What is he on? Redhat 9 *arrg* all I could think of was a few of my previous rpm experiences and I just *hoped* that irssi wouldnt require anything that wasn&#8217;t already installed. Of course it did %) He asked if all distrobutions were this evil, and I told him about debian&#8217;s apt and that redhat now had one. Other than knowing that redhat&#8217;s apt existed and that it&#8217;s repository was quite small I knew nothing else. I found <a href=\"http:\/\/apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org\/\">this site<\/a> which gives a very basic overview of what apt-rpm is (works a lot like debian&#8217;s apt, with apt-get install, apt-cache search, even a sources.list file), and I suggested that he give it a shot. He wasn&#8217;t able to install irssi from apt-rpm, but he could install the libs he needed so that his irssi rpm would install properly %) yay! Another irssi convert!<\/p>\n<p>He was the perfect student too. I pointed him in the right direction and he did what needed to be done, only coming to me when there was a small problem or question he couldnt answer himself. He&#8217;s lucky he does this, I am so tired of people who come to me for help who aren&#8217;t willing to put any effort into it at all. I hate telling them that they just need to &#8220;RTFM&#8221; but it&#8217;s true, I&#8217;m not going to waste my time with someone who won&#8217;t even read a README %)<\/p>\n<p><lj-cut><br \/>\nclockbot.xelium.net was decommissioned last night *tear* we have r2q5.xelium.net up and running on a new box of course, but clockbot was the original, it&#8217;s a little sad %) farewell old server!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/skorpan\/skorpancute.jpg\" alt=\"Skorpan\" align=\"right\">I made a little section of my webpage about a friend&#8217;s cat Skorpan. He lives in Sweden, and is a very pretty Bengal Cat %) I have had exposure to Bengals in the past because the guy who gave us <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/MyImages\/pets\/Dweezel.jpg\">Dweezle<\/a> the chinchilla was a breeder. His cats were big (healthy looking and about 15 pounds), so I was really wowed by these cats! From him I knew they were pretty expensive, so I never really thought about them until I saw the pictures of Skorpan&#8230; he&#8217;s so pretty! And doesn&#8217;t shed much, and they are great indoor kitties. Oh and there is a breeder here in Philadelphia! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gangescattery.com\/\">GangesCattery.com<\/a>&#8230; they have an Online Kitten Application Form! Oh! &#8230; Not that I&#8217;m looking to get one *coughcough* at $500 each for pet quality (as opposed to one you wish to show) *wince* I do love kitties though %) Oh this is the page about Skorpan: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/skorpan.html\">Skorpan Page!<\/a>. I need to make a pretty page like this for Cargo.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s it. Allergies aren&#8217;t really bugging me today, yay! I think it was just the people cutting the grass that was driving my sinuses nuts. I am going to go figure out what I should make for dinner now. *wanders off*<\/p>\n<p><\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>o\/` Jack&#8217;s Lament &#8211; Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack o\/` A friend of mine asked me to help him install irssi this afternoon.
