In my never ending quest to know everything there is to know about Unix system programming, I learned something new today: man ptmx(4) for the gory details.

  2. Terminals…
    Nice…
    An old idea of mine was to turn screen(1) into a library, so that you can embed terminals in your curses application, and be able to (for example) run vi in a window of your mutt. Never got around to it, though.

  3. You’ve caught a pretty tough draw but you may still make it through…
    Champion’s League
    GROUP C
    Bayern Munich (Germany)
    Juventus (Italy)
    Ajax Amsterdam (Holland)
    Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel)
    Could have been worse, could have drawn Group D with Manchester United 🙂

    • Oh wait a minute, you’re Maccabi Haifa
      Strike that. You probably HATE Maccabi Tel Aviv even though they are neighbors.
      LOL
