Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Will print out just the regular files.

find . -type f -print

Will print the pathnames relative to the current directory.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks!

Thrive to spite them

I'm getting a new monitor for Christmas, is there a big difference between brands or is one just as good as another? Right now I have a 15" CRT monitor and I'm looking at getting a 19" LCD.

OK, what's the good AIM-type program for windows? Need something on my work computer here, but can't remember what the preferred program is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like Trillian.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

when in Windows, I second Trillian. Good multi-chat.

Awesome, thanks--I've used Trillian before, I just haven't had a PC in so long, I only remember Adium for my Mac! Have it now, yay.

Hey. New board.

I have heard a lot of good things about Miranda for Windows IMing too. Not that I've tried it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Trillian! Though it can be resource-heavy.
