Exclamation This forum!

This forum is my far the most popular one on the site! Almost at 20 000 posts!

Looking at the postings for each car model, do you think this represents anything? If so, what?

Tim

came to the office @ 10:40 am, got nothing to do. read the "post your car picture if you really own one" thread, highly entertaining. Just finished lunch at 1:30 pm, oopps time just flies when you are having fun!

Hmmm, maybe I sneak out for a couple of hours to stop by a fish store and camera store...

Local time here is 00:33. Usually check this forum this time of day (night). But why the heavy traffic in this particular forum? Must be that we are the most social of all MB-owners :p

Haven't even had lunch yet (18:00) - too busy browsing the forum

Might be relocating to FtL'dale - heard we got bought by a Florida bank...just killing time waiting for the announcement. Looks like we'll be leaving from next to the World Trade Center for the second time...maybe only as far as New Jersey. Ah well, if things go bad, I'll post my resume on this forum: Have Coupe, will travel Gotta go get some lunch...

sounds like you C-Class guys got it made... I have it really rough.

us Z3 drivers have a month off work between jobs and all I have to do is finish 2 100-level classes before graduation in 4.5 weeks. I'm so abused.

(this post has been made especially for BOB)

You can use SSH port forwarding. Setup http proxy at your home box (Squid) and then forward port
3128 (default for squid) from your office box through SSH to that on home box. Then configure your browser to use proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 3128
I do this for personal mail (IMAP) and usenet news
(NNTP).

That sounds cool - I gotta try that. Does this mean you don't need an open firewall port for 3128 'cause it goes through the secure shell port? Neat.

If you have X windows on your FreeBSD box and the box you're SSHing from, you can use Netscape (or whatever browser there is) over SSH. Works well for me /* Well, it's Linux in my case */

Well, another reason I use lynx is because I work in a cube farm and it's easy for that lynx window to look like it belongs somewhere in the sea of gvim windows =)

hehe - talk about blending in. I hate using lynx, though, when configuring a nokia firewall appliance via the console...the screen redraw looks screwed up after a while, even using a good terminal app s. a. SecureCRT. But it comes in handy in situations where you need to keep a low profile.
