Speed.. returns! (I think)

Post #115,197 by Ashton 8/24/03 4:20:27 PM Reply	Speed.. returns! (I think) Not exactly a suggestion.. zIWE has responded as if well, as if it were Inclusion-'IWE' .. during the last week or so. Well, didn't bother w/ trace and stuff; just assumed it was Standard Billycorruption universally. Today noted the unearthly Crispness at login, seemed to have returned. Went to [link\|http://www.internettrafficreport.com/7day.htm\| www.internettrafficreport.com/7day.htm] to see if there be any correlation. Oddly, while there's a small 24-hr. local rise - we're nowhere back to pre- [latest M$ multiple pissings in the swimming pool]. So much for WAG-logic (and no research) So maybe - Greg tweaked homies/dev/slow-switch/on-off-random? Maybe not. Guess I'll sacrifice a 486-SX33 across 120 Vac - as I'm reading Eye in the Sky (Philip K. Dick) which explains why that might be as effective as anything. A book.. whose opening \ufffd is set within the very building housing The Bevatron! - and is postulated upon an er Occurrence There. 'Our' Bevatron, as is made clear by the er specs - (and was written before my time, when it was about in testing..) Why didn't I ever hear of this story - before!? Gawd + PKDick as.. as [MY]Accelerator Junkies! Why.. it's. enough. to. Aaaaauuuuummmmmmmmm

Knowing when to: echo "0" > /dev/fsck-Ashton and knowing when to: renice +19 "Ashton" or knowing when to: cbq 1k /dev/Ashton http Those are but tricks... BUT, alas, It is all the work of getting a new 10/100/1000 Managed Network Switch in... I was noticing tremendous amount of fluctuation on the private side network. It is as if the switch fabric on the 3com was failing. Put in the new one right below the old one... swapped em over one by one... using an MDI-X port... once all swapped yank the MDI-X cable. The 3com was in fact going BAD. Now it is used as an expensive rack tray... all guts removed, top off. Hold all the ancillary power Supplies and power strips now. What the big clue was, my NFS speeds has become so slow... it was faster to sneaker-net stuff. I debugged for quite a while... I used a crossover cable to check... speed went through the roof... tried it from multiple machines... same. Well, thank goodness for me being retentive about things.

These are funny jokes and you deserve to be in on them :) 1) This means an attached hardware device, the "Ashton fuculator", has been manually stimulated from the command line. Greg is a past-master, and never uses anything but command lines. Also, manually stimulating the fuculator from the command line produces and electric scrotal shock to Greg's remaining testicle that he considers quite pleasant. (One can obtain a similar, if not quite as intense, sensation from the pseudo-fuculator /dev/fsck-noone but this is not "best practice".) 2) This means that Greg can cause your time sense to dramatically change by speeding up your metabolism. In case you didn't know, there are subliminal messages from his server that cause a metabolic slowdown, so that the speed appears unnaturally fast. When these messages are withheld by changing your personal subliminator-thread priorty, the actual speed is again detectable. 3) This one is quite clever, if rather mean-spirited. What he is doing is "throttling" your bandwidth. (Yes, Greg likes to throttle other dudes - I know it's sick, but it takes all kinds...) Personally, I'm live and let live and can live with throttlers, as long as they don't proselytize, hang out around schools, or attempt to pervert the institution of marriage. -drl

As to these keen fine-tuning clues for gonadtropine: 1) Then were I to echo "OW" > dev/fsck/Greg-orian/chant (that remaining globe would feel like it was just put in a vice.. and chanting might? help with the pain) 2) Oh.. he's sending them this way? Too? so then - my tunneled conversation with Mr. Managed N. Switch (about how inadequately he's been feeling lately) has sorta been ummm duplex all along? OK - fair is fair. (Guess someone enthralled with renice-ness - would feel that way.. After all it's about BASHing things ain't it? Now if he starts spouting killall.. well it's probably best to unplug - it's the only way to be Sure!) 3) Well, that's truly Thoughtful about slowing down the entropy and all - we can all do with a little artificial serenity, I allus say. Perhaps if my cbq.init had a line of the sort # user-nukeGreg -d /cache/ -r -s /dev/null squid >/dev/null 2>&1 (unless sch_cbq is missing, of course) - - -we'd at least take care of the calamari. (You're allowed to choke those - but you may Not enjoy it.) Gracias.. I see now that I have yet to scratch the surface of Deeply Disturbed Gonzo Scripting therapy. {sigh} So much to learn.. So much of it Weird. (Even though I just finished Mr. Hunter S. Thompson's latest screed on the general loss of neuronic activity all around the place. He (too) thinks We've Lost It\ufffd ;-)
