- <3 ioctl()
- Von Ahn's 251 tricks
- Operations
    - Mirroring
        - mirroring WikiLeaks most recent release 
        - mdille3: more fun things to mirror
            - awesie: then tell me about them
            - mdille3: they're too hard to find...
    - new WEBISO domU
        - etch!
        - pubcookie debs
        - seems to work
    - USENET
        - two transit servers now
            - nice, using yet another JetStor
        - can post more anonymously, setting something to 1
        - transit servers split in two, round-robin DNS
            - link between the two
            - Andrew set up reverse DNS appropriately for us
                - so, we're screwing up NetReg even more :-D
        - memory solved the history problem
            - but what if the power goes out?
            - dups? screwed up article numbers?
                - shouldn't be an issue?
            - consistency for copying history to disk?
            - memfs, doesn't swap like tmpfs, also avoids static allocation
              of ram disk
        - we had also almost got to the point where the spool disks couldn't
          keep up...
        - more stuff will happen when SCSI cables come
    - AWStats, working now
        - cron job wasn't running, awstats didn't have an entry in the
          shadow file
            - that's a feature, prevent random riff-raff users from having
              cron jobs
            - maybe could fix using PAM, but PAM configuration is a pain
            - if we didn't have shadow requirement, wouldn't be able to have
              users without kerberos principals (maybe)
    - Dell management stuff, what can it do?
        - awesie: I'm not going to touch it
        - might be able to do really cool things
        - mkasick: if you have something newer than 2650s, turn off patrol
          reads (for the 2850, at least)
            - can cause contention from the RAID controller, idle heuristic
              isn't good enough
        - what third color for wires going all over the place?
            - mkasick: blue, like hospitals and health
        - apparently runs web server, provides information about sensors
- Finance committee
    - needs more people
    - event moneys
        - reimbursement in dkohlbre's name for $52
        - deposited $47, dug into pizza fun for $5
        - sold the one shirt, $15 allocated to T-shirt
        - should get more people at events, to use more pizza money
        - should sell more shirts
    - more detail on how we scared our JFC representative to death
    - got confused by suggestion that we have two Oracle accounts, one for
      restricted JFC funds, and other for unrestricted pizza funds
        - AB just creates more organizations...
        - oh, we should create a spin-off organization
        - the Computer Club Pizza Society
    - submitted a budget
        - was able to get in this time
        - randomized entries as they were inserted
        - didn't total entries...
        - things were hard to describe in limited space
        - made-up categories
    - cables?
        - probably haven't been ordered
        - somebody with a Tartan Card should order them
        - ethernet, SCSI, and IEC cables
- Event stuff!
    - next Thursday, 2/19
        - Thursday, there's a stuco that meets until 8:00pm
    - reservation, need an estimated number of participants
    - need estimated times of start and end
        - end time is midnight
    - Pizza?
        - request table?
        - Wean lobby?
- EURion constellation
    - how imaging programs now they shouldn't print things
    - perl script for adding it to arbitrary Postscript
    - un-printable documents :-)
    - printer hacking, oh, print this .tif file
- Mdille3:
    - genuine!
    - good professor friend, works with embedded Linux, used to help him,
      but don't have time anymore, it could be a fun part-time job
    - redacted
- Rlane:
    - got grade for Scala assignment, 100
        - note: please tell us next time if you turn in assignment in
          language other than Java
- Kbare:
    - can't remember
- Mkasick:
    - adviser may or may not know where I'm living
- Git:
    - there exists a Git book
    - Pragmatic Programmer, better than O'Reilly
