@hildred - can you come in here for a sec?

5:11 AM

@slm, yo

@hildred - Saw you voted to reopen the Q I marked as a dup, where we at with those Q's?

making sure I have things correct

One is about unicode, one is about color, one is about sequence. Color is dependant on escape which is a non printing character and disallowed by spec, unicode is allowed by spec but not by openssh and the other is about printing the issue before the username prompt and has nothing to do with the other.

There's this Q: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/76184/colorful-ssh-banner which I have dupped into this one now: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/109038/….

let's shore up this Q then so it's more obvious about unicode: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/109038/…

Can you edit w/o changing it heavily so that it expresses the unicode element a bit more?

@hildred ^^^

give me a couple ...

thanks

The correct A'er then to the color is it's not possible, by design

5:21 AM

correct.

edit is up if you want to proff it.

Q: What are some methods I can use to create colorful MOTD messages when logging in?

already did, thanks for pointing this out!

looks good!

I'll get terdon to move his A'er off that Q as well.

I made a new home for them here

From time to time I've come across colorful ASCII art styled messages when logging into a server. How are these messages constructed?

cool, looks good.

@Braiam In the DR? I don't know how unusual that is, but it sounds bad.

Hi @slm. What's happening?

@FaheemMitha - hey. Not too much. Been swamped w/ work

still in the process of relocating to NC area

@slm oh. The latest new job?

5:31 AM

taking longer than I imagined

same job since March

@slm The relocation?

moving to NC

@slm Ok.

my new job is in the Raleigh area

Yes, moves are a pain.

@slm Where will you be living?

5:32 AM

we have an opening

shopping for a house now

prob. end up in the apex area

@slm oh. Not Raleigh itself? Who is the job with, again?

Teradata

@slm ok

mainly work with OpenStack, Hadoop, HBase, etc.

I see.

5:35 AM

good work, if you know anyone in the area, we have an opening for a ops position.

@slm ok.

use all the latest buzz words 8-)

What is ops?

I used to know people there. But mostly academics. And not with the kind of skills you are talking about. Is it hard to find people in that area? Just curious.

our group is called devops we work w/in those 2 spaces, not thrilled w/ that term since it doesn't really desc. a type of work (IMO) it's a way to work.

There's quite a bit of competition for ppl

@slm Ok, I see.

5:36 AM

b/w RH, SAS, Cisco, etc.

we work w/ the devs. ~50% of the time and with sustaining + production the other 50%

@slm Yes, I see.

also looking for Java devs too

@slm hope to see you around more often, once things settle down.

So currently you are working remotely?

yeah that's been my goal. I loaded a bunch of Q&A that I've been working on tonight. Have a bunch of openstack related Q&A that been meaning to maybe add here

no I'm down here staying w/ family

We had several overlapping sprints and so I've been extremely busy the last few months

@slm You're in NC right now? How is it?

5:40 AM

HOT

not used to 90+ weather

getting used to it

but it's still super hot to me

@slm I see. Yes, NC summers are warm.

also got to see all the fuss w/ the pollen

But at least you have AC. Are you an outdoors type person?

it looked like it snowed a couple of times everything was all yellow

@slm fuss? You mean allergies?

5:42 AM

I like being outside, but not when it's super hot

just how it dumps yellow all over everything
