Concerning the current listed storyline title...

"Green?"

"Super-green!"

Sorry, you may now continue about your business.

Za?

I REALLY need to update that. We've gone through something like four story lines since then.

Eh, it's not working at the moment, anyway (the dropdown). I just couldn't resist making the camp sci-fi reference.

"Behold! A broach... of purest green"

Allan_ecker · Post by **Allan_ecker** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 5:10 pm

What you have there is not gold. What you have created, if indeed, it has a name, is some green.

Oh Edmund! Can it be true? That I hold in my mortal hands, a nugget of purest green?

Yes, well, it's not so much a nugget as a splat.

"indded you do percy, except of course, it's not so much of a nugget is it, it's more of a splat"

at least, that's what my video says. the other lines could use a bit of adjusting too. :)

Well, yes, a splat today . . . but tomorrow - who knows, or dares to dream?

So we three alone in all the world can produce the finest green at will?

Just so. Not sure about counting in Baldrick, actually.

Kee-ripes! You're starting to sound like the Detail Bear!

"The way our new headsman operates, we don't need a spike so much as a toast rack."

"I have a cunning plan. You take the string, that's still not completely burnt, and you shove the pages back in again."
"Which pages, Baldric?"
"Well not the same pages of course. And this is the really brilliant bit: you write some new ones."
"So, I am to sit down and write the dictionary, which took Dr. Johnson ten years, over night."
"Right."

(later)
"Let's start with A. How would you define A?"
"Well, it doesn't really mean anything, does it?"
"Alright. A. Impersonal pronoun, doesn't really mean anything."

(Still later)
"Open Up! Open up or in my passion, I shall kill everyone by giving them Syphilis!"

"A man will fight for many things. For country, for glory, or even a single tear on the face of a golden child. But me, I'd mud-wrestle my own grandmother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock, and a sack of French porn."

Truly, words to live by.

Oh, not at all, DB, not at all.

You are, the regent of retentiveness, the prince of precision, the very king of corrections himself, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Besides, a guy like me needs all the correcting I can get.

These quotes...are they from Blackadder or something? Because that's the only movie/series/whatever that I remember having a character named Baldric/Boldrick/whatever.

Yep. The green quotes were from season 2, episode 4, Money, to be exact.

If you have a hard time finding it and/or the red dwarf, I can always copy them onto my laptop, bring my laptop to campus, and ftp them to a server you setup... I get to plug things into the campus network, as long as I claim they're for instructional purposes for my class. :)

Oh, goody! I'll go get my "correcting" equipment. I love "correcting".

And if you check, you'll see my comment was in quotations:

"You make that sound like a bad thing."

From sources too numerous to mention
and apparently not on any search engine.

Good idea, but...your location says California. Unless you're on the University of Washington campus, you can't get past the campus firewall to get to any server I set up.

UW servers will accept SSH and SFTP connections, though.

Just so's you know.

Alfador · Post by **Alfador** » Tue Nov 04, 2003 7:47 pm

a) I don't know of any (free) software that would set up an SFTP server. (Any ideas?)
b) I can still FTP out and make a connection--it's just that nobody can get in. Hence, someone else making a server and letting me know of its existance...could potentially be useful. Yes.

Allan_ecker · Post by **Allan_ecker** » Tue Nov 04, 2003 8:25 pm

Your home drive (both at dante.washington.edu and einstein.ee.washington.edu) may be accessed by SSH or SFTP. Of course, you'd probably have to grant complete access or none at all in both cases!

my first guess of free software to do sftp would be openssh (openssh.com). :)

if the port is not blocked, what keeps you from simply running a ftp server on ssh's port?

Alfador · Post by **Alfador** » Wed Nov 05, 2003 10:52 am

Hmm. Nothing, as far as I know. Now...if I could just figure out which port SSH is on...

[EDIT: Got it. Now, PM me or email me with a password, I'll give you your username, the IP address, and port number of the REGULAR FTP server at that time. Hopefully, it will be able to connect through that.]
