00:14.11findlayHello, Mr. Frank Churchill
00:16.38bonez39anyone here right now, running thunderbird?
00:16.52bonez39I am running 0.4 and have no Export option for exporting address data
00:16.57HarleyPigNo, but I'm listening to Freebird.
00:17.18bonez39HarleyPig: such a sage response......how's Mr. Clapton today?
00:17.31HarleyPigsmooth.  As usual. :>
00:18.03HarleyPigNext up is Free Falling.  I'm in a mellow mood for some reason.
00:20.12bonez39oh, you can keep Mr. Petty....not a big fan but I do enjoy some of his work
00:20.21bonez39or is this Free Falling from Clapton?
00:20.41HarleyPig? Wasn't aware that EC had done a title called Free Falling.
00:20.46HarleyPigNo, it's Petty.
00:21.13dmdavisOr free bird
00:21.22dmdavisat least, I wasn't
00:22.13HarleyPigYes ... thank you.  It is Lynrd Skynrd.  I was listening to some Clapton earlier.
00:22.29findlayno, no, no...  "The Firebird" is a ballet by Igor Strawinsky.
00:22.50HarleyPig:]
00:22.58findlaysome good music in there too.
00:23.16findlaypart of it was used in Fantasia 2000
00:27.03bonez39Free Bird..yeah, that's what I was thinking of...

18:23.59lukfugl'lo all
18:24.24Jayce^lo
18:24.25dmdavishi
18:24.30lukfuglhate to always hit and run, but it's the only way I can even get in here while at work :)
18:24.59lukfugltoday's question: can I change the MAILTO variable i the middle of a crontab?
18:25.36dmdavisno idea
18:25.41lukfuglsay I've got cronjobs A, B and C. I want any output from A and B to go to john@doe.com, but any output from C to go to jane@doe.com
18:26.17lukfugl(you'll probably suggest having john and jane as users have different crontabs, but that's not an option at the moment)
18:26.18BradipoHmm, maybe if you run the command with env
18:26.52Bradipo* * * * * env MAILTO=jane@doe.com /usr/local/bin/croncommand
18:27.02BradipoI don't know if that will actually work or not though.
18:28.26lukfuglI guess that means it's time to experiment

18:28.47Fistendelis Harley here?
18:28.54Jayce^just stepped out..
18:28.56bonez39Jayce^: oh, never my intention.....I ask you all as I respect your knowledge and abilities....;)
18:28.57Jayce^usually is though
18:29.03Fistendelbastich
18:29.05Jayce^bonez39, :)
18:29.12Fistendelmusta smelt me coming
18:32.34Jayce^so lukfugl, you like that little web hack I did for last night?
18:34.21lukfuglyeah :)
18:35.11lukfuglnope, that didn't work
18:38.50lukfuglwell -- maybe. Does stdout get mailed to the mail to, or just stderr?
18:39.16Jayce^stdout usually goes to the user...  dont' know with that mailto thing added
18:39.16lukfuglI was trying '* * * * * MAILTO=me echo "crontest"' and didn't get any mail
18:39.45lukfuglThe full crontab looks like this:
18:40.07lukfuglMAILTO=someone
18:40.15lukfugl[cron job 1]
18:40.17lukfugl[cron job 2]
18:40.42lukfugl[cron job 3 is the one I just showed]
18:41.08lukfuglI know that the output (stderr or stdout I don't know) from 1 and 2 are already successfully going to 'someone'
18:41.37lukfuglbut stdout from cron job 3 wasn't coming to me, and 'someone' isn't in right now so I don't know if it went to them or not
18:42.11adminsmurfWhich cron program are us using.
18:43.14lukfuglVixie Cron (according to the man page)
18:44.06lukfuglcan't seem to figure out how to get a version number
18:44.44*** join/#utah xilch (~xilch@cpe-66-87-26-31.ut.sprintbbd.net)
18:45.21lukfuglok, just checked (temporarily changed the crontab global mailto to me) and stdout does come to me now. So localizing MAILTO as an environment variable doesn't work

18:50.35lukfugloh, well. I guess I'll just modify my script to send the email itself with the STDOUT portion instead of writing to STDOUT, and hope the MAILTO recipient forwards me any STDERR output (don't expect there to be any, but you know ... :)

19:59.11fozzmooThat's what his wife said.
19:59.15fozzmooBuahhh hah hah hah
19:59.20fozzmooSorry.

20:04.47fozzmooAm I the only one who isn't impressed by the fact we've set a new record with this inversion? :)
20:04.59leviI want it to GO AWAY already.
20:05.03HarleyPigWhat record?  83 was worse.
20:05.28neybar_workthere is actually a little bit of sunshine here in Provo
20:05.29fozzmooWe're setting a new record every day  with number of consecutive days where the high temperature doesn't go above freezing.
20:05.42fozzmooThe record was 18 and we're like on day 21, I think.
20:05.49neybar_workyup
20:05.56emcnabb_this is normal for me (I'm from Illinois) :-)
20:06.10emcnabb_anyone know of any morphing software for Linux?
20:06.29FistendelNeybar, how goes it my friend
20:06.34neybar_workI am really surprised that I haven't gotten a cold yet.  Three years ago when we had that bad inversion I got the worst cold/sinus infection ever
20:06.46neybar_worknot too shabby
20:06.53fozzmooWEather.com says we MIGHT get above freezing tomorrow.
20:07.14fozzmooBut then it's back to upper 20s again after that.
20:07.30neybar_workI don't care so much about the temp, I just want a nice breeze to move this crap outta here
20:07.33HarleyPigOk ... I'm going back to knoppix ... bbiab
20:07.53fozzmooYeah. Need to get some big fans out in Magna blowing this stuff outa here.
20:08.21leviI want to see the sun!
20:08.26fozzmooGo to Heber.
20:08.30leviI want all the stupid snow on the ground to melt!
20:08.45neybar_workand as soon as the lightrail comes to utah county I will be riding it.  I'm sure it doesn't help that there are so many cars on the road everyday
20:08.46leviI'm sick of lumps of ice in the parking lots.
20:09.09fozzmoolight rail doesn't help pollution.
20:09.15fozzmooBut don't get me started.
20:09.17fozzmoo:)
20:09.21neybar_workmass transit
20:09.47neybar_workno lets get it started, I wanna hear.
20:10.00fozzmooOh boy.
20:10.18fozzmooWhere do I start.
20:10.27fozzmooWell, consider all the on-grade crossings TRAX has.
20:10.36fozzmoo2100 So, 7200 So, 3300 So...
20:10.38fozzmooJust to name a few.
20:10.43neybar_workok
20:10.56fozzmooThe trains stop vehicle traffic there for 30+ seconds every 5 minutes or so.
20:11.06fozzmooThis means people on those roads have to wait
20:11.12fozzmooThey don't shut their engines off.
20:11.22fozzmooThey idle- pouring more toxic pollution into the air.
20:12.14fozzmooUTA's own estimates back in the 80s said that light rail would only take 500 cars off the road.
20:12.36fozzmooFor the price tag, we could have built condos for those 500 drivers closer to where they worked.
20:13.29fozzmooSalt Lake valley just doesn't have the population density to support light rail. So, we're basically going to be losing tax money on it big time for the next 20 or so years until we do have that density.
20:13.53fozzmooAnd then UTA will say, "Light rail is so... 1999. We need maglev."
20:14.04fozzmooAnd then I'll pass out from an anneurism. :)

20:14.19HarleyPigHelloooo everybody!
20:14.28fozzmooHey h-pig
20:14.35HarleyPigback on knoppix
20:14.51neybar_workso then what should be done, if anything, about having so many cars on the road?
20:15.07HarleyPigrandomly activated mines buried in the road.
20:15.13neybar_worklol
20:15.30fozzmooIf UTA hadn't shut down so many bus routes to force people to ride TRAX "or else," we'd be in better shape.
20:15.55fozzmooI used to tell people they should have just paved the right of way for TRAX and run buses up and down those routes. It would have been a lot cheaper.
20:16.36hansheh
20:17.02fozzmooSure, the rest of the world woudl have laughed at us in 2002, but we'd be better off economically.
20:17.35fozzmooMe too.
20:17.41fozzmooThis permafrost stuff is stupid.
20:17.51fozzmooI WANT TO SHOVEL!

20:18.11fozzmooI wonder how much we'll get tomorrow, if any.
20:18.31fozzmooweather.com says 60% chance of precip.
20:18.41Jayce^hopefully
20:19.36Hanumanwe're getting a ton of snow on Sunday
20:19.47neybar_workonly bummer with the snow, is that I can't park on the street now... my drive way is only wide enough for one car, so we get to play musical cars all the time.
20:21.41fozzmooLike a rat?
20:21.48fozzmooThat stinks.
20:22.00fozzmooGood luck getting rid of that smell.

20:23.58HanumanI'm going to have to park out on the side of our apartments here just in case we get snowed in so I can drive should I need to on Sunday

21:00.38neybar_workhans: I don't think kmail has group reply, or at least I don't see it
21:01.22neybar_workI have reply, reply-all, reply-list
21:01.40fozzmooIsn't that reply-all?
21:01.45fozzmooIsn't that the same as group reply?
21:01.47neybar_work*shrug*
21:02.32neybar_workwhy would you want reply group over reply list? then you are getting double reply aren't you?
21:03.59HarleyPigHow reply-random?
21:04.15hansyeah, reply-all
21:04.30HarleyPigYou can choose to reply to a random entry in your database, or from the list or just make up an email from whole cloth.

21:23.32fozzmooI've used an Intel "hardware" modem (which requires a software driver to work) - and it seems to work pretty well, but I coudln't connect to XMission from a computer in Magna with one where a 3Com worked perfect.
21:23.37neybar_workassuming you are sticking this in a linux machine, you will have less headaches if you get a hardware modem
21:23.43fozzmooIndeedly.
21:27.05TenebramHow would one tell the difference when purchasing a modem?
21:27.13TenebramI'm asking this in proxy for someone else, by the way.
21:27.21fozzmooLook at the specs.
21:27.35fozzmooWhen I'm looking for a modem on EBay, I look for "not a Winmodem"
