How Yo Git PPP T'Wawk on Yer Linux Box
So these hyar is th' scripps thet ah used t'use. A bunch of varmints have used them successfully t'git PPP up an' runnin'... so mebbe they will he'p yer kin too... Th' fust thin' yo' hafta does is getcher serial po'ts runnin' real fine. Yer hankerin' t'lock th' po't at as high a speed as postible, an' turn hardware han'shakin' on, as enny fool kin plainly see. Yer Linux distro probably already comes wif an rc.serial o' sumpin like it thass helter-skelter at boottime. So yer hankerin' t'set it up wif similar comman's t'th' rc.serial file below. Tess th' modem wif minicom o' kermit. Eff'n spd_vhowdy-doo wont wawk, go fo' spd_howdy-doo (57.6kb). Note thet mah setup is fo' COM2 (cua1). Eff'n yer hankerin' these scripps t'wawk on COM1, change all occurrences of cua1 to cua0.
Next yo' need t'establish th' link t'yer ISP (ppp-on scripp). The scripp below gits pppd t'dial up yer service provider, helter-skelter chat, which will read chat scripp comman's outta /etc/ppp/dial-tlg, an' set th' default route. Couple of thin's t'note. Th' file wif mah chat scripp in it is called "dial-tlg" on account o' mah service provider used to be TLG (Th' Li'l Garden), which don't exist enny mo'e. ah doesn't do PPP ennymo'e (got DSL), so yo' kin change this hyar to be ennythin' yo' want (e.g, acco'din' t' th' code o' th' heells!: dial-yournerviceprovidersname). Secondly, th' lines below thet look like this:
define mah static IP number (140.174.170.1) an' mah gateway (204.156.128.1). These sh'd be changed t'yer IP an' yer gateway. Eff'n it's a dynamic PPP setup, yo' sh'd add in th' noipdefault comman', an' yo' sh'd change it so thet th' IP numbers is all zeros (o' leave them off). An' yo' will also probably need t'set yer netmask hyar (like 255.255.255.248 o' whutevah yer ISP give yo'), come t'reckon of it... So then th' line sh'd read (note thet yo' kin corntinue lines wif a backslash):
Okay, so hyar's mah old cresty scripp:
This hyar one turns off PPP... ah doesn't reckon ah evah modified it:
This hyar is th' chat scripp thet has all th' fineies in it, so yo' sh'd probably chmod it 600.
One other thin' is thet yo' need t'put th' domain name sarvers thet yer ISP gives yo' in resolve.conf t'git DNS t'wawk right. This hyar is whut mine looks like:
Eff'n yo' doesn't haf yer own domain, then eifer omit th' search line o' change truncheon.com, as enny fool kin plainly see, t'yer ISP's domain, as enny fool kin plainly see. Then, eff'n yer hankerin' t'keep th' PPP link up all th' time, add the follerin' into yer crontab:
OH! Fry mah hide!! Fry mah hide! an' eff'n yer hankerin' t'be able t'see all th' warnin' an' debuggin' messages, etc., put this hyar line in yer /etc/syslog.conf file. Yo' might be hankerin' t'do this hyar befo'e ennythin' else, acshully.
An' thet is th' way yo' getcher PPP machine t'wawk. Amen, as enny fool kin plainly see. |

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
