, in front of the computers. The nearest I managed was in 1998 when I convinced these girls to accompany me on a journey to a nearby crossroads on the night in order to hear their futures divined on the wind. Unfortunately they ended up going to a stoner's party in Coventry instead.
Also it was bonfire night yesterday, but unlike last year it didn't go quite so ballistic, and I wasn't tempted every five minutes to say "My gods if the terrorists came and attacked now, nobody would notice".
Work on my "Tribute to Slugfest 9" Doom map has largely stagnated, as you might well expect. Honestly, I've got a head full of ideas for stuff to do, programs to write, other programs to modify, yadda yadda... but no motivation to get on with them. It torments me, like everything else... On the other hand, Sandbox, a program in BBC Basic which built a huge circular map and filled it with random monsters for the purpose of investigating the dynamics of large monster fights, was converted to Perl in order that it might be able to be used by a wider audience. I'd like to one day distribute it... but, typically, it's not yet ready...
Pete posted an astonishing article (4/11/2002) on his site about how he feels sorry for people who don't have his confidence, who avoid situations, who let others do the talking, "who battered their self-esteem so heavily that it put them in that state". As you might expect, I managed to take this very personally. However, looking on the bright side, I managed to once again resist the temptation to abuse my root privileges on the site's server by scribbling obscenities all over the page... Also, I realised that while he might not think he can talk to anyone without making a fool of himself, but those of us he talks to might argue otherwise ;)
Webnewsstats has a new page, this one combines posts to a number of internal Warwick newsgroups and puts the lot in one table. It's nice to know that writing the code so that newsgroups could be combined actually works, heh. Yes I know that at the moment the page is probably too wide for your browser window, but you can blame Mr Joey Jo Jo Ridiculously Long Name for that.
And of course, IRC...
Hilarious IRC quotage!
Seeing as bash.org doesn't seem to like the submissions that have been sent there from #warwick, I thought I might copy out a few humourous moments from my logs and post them here!
You'll buy anything I say!
I'm not a very good outrageous liar, I tend to giggle too much when trying to bullshit people in real life. But on IRC it's different! If you're giggling profusely as you type, nobody will know!
On #warwick there is a modified InfoBot running, called bisc ("I am a modified 0.45.3 infobot named after my predecessor `misc' and my owner's keen liking of biscuits.") The following gem of a quote came about as I was the only one present at the time who pokes bisc's source code to see how the thing works. It had temporarily died, and Pete, playing silly buggers under the above-mentioned sure impression that he wasn't looking like a fool to anyone, had stolen its nickname, forcing it to rename itself when it came back. Afterwards, this happened.
Oct 26 23:46:07 - Oct 26 23:47:58
<RjY> it might try to change its name again
<RjY> there you go
<Pete> And sanity was restored
<RjY> i can stop searching the code now
<RjY> good because i don't know where to start:/
<Ool> Why did it change to bisc2?
<RjY> bisc: nickometer bisc1
<bisc> 'bisc1' is 22% lame, RjY
<RjY> bisc: nickometer bisc2
<bisc> 'bisc2' is 14% lame, RjY
<RjY> that's why
<RjY> it was trying to de-lame its nick
<Ool> Weird.
<Ool> It does that?
<RjY> rofl
<RjY> you'll buy anything i say about bisc
<Ool> Oh, shut up.
But I couldn't shut up! I had the taste... for blood! Damn, it'd be so much easier if I had a script to change my xchat logs into something I could dump into here...Hey! Guess what I just wrote, heh...

Happy birthday indeed. My word... It's not like I didn't post all over this site, aaw, etc at the time about how I was going to a rave, and then there was the whole technical difficulties thing... My gods. But anyway.
Mistaken identity!
I've also been hanging around in the various Doom channels on Freenode (to which I wish they'd move #warwick, because it's bigger, faster, has more servers, especially in Europe, has more secure and robust services, it's full of Doom channels, programming channels, Debian's channels, whereas Astrolink is fucking empty...) Now the Doom IRC community, intimately linked with Doomworld and its predecessors, has been around for ever so it's quite a hard society to break into, but I'm trying, at least trying not to get banned for being a clueless noob, especially since I've not really made a well-known contribution like made a load of maps or a source port or whatever. So basically, this means lurking and lots of it. Hence the months and years of silence on Doomworld's forums.
I'm usually in #zdoom which is currently the busiest channel, I occasionally say something but mostly I'm idling. On this occasion I've been doing that, saying "heh" every so often, etc. Anyway so I switch back from web browsing and I see some highlighted lines! Someone's mentioned my name, okay, what's going on...

<anarkavre> doom 3 is really a solution to stopping terrorism
<SargeBaldy> heh
<Ralphis> RAWWWWWRRRRR
<SargeBaldy> how does that work?
<sanmingzhi> why would you want to stop terrorism
<SargeBaldy> RjY, enlighten us
It wasn't all good... Here's the bit where a few of the more seasoned denizens let slip with a bit of information, and I find out again what they think of noobs... However, I love this because this is what I do best. Idle. Eavedrop. Pick stuff up that I'm not supposed to know. Fantastic. (Then post it, but censor it, because if they ever found this page, I'd get banned for sure...)

<Danarchy> because #doom went elsewhere
<lament> i'm not sure if not being banned in #doom is a good thing
<BigBadGangsta> Heh
<Danarchy> hell
<Danarchy> I was banned on #doom pretty much every time I visited
<sanmingzhi> no one is banned in #doom right now
<BigBadGangsta> Heh
<Danarchy> ...
<sanmingzhi> its a utopia of shared unmongliness
<lament> heh
<lament> sanmingzhi: #doom on **CENSORED**?
<sanmingzhi> of course
<lament> heh
<notmewse> wtf are you doing you retard
<Danarchy> NEIN!
<notmewse> don't advertise it
<RjY> heh
<Danarchy> heh
<lament> heh
<RjY> somewhere else to lurk :)
<notmewse> fuck off!
<BigBadGangsta> IMO though, when I really thought about it, #doom was better if
you realy think about it hard.

But this, and this is the last bit of this stupidly long update, I promise, was sort of the best bit, because here's where I find out I'm not as invisible as I thought I was.
