Blink

The flower_cat didn't sleep very well last night, so neither did I. May do the "top 100 songs" meme after all; I initially looked at the year I graduated college and only found a handful I so much as recognized. Must have been listening to more radio in high school, or maybe it was the "oldies" station that the Cat liked to listen to when we were first living together.

System administration note

If you want to put a firewall on an NIS (Sun "Yellow Pages") server, you have to start ypserv with an explicit port number -- otherwise it just picks one at random! What were they thinking? Has anybody hit Sun with a clue-by-four yet?
