[FaDChatThu06]Meese Robbed - Nobel Prizes go to others

[Twinkletoes]

It is with astonishment we read that the TIMO FaD team's favourite illegitimate son, the immortal Meese, has again been ignored by the Nobel Committee. Both the Physics and Chemistry prizes have been awarded to comparative charlatans! We can only hope that when it comes to the Medicine, Literature - or even Peace - awards the Committee will see the error of its ways, and give our hero the recognition he so richly deserves.

Watch this thread for further developments...

Good Morning!

Mornin', D!


Good afternoon, Seotelkniwt!

Hiya TRB!

[darkheart]

...I keep trying to get permission from boom! to build a herd, but she keep saying something about I have too much computer [fecal matter] around the house already...

Ever thought about "headless crunchers"? OK, I know that apart from you and I (and TRB and Darkheart and Nunya and Caro), we have a lot of headless crunchers around here, but I meant machines running without monitors. Women tend not to notice metal boxes lying around the place: what they do notice though is monitors, no doubt because monitors look like shop windows, and the dear ladies get all confused and upset when there are no dresses or price tags to study. No, that's the way to go: set up a couple of headless crunchers!

[Detritus]

Hey!

Caro I like the pic in your profile much better then the old one

How do you know when it inevitably crashes then?

[Twinkletoes]

The headless machine is on my LAN and I use a programme called TightVNC which means that I can control it from my main machine: I get the screen (which doesn't exist because there is no monitor) up on this screen here. I also run a programme called FaDSpy to tell me whether FaD is running or not. (If FaD isn't running I deedoooce that the machine isn't either.)

There's a very good tutorial at FaD telling you how to set up a headless machine. Lemme go and find it...BRB



There you go:

Setting Up a Headless Cruncher

Quick as a flash! Now you see why they call me twinkletoes.

Awesome, you are going to make me hunt up some discarded PC's now...

[Twinkletoes]

Hey Detritus - ignore all the building stuff at the start of that tutorial...skip straight to Section 13 for the running headless bit !!!


Now I gotta go out in the garden and throw some leaves around so that wife thinks I've been working hard out there all day!!!

[caro]

Charming I must say

[meese]

Nobel Peace Prize? I'm lucky if I get a prize from a box of Captain Crunch... and if I do I have to steal it from my kids.

Although I'm sure the committee, and the World not doubt, would benefit from my enhanced analytical views on Peace, Medicine and the such.

[Vagabond]

well meese I voted for ya......


wait or was that for the Darwin Awards..


I just can not remember....


But the key here is that I voted for ya

[cmptrgydv]

Do you guy's (and ladies) have to be so loud,
I’m on vacation here!
You sound like a busted chain saw,

What’s all the noise about any way,

What’s this I hear about meese not getting any booby prizes,
Must have been a booby trap,

Oh no now look what happened, you’ve woke up my two floatation devises,
Now I have to go take her out for breakfast,

TT
I like UltraVNC better. But of course I use it everyday tweaking and working on my 70 network machines.
UltraVNC has better screen scaling for those machines, I have 30% of my users that refuse to go higher than 800x600. and I have my screen set up for 1280x1024 so need to say nothing ever fits, but UltraVNC works great.

...UltraVNC has better screen scaling for those machines...

The screen scaling is OK on TightVNC, just that you have to set the values every time if you're intending to fiddle around.

How difficult is UltraVNC to set up for the average 3-thumbed tongue-chewing non-techie...er...I'm thinking of Detritus here naturally...

Hey, I am a techie sort of, only been hanging out here since Jan 2002, that gives me almost 4 years under my belt, and less then 1600 posts... doesn't seem right does it. Well, I have upwards of 5000 in the community...
