Hello Fionnuala,

 I'm really sad I haven't been calling you on the phone .... I've actually tried & tried
 but we travelled up to ski place almost straight away and I'm completely
 moithered between public phone carriers not allowing collect international calls
 OR accepting my various credit cards.

 Anyway ... this should hopefully get to you Monday morning when you check your
 mail ... I'm pretty sure I CAN call you from this hotel (Holiday Inn, Tempe)
 but it's 11pm here and so I think 6am over in Irl .... nearly acceptable  (I tried to call you
  at midnight earlier today!!!)

 Having a great time!

 Met Mark & Fergus in Dublin airport after a slight misadventure with taxis ( I saw a suspicious car leaving
 Mark's estate just as we arrived, the taxi co had sent two cabs ... either intentionally or whatever.
 Taxi driver was quite chatty. Anyway, checked in, flew to Gatwick, waited there for a while .... bought
 some sci-fi books :)  Do Anadroids Dream of Electric Sheep
   Philip K Dick.
 Fergus bought a really cool digital camera .... 700 pounds!! eek
  but it records sound too, also I think he now has an mp3 (movie) clip of Rachel turning elegantly and me
  falling over on my back in the snow.

 Eventually we got on the plane, it was grand really, the air was lovely and cool throughout which I was
 surprised at. Tried to doze off a bit but failed really ... my imagination forced into strange thinking and
 listening to music mixed with natural sounds (stream flowing, birds,
...) didn't even work The in-flight
 movies were quite good ... ? and theoneabouttheboywhothoughtofanideatohelpotherpeopleandtogetthemtopayitforward

  ... er :)  they were really good actually.

 OH!  I remember!  Charlie's Angels and
  Pay it Forward
  I must've been really tired as the last one almost had me crying
  at the ending.

  The flight was quite long ... got some air food, ate it, talked, dozed ... eventually we arrived in Phoenix,
  got through immigration quite quick really, waited ages for baggage, then I stupidly toold a customs person
  I still had a sandwich. DOH!  US customs confiscated my orange and my beef sandwiches (though I had
  had some in London & on plane, so I did manage to smuggle European farm produce in in my tummy.
  They should fire the little dog in the airport ... he didn't find my fruit at all!   We're going to put a bit about
  how to smuggle sandwiches in through US customs in our Software Project Reference Manual. :)

 ANYWAY .... once we escaped that we carried our bags a wee bit ... which then turned into a very long bit
 out side (it seemed really warm ... of with jumpers & jackets). Finding eventually a bus stop. The Hertz bus
 arrived eventually and we piled in .... it drove for a while ... somewhere around & away from the airport to hired
  car ... which proved a bit trickey to find in car park.  Fergus drove us all ... 1st following Ronan's directions (but
  between them they'd missed a vital (turn on to Rural road at exit 7) so we ended up way South & East ....
  we backtracked using my mapquest map :-) and my dot was in the right place.

  Got to hotel 6:30ish, met Rachel shortly after ... that would've been 1:30ish in the morning for youi so I'd already
  missed the call for the first day away :(. Fergus & I didn't check in as we were heading
  up N in the direction of skiing that night.  Off we headed, in Rachel's car. 3hrs later (ish) we found
  Flagstaff.
  We drove up & down a bit and eventually found a nice enough place to stay (snow ploughed into heaps all around
   Flagstaff). Then drove up & down a bit trying to find an open restaurant that wasn't called McDonalds!
   A good few places were shut at that stage but we found a Roma's Pizzareia. I had one pizza & F&R shared another.
 At this stage I was getting over my amazement at the real friendliness of all the Americans.
 Not just in hotel/airport/restuarants/bars but everyone else too was nice to talk to and very helpful.
 Arizona's a pretty cool place I'm thinking.  Arizona

  The restaurant guys told us where we should've gone so after that we headed & found lots of bars in downtown Flagstaff
  just a bit along further from where we had looked. So of course after parking we went and had a beer.
  After practically all falling asleep over our beers we headed to hotel (before 12, before 7 your time so I didn't try
  to call) and slept till 8am.   At that stage I discovered that hotel's telephone carrier didn't take my credit card and also
  didn't do intl collect calls.  We succumbed to the dreaded McDonalds for breakfast ( a bit smallish for me). I drove
  there and up to the snowbowl (a few miles N of Flagstaff).  Easy enough drive.
  Arizona Snow Bowl

  We hired snowboards & bought liftpasses & headed straight out. All chairlifts so the only bad thing was the
  practically enevitable fall at the top (followed by the high speed inelegant crab crawl away from danger). I did
  manage to get hit by Rachel's boot just once. We started going down a big wide green. That was lovely ... I
  was surprised enough that I could stay upright and fall without bruising myself.   .... this was to change shortly.
  Next we went up a bit further ... both Rachel & myself were a bit dubious about leaping into a black at this
  stage so we got off at a halfway station on the highest chairlift. Fergus met us after his black bit .... managed
 the narrow blue fine really. A bit more falling for me on that though. My calves were getting stiffer & stiffer
 from constantly edging sharply on the steep slopes to keep to a reasonable speed whereupon falling off I wouldn't
 crack every single bone in my body.

  Next chairlift up we went all the way to the top ... to the black. Fast graduation!   I was actually reasonably
  pleasantly surprised to find that the black wasn't THAT steep. Just a bit narrow.  I could get down (with a bit
  more bruising)  but definately easier than doing a black on skis on day 2 of skiing! At this stage I met another
 friendly American & he was telling me how well his 3yr old was skiing ... I was a bit flabbergasted when he
  told me he was starting his 1.5 yr old too!!!  (he's taught all his 5 kids).  There were a good few small people
  on the slopes alright. Anyway ... nice to know some small people can have snow fun! :)  I saw him much later in
  the day on the last run when I was quite sore and I groaned a bit after falling a bit painfully ... I think that entertained
  him a bit ... he'd done snowboarding a bit himself & knew it was my day 2.  Anyway .... back to morning.
  After another run my body was battered and I was shaking a bit from lack of sugars.
  Two Gatorades + burger + soup + chips and a rest (listening
  to quite a good blues/jazz live band) later we were ... er ... not quite raring to go but eager to get the last part
  of the torture ... er, I mean fun over with.  (At this dinner I discovered another public phone company that didn't do
  collect international calls, didn't accept my credit card .... but would have given me three minuted if I could restle up
  $14 worthe of quarters ... AAAGGGHHH!!!!   I had gotten $5 of quarters (20).   Anyway .... time was pressing
  (ski lifts closing at 4) so we went up & down about 3 more long run times.   Rachel & myself were practically the
  last people to come down.  The snowpatrol passed me coming down at the bottom & I saw 1 skier after.  (I was
  feeling quite fragile and reluctant to fall much for the last while ... so that slowed me a bit more)  I did have great fun
  though ... up the top on wide runs had gone off piste slightly and befriended a v small tree.
  We were also last in the ski rental place & they were asking what kept us!

  Anyway ... fantastic fun. Brialliant sun .... lovely surface on all the runs & on the very last run I actually managed to do
  some proper turns where it wasn't horrenduously steep.

  Fergus drove back to Flagstaff & we all got more colours of Gatorade type things in the
  shop.  Parched all day I was. We ate a bit of snow on occasion.

  My palm has just told me it's Eimear's birthday on Tue (6th)!

  Anyway, Fergus drove a good bit & I took over after we got petrol. The roads had loads of traffic ... especially in Phoenix.
  Driving fine but fast & have to concentrate quite a bit.  In Phoenix road goes between 4 and 8/more lanes with cars
  overtaking & undertaking all over.  Whee!

  Ronan's just got here ... from flying ... so I might get a snadwich with him in 5 mins (it's 12:10 here ... might be able to
  call you after all ... 1am here is 8am over for you ... I think ... though my brain's getting a wee bit fuzzy.

  Anyway, got here, checked in finally, unpacked, cleaned up & caught up with Marks Hayden & Craven over a beer in bar.
  Hotel room lovely .... wee kitchenette, filtered coffee.  Marks say pool is v nice.  Might attempt to use jacuzzi to ease
  stiffness tomorrow.

  Right ... in case you're wondering there's a lovely PC in the hotel for our use.
  Fantastic!!!!

  Don't reply to hotel address I guess. Mail jamesco@s3group.com and I should be able to grab my mail from the net.

 Hope you enjoy the mail .....

 I should definately be able to call you much easier from work ...

 I'll definatrely try & get organised & try to talk to Daire tomorrow,

 Sorry I've been out of touch so long,

 I love you!  Hope your eye is gradually getting a bit better?
  Send me some news ....   You should see my eyes at this stage actually.  My face matches as do my elbows and
  a bruise on my rear (LHS).

 James.

Hullo,

 Finished up Lucent project (working practically by me ould self for maybe a year now 
 ... now onto a Motorola OMC project ... with some interesting history! eep.

 New PC ... one partition, BUckets of stuff on it .... I think it's time to format.
 URGH ... tried out M$ Outlook to read & send mail :(
 Faster than Netscrape, more stable IMAP interface ....
  But it's hung on me already loosing message (like Netscrape)
  It doesn't thread messages!!!!! Huh?
  A few ... vital ... things missing
  Can't bloody filter on To: field in views & can't filter to IMAP folders.

mutter mutter.

Hi, James Coleman here.

I'm starting on new project (Motorola IOP).
My old PC, cook is being kept for the meantime for the Lucent project.
There are going to be Lucent people here using a local account on that PC,
installing Lucent's OMC build environment in Wroclaw.
Perhaps talk to Orla Johnson if you want to know more about that.

.... anyway,
I've been given PC Nomos (193.120.88.174) and it needs some setup/reinstallation.
Checkdsk reports quite a number of bad sectors on the hard disk ... and it looked
like these were new, various installed components were unusable (eXceed, clearcase, ...).

The Motorola IOP guys have an automatic winNT installation from the network ... but
this hasn't worked for me. They've also got winNT CDs etc....
There is basically a problem when setting up the network identity of the computer.
It is not possible to add the PC to domain S3.
 The error reports "unable to connect to the domain controller, have admin check the computer account"

What is the Domain controller for S3? (88 subnetwork ... does this make a difference)
Nomos's IP: 193.120.88.174
Gateway: 193.120.88.230
subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 193.120.91.129
WINS: 193.120.88.55
Does that data look okay?

Nomos (and I) are on the top floor between Kamilla and James Curran's desks.

Ben: tacking
We go about.

I've gotta agree with Mike here, 
  any messing about with lights/braking just causes a bit more trouble. :-7

It takes very little to provoke these already high-strung individuals.
I've witnessed and even been subject, hmmm, subject wrong word (takes
two to tango like) participant? in something akin to road-rage.
 (akin? That was road-rage methinks whatever way I look at it)

 Last year, roundabout September sometime I think? Heading down to Limerick.

 In fast lane behind a few cars overtaking traffic + tailgater comes
  up real close behind.
 So what did I do?
  I slowed down a bit showing my brake lights ...
    a polite enough way of asking someone to back off?
   You STUPID Fucker James. >:-E
   NO.
  Car behind gets quite irate about this - and tailgates even closer.
   :(
 And then after overtaking & pulling in the other shite matches speed
  ... and proceeds to drive closer making funny angry faces across at us.

 If I wasn't so comfortable driving I can imagine easily being 
 forced off the road.

I've either learnt or found by now the best solution is just to keep
 driving reasonably whatever happens.  Give as little an opportunity
 as possible for additional stress to other drivers.
  ... on the offchance the next one has a GUN! :-)
  ... no, seriously, just to make driving as nice an experience as possible for everyone.

Until it's possible to tell these other drivers to relax and that you'd just
appreciate them backing off a little then trying to communicate with 
brake/fog lights just isn't a very good solution.

 I never found it really worked for me anyway.
 Does it really work for you?

In general :
 Treat other drivers as nicely as possible even though 
 some of them are being nothing but rude.

It's a good philisophy in general, especially for driving.

It really works with city driving and I can see quite a good
element in Dublin driving now, where traffic is experienced
enough to know that everyone benefits by leaving cars out of
 awkward spaces or onto the main road when the going is slow.

I don't see us getting rid of "bad drivers" ever either ... as 
it's definately taken me a while to reach first competency and now
 ... "partial enlightenment"? :)   So I also think we've just got
 to look out for either inexperienced/stupid(we all are sometimes)/inconsiderate
 driving, work with it and watch ourselves.

 I've got to admit that when the road is clear & wide another
 side takes over (not too much, like), I think it's all part of 
 this being human thing. :-]  Nobody's perfect.

Oh dear ... and I thought I was being pretentious replying underneath
 "One for the philisophers" ... I'm DOOMED.

Just to clarify .... "enlightenment" probably won't be reached until
 dangerous travel is eliminated. So even cycling isn't really helping
 cos I've got to go on roads. 

Some solutions?: (Okay, directed mostly at speeding only so hardly 
                  solutions to stopping death/injury) 

  Why is not every car fitted with a speed limiter if 70mph is the max
  speed doable in the country?  I know easyish to modify BUT if a place
  is serious about hte speed limit then WHY NOT?
    (I would dislike this terribly .... but still.....)

  Every car carries a GPS, logging positions & speeds, Gardai can
  download GPS data and total up your speeding fines. Easy peasy ....
  especially now that USA have turned off their encryption of their GPS.

  Why do people need to drive anyway?  It's fun. Yep that's probably it.
  But if we can replace the human driver with some GPS, radar, electronics 
  & software then at least we could blame the ENGINEERS for all the 
  deaths & injury. oerrr..... :)    We need to completely scrap our
  current thinking on roads & transport really.  
  People shouldn't really be habitually near these dangerous things.

Murphy's Property, 14 Pearse Square, Cobh.  Oh dear :( ... that page seems to have moved :(

English Auctioneers & Estate agents.
email: info@english-auctioneers.com
And these guys seem to be mainly into selling houses.

Depending on where in the city he works Cobh might be too far .... but
 with a family it might be nice to be out in the countryside.
I have seen plenty of places on-line where you can buy houses ... so I suppose
they could also be contacted for renting.
Let me do some rummaging again ......
 I was looking at auctioneers around Limerick recently.

The Cork Examiner property might be worth looking at:  (not really for renting though)

This is not a bug in seti software ...
it's a proxy problem ...
but there's an easy enough workaround that may be useful
for othger people behind a proxy.

I'm getting the following error:

Getting data - connecting to server.
HTTP Header received: HTTP/1.0 200 Ok
............
Receiving data: 330K
Receiving data: 340K
All data received.
Scanning data file
Error reading data: -23
Bad file header

It looks like the proxy is adding a header to the work_unit.txt file.
If I chop this header out (tail -b +11) then setiathome
starts processing next time it's restarted.
Here's the header:

Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 356411

status=0
major_version=1
minor_version=2
major_version_comment=
minor_version_comment=
message=
message_url=
end_reply_header

So basically I've a script to restart seti@home after chopping the
first um,  11 lines from the work_unit.txt. This might be
helpful if it was added to the known problems/solutions?

I've just started running setiathome-1.2.hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 on a HPB180L on hpux 10.20.
(in work .... and on a win/linux pentium @ home :)  ))

Oh yes :) .... and the Choose OS pulldown doesn't include a
HPUX or an Other entry on http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/bug_report.html

discovery of the 10th-largest known prime

 Dr John Cosgrave made the discovery at St Patrick's
 College, Drumcondra, Dublin, while running special
 software on over 40 college computers for two months
 during the summer break.

lovely ... pentium only software :(   in fact windoze ONLY software :-E

 More importantly, it is a factor of the astronomically
 large Fermat number F 382247, making the latter the
 largest known composite (non-prime) Fermat number.

F 382247 would be 2^382247 + 1 ?  divisible by the new prime 3*2^382449+1, 115130 digits

Heh heh >;)
I was a very small scout I think when they were our leaders.

Let's see ...... well I did capsize the cadet one time in November (COLD!)
Tony Murphy was in a bigger boat (not the BP? maybe the BP).
And I traumatised Breffni Allen (breffnia@hotmail.com I think - my
brother Bill knows him nowadays) before we managed to get ashore.
Hope he's not put off sailing for life!  The collection of implements
we had to bail with was pathetic - someones shoe mostly - a good education
in why being well equipped is important.

Although maybe it would be better to start with stories which emphasize less
the cold, wet and danger of sea scouting! I think there was one time alright
we wre practicing our "nice rowing", Micky Murphy was cox, and we met some
Navy guys .... who we managed to beat in a race.    this would be a much more
heroic (and safer) kind of story.

I'll write up my memoirs and send you something  :)

Here's one of my favourite recipies for:

A GOOD NIGHT OUT

1) Drink 1 pint cider - mix with contents of stomach while talking with
nearest + dearest (and your friends too)

2) Drink 3 pints cider, mix with 1 above, start to slur words (very
important).

3) Drink 1 pint cider, go to club, wiggle ass on tha' dance floor A
LOT!!!!!!!

4) From here on in, it's rather important to drink a fair bit of water as
well, say, half again as much drink as you emmmmm...drink.

5) Drink more

6) Drink more

7) By this stage you're probably so drunk that you'll "forget" to drink
enough water, it's your head'll be aching in the morning I
suppose..........THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8) .................!!

9) Make sure you each something fibrous before you go to bed, else you'll
feel like dying in the morning.

10) Wake up AND SUFFER.  Serves you right for not paying attention! :  )

Just in case anyone gets misled by this analogy,
it's _not_ what I suggested.  sendmail never _reads_
stuff from /var/spool/mail.  It just delivers there.  We stop
sendmail on the target host to prevent it from delivering
a message /var/spool/mail/USER at the same time as
we do cat /..../USER-old >> /var/spool/mail/user.  That
would cause mailbox corruption and message loss.

And your description of step 2 is wrong.  If you copy
oldhost:/var/spool/mail/user to newhost:/var/spool/mail/user
you'll lose any mail already delivered to user on newhost
and not yet picked up by his mail reader.

Users get really upset when they lose mail, so always
be very careful when doing stuff like this.

Incidentically, Richard solved this problem in his case by
simply using his mail reader to 'bounce' the messages to
the new host.  And that's exactly how you should do it if
you are a non-root user.  However, I assumed that he
needed to transfer the mail for many users.

JAMES: ow, I did apologise in advance there ... y'know.
       You just didn't like the bit about the diapers, right?

Yup .. an 18 carat gold ring with a .63 carat diamond .. I got a thump when I
asked why it wasn't a full carat! It's quite nice, I don't think I'd have

Ciao Lucia,

  Ik heb jouw cartje fur mij vandaag nu. Veel mooi! Grote bedankt.
  Ik proberen mij Nederlands elke dag en ik hoop dat het is niet zo
  erg fur je te begript. Maar serieus, ik denk dat ik wil sprek in
  Engels in de toekomst, goed?

  We hebben gebak nu maar Maandag was de verjaardag van Pierre, Roland
  en mij! En maandag was ik veel in de vas met geen ruist. Ik was in
  Boston met werk. Leuk ne?

  Well, come stai? I sto bene?  (and I will write to you in English soon)

ciao ciao,

James.

Adele: uhhh ...

James: Shhhhh. Stay asleep. :-D
       oop :-o  OW!   No thwapping with mouse-mats allowed!

Adele: I've missed something here, haven't I?

James: I dunno, nothing much more than the others didn't miss too?

Adele: What are u going on about?

James: Several unrelated Kwatch-kopfh things.

Adele: What plant?

James: Lots of plants.
       Beurenclau  (or something like that)  (magic/giant rhubarb) to us
       Irish folk is a plant.
       So are the rhodedendrons I'm unsuccessfully converting to pink in
       vinegar (they tend to die of overdoses).
       And of course there's lots of other interesting shrubbery round here.
       But I think I was talking about a factory-type plant for making beer,
       special beer, with Hydrogen!

Adele: and who's this Fionn type girl?

James: Oh ....    O :-)

Adele: The weather here is actually nifty, it's been sunny for the
       last week and while I haven't got a tan ... I'm not quite blue either.

James: Not blue? Me too.
       Sun is shining but I'm not gonna start rhyming.
       'cos.

Adele: Oh yeah (completely distracted by shitty weekend!) both Colm
       and I got offered the job in Barbados. We are currently waiting on a
       contract to determine what incentives they're offering to make us
       travel halfway across the globe.

James: Barbados is in Carribean right? - nice hot place far faaar away.
       So if you've both been offered does that mean only one of you gets to
       go or both of you together?
       Is it the same sort of work or is it more banking or internety or
       businessy or something?

Adele: Oh yeah ... your subject line bears NO relevance to the
       contents of the mail ... should I be surprised??

James: I object!   It's unusual appearance and connotations set the
       tone for a perfectly slightly confusing message.

James: bye bye.

Good reading in diaries sometimes

Risotto is yummy.

Cellphones or cars ... I wonder which kills more?

The biggest killer ... phones, TVs, hair dryers, ?

It's NOT a flawed argument

Can I correct myself? Okay, it IS a flawed argument

We nearly weren't confused about use cases?

	no typedef	typedef
	struct structTag { int data; struct structTag *next; } structInstance;	typedef struct structTag { int data; structAlias *next; // this won't work?! need to use structTag } structAlias;
	struct structTag structInstance2;	structAlias structInstance;

comments	structTag may be the same as structAlias, if structTag is omitted it's called an anonymous struct	Do not need to say "struct structTag si, sp;" "structAlias si, sp;" is sufficient.
