Is there an easy way to track people who access files on an NFS share? I'd like to know who's accessed a file, and when. I'm hoping there's a way to get an http style usage log.

fun post.

So yeah, last night.

Went to a housewarming party.
Drank too much (I know you are all so surprised right now).
Left too late to catch the last train home so I had to spend a million years on the GhettoBus back to the East Bay.
Realized I was missing my phone.
Realized I was missing my keys.
Realized my catsitter had my only set of spare keys (which I usually leave in a local spot buried in a baggie just in case something like this happens).
...Fuck.
Decided I was NOT spending the night outside because fuck that it's cold and I'm drunk and there is a warm bed right in there.
Tossed a brick through my own bathroom window.
Slept.
Cursed a lot the next day when I realized that my cell phone and keys were total history.
Told my landlord that someone threw a brick through my window.

>_>
For those who haven't yet heard, Homme will be closing its doors Thanksgiving weekend. So that means you only have a few weeks left to enjoy the lounge and its various nights.

Resurrection will be holding its "Finale" on Wednesday the 25th, which should be a great night to end things as its the day before Thanksgiving (always a great time). Until the end we have two more Wednesdays, so come out and enjoy yourselves before its gone! Thank you to everyone who has supported Resurrection for these past 3 years!

Lots of thanks going out to the management at Homme for always providing a very welcoming place for the alternative crowds, and unlike the management of so many other bars, actually caring about its patrons above and beyond the revenue it gains from them.

Over and out,
Rob / DJ not-so-noiz.fkr

I am sitting at the Pembury tavern with [info]nyecamden, who is treating me to beer and food (I shall have to put out then), [info]abigailb, [info - personal] fluffymormegil and others. Nye smells good. Martin has brought a geek game called Shadow Hunter which makes no sense whatsoever. Beer good.

Suppose I have a bunch of a particular kind of file with scrambled names (ABCD.jpg CDBA.jpg BBCA.jpg, etc) all from www.website.com/foo/

Suppose then I would like to wget replacements for all of the files.
Who knows why? Maybe they're growing mold. Not the important part of the scenario.

Is it possible to make a bash script using grep to get the file names and insert them into a wget command? I am not very familiar with bash or grep, so assuming this scenario is possible how might one do it?

Thanks.

I am trying to remove the Facebook app from my BB Curve, along with the Facebook calendar option (which is set as my default calendar and I can't remove it).

Can I use my desktop manager to get my calendar back in order, and delete that app? I apparently can't just delete it from the "Applications" list in my "Options" menu.

Hi poops,

I have just adopted a 12 year old long haired cat from a local shelter. He has brown/black tiger markings with a white chest and white feet. What should I name him?

Boardgaming got started late today. That worked out ok though, as it gave me time to get the new headlights installed on the jeep. It comes from the factory with sealed beam headlights that are not very bright. Presumably sealed-beam so that you can drive through deep water without worry about cold water on hot light bulbs. I figure I probably drive at night way more often than I drive through deep water, and being able to see & be seen is a higher priority.

I went with some Hella brand "Vision Plus halogen conversion" lamps & housings. (http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?jeep-sid=79&plID=0&partID=9988) The price I paid was nice ($20 * 2 lights) and these are not so bright as to be annoying to other drivers. The next step up would be $70/pair PIAA halogens, then after that it would be HID lights with projector lamps, but that's way overkill and bad for other drivers if not set up properly.

I drove with them a short while this evening, and they are a definite improvement over the stock headlights. I don't see a need to upgrade beyond these $20 lights at this point.

I also got the fog lights on the upper light bar working (there was a disconnected wire behind the dash switch), one of them is burned out though.

Tomorrow I plan to migrate some of my stuff from the truck to the jeep, and maybe look at a few minor improvements I can put together. (example: It occurred to me that a short chunk of PVC pipe and some of my velcro straps would be a useful way to secure my maglite to the sport bar for out of the way storage and quick access.)

Boardgaming was great today. Games I played were:"Survive!" (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2653), "Felix, the Cat in the Sack" (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/32125), "Bang" (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3955) & several rounds of Ca$h & Gun$ (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/19237). Other folks played several games of Pandemic (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549).

Fratboy's last words to me before he staggered off to bed tonight were 'thank you for being such an awesome mom'.

I'm not sure what exactly brought that on, but I'll take it.

This weekend the beauty of meal planning finally made itself present. Most of y'all who are way smarter than I am probs knew this a whole lot longer ago, but for me it was a bit of a revelation. See, in addition to making only what's on sale to save money, it also leaves me a few extra bucks to stock up on the loss leaders each week. As a result we have a pretty healthy pantry of staples. Monday is Frattie's birthday and as much as I know he loves a good $200 dollar dinner out, that's my grocery budget for the whole week, let alone one meal. Once upon a time that would have meant whipping out the credit card or eating ramen noodles for a week. Instead I looked around at the frozen leftovers, general staples and with my handy meal planning bible managed to buy groceries to feed 6 of us for a week for $48. And we're gonna eat GOOD. Red, fresh scallops are totally on sale this week so I'm FINALLY going to try your cajun scallops recipe you posted about a kajillion years ago. I may not be able to benember how old I actually am anymore but give me a flyer full of sale priced foods and its amazing the connections my brain will make. Anyways. Fratboy may not get the full monty in terms of dinners out but we can still afford to go someplace nice and not have to worry about how we're going to pay for it.

I'm feeling pretty domestic goddess-like right now, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm also drunk off my ass. Apparently I'm in excellent company as half the world is posting drunkenly tonight for Nano-drunk-0 or something. Anyone benember when lj was the hot place to be? I still love it and will never leave if for nothing else because my and my lj are the longest relationship I've ever had. About 6 months longer than me and Kneegs. Ha. Somedays I'd kind of like FB and Twitter to DIAF so people will come back here and spill their guts again.

Then I benember I'm fucking old now, and may as well be wishing for the days of typewriters and betamax.

I'll be honest, I don't really give a shit what you had for lunch or how bad your commute home was or whatever else 140 measly characters lets you capture. I love the wide open spaces of lj, the freedom to say as much or as little as I see fit. Maybe it's because I'm not clever enough to come up with enough scintillating content in such confined spaces? Maybe it's because I just talk too damned much. Really, I don't care. LJ has been my home now for going on 10 years and I'm not leaving until they burn it down. So thank you, to the few and the proud who are still here giving me content worth reading and thinking about and laughing over. There aren't many of us left, or maybe that's just on my flist? If you got some excellent peeps you want to pimp out on yours by all means feel free. We die hards need to stick together.

Or something.

Rest in peace, Avondale.

I just realized that I missed the memorial service for my friend and co-worker, Avondale Fleming. We weren't very close, but Avondale was a good person. I met him when I first started working for Bright House Networks. We sat near each other, and he helped me quite a bit. We joked around at work, and I got the sense that he was an all-around good guy. He's one of several people I would've liked to hang out with outside of work, but plans never quite came together. We lost touch when I was out of work for a few months because of my back, and as with so many other people we really lost touch when I moved to the night shift.

Last week I found out from another co-worker that Avondale had been found in a coma. The exact details weren't available, but once he was taken to the hospital the doctors pronounced Avondale brain dead. His family had a very hard decision to make. Ultimately they decided not to keep him on life support, and he passed away. I've got sketchy information because everything was circulated word-of-mouth at work, but I believe all of this happened about a week ago.

Today (Saturday) was when his memorial services were to be held in Altamonte. It slipped my mind until I came home and logged into the computer, at which point my calendar reminder popped up. With all of the drama I've had in my life these past few days I'd completely forgotten.

I feel bad for missing the memorial. I liked Avondale, and I would've liked the chance to tell his family how highly I thought of him.

To a German pub in Vauxhall after work for [info]lproven's 42nd birthday celebration! I was shocked to discover he's younger than me ... The beer was middling, though the pints of black lager were nice enough (any Australian who's had Tooheys Black will be happy).

Today I mostly made up for not spending all day every day this week with Freda by doing the Toddler Workout, which involves lifting her from the floor to the ceiling over and over and over. In between I was reading Makers by Cory Doctorow, which everyone should read. You can read the whole book online before you buy.

I have also spent today mulling over work-based problems and wishing I had VPN access sorted. This is not intrinsically upsetting me or annoying me. That's good, right?

Dear Shitsters,

I have to take my sister to a concert that is going to be full of scene kids, because she is too shy to do go by herself. I like some of the songs the band has, but overall I am not too pleased. What should I do to pass the time?
