It is hard to give details
When something fails
When you don't have the time
To find a suitable rhyme
My friend janay had this to say:
It tells me you aren't logged on today.
That is wrong because
I surely was.
[Translation: I was sitting right next to her, and on grex and it todl
her that giry wasn't logged on, she tried it with another friend also with
the same result.]

Then I guess I am your man;
You ran something from PicoSpan.
The process ran until its end
And its status tried to send.
But PicoSpan had been exec'ed
And thus has your composure wrecked
For when it got its signal due
The reason why, it had no clue.

<birdy sings Copacabana for whomever requested it>
Her name was Lola.
She was a showgirl.
Yellow ribbons in her hair
and a dress cut down to there.
That's all I know. =)

Very much so of late.

If Grex's load average doth remain high
I think I shall break down and cry

12:43am up 4 days, 9:43, 51 users, load average: 8.88, 8.23, 8.58
For 51 users, that load average is big
My computer is surely not doing a jig.

Is it me or is it grex?
I can't see all the text,
When browsing in the agora,
Of the item list criteria.
Items one through fifteen have been seen
(It's all there is on the first screen),
But sixteen to nineteen roll right past,
Leaving items twenty to "OK:" at the last.
The humor item has disappeared.
(I thought that *that* was really weird.)
I entered "b" repeatedly,
But inbetweens I could not see.
Oh! Can viri and bacteria
Infect the cherished Agora?
(Suspiciously I note that "rhymes"
sounds a bit like the evil "Good Times."

Emulating fitz and cows
In agora I did browse.
Every item there was seen
Even "humor" in sixteen.
I'm not sure, but I would wager,
there's a problem with your pager.
It thinks your screen has twenty-four lines,
while I suspect you've less, or more lines,
and so the twenty-fifth gets eaten,
which is the line 16 has its seat in.
Go thou now and count thy lines, fitz
Find the number that thy screen fits.
If there' thirty-two,
the command to do:
"!stty rows 32".
That's as good as Unix gets.

Because when using poetry
Complaints and whining doth become
A bit easier on my tum'.

Each night this week, with telnet true,
I came to Grex, to read a conference, or two.
But I was always booted off, with no adieu.

Now the load

Logging on at nine
Is not quite so fine.
But my body doth protest
If I don't get enough rest.
So logging on at three
Will not work for me.
I'll stick with morning lag
It isn't such a drag.
A seasoned lag veteran can get through jams;
I will not give up, birdy I am.
