[17:31] <Cheesehead> Ah, perhaps I'm finally getting the hang og irssi settings and screen usage.
[17:32] <Cheesehead> og not. Hasn't helped my spellng.
[17:33] <h00k> Cheesehead: I saw you....logged in as root earlier!
[17:33] <Cheesehead> Yup.
[17:33] <Cheesehead> Did I learn for that experience?
[17:34] <Cheesehead> /for/from
[17:34] <h00k> Hah
[17:34] <Cheesehead> Perhaps I will do *everything* as root for a day or two. With my fumbly fingers, what could go wrong?
[17:35] <h00k> O.O good idea.
[17:35] <h00k> it's okay, you have backups...
[17:35] <h00k> yes?
[17:35] <Cheesehead> What's a backup?
[17:39]  * Cheesehead washes his car AS ROOT muah ha ha ha
[17:44]  * Cheesehead pyas the eclectric bill AS ROOT muah ha ha ha
[17:44] <Cheesehead> Dang. That typo just cost me $40.
[17:44]  * Cheesehead goes back to being an ordinary user.
[17:46] <Cheesehead> Hooray! Just tried detaching irssi screen, logout of ssh session, log back in, re-attach irssi screen.
[17:47] <Cheesehead> At last, my announced presence in this channel is irrelevant!
[17:47] <Cheesehead> Well, slightly more irrelevant.
[17:52] <h00k> :D
[19:12] <twopoint718> running as root: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/24/bofh_2006_episode_8/ (funny)
[20:51] <mikeputnam> "So of course I'm sporting a headache that measures 'Kurt Cobain' on the pain scale and instead of easing it with some hair of the dog I have to sit through the inane drivel of a man who knows as much about linux as Princess Grace did about mountain driving..."
[20:55] <mikeputnam> "It seems you were right after all"
[20:55] <mikeputnam> "What do you mean?"
[20:55] <mikeputnam> "About a silly typing error causing problems"
[20:55] <mikeputnam> "How"
[20:55] <mikeputnam> "Well I logged in as root earlier and I was just going to try that ps thing you mentioned, but instead I accidentally typed in 'nohup cd /; rm -rf * > /dev/null 2>&1 &' "
[20:57]  * Cheesehead hates when he types that by accident
[20:58] <mikeputnam> especially with that dangling carrot of nohup
[20:58] <Cheesehead> I figured out that I *can* do most things as root. Just not on the computer.
