Here's another Jan. 19th'er. She's a touch younger, but she might be your soul mate, T. Don't worry, no nudity.

Ekaterina 3239 is boxed up and ready to go. Because of customs delays she may be stuck at the dock for a few weeks, but they told me they would throw in some hamburger meat and chocolate.

Okay, from now on Tony-centric posts will not be comment-enabled.

I will not be censored! It also helps to be the admin of the server on which teamchandler.net resides. Don't make me chmod 744 this blog! The first person who can actually explain that last sentence gets 10 nerd points.

"chmod" is a way to set permissions for files and directories in a UNIX environment. Permissions are set according to the numbers in the command. Read = 4, write = 2 and execute = 1. So the "7" in your command means all of the above (the sum). The first number defines the permissions of the owner (that's you). The next two numbers are group and world, so since you've set them at "4" that means read only. Boo-yah.

Sorry for the ruckus, Chandler. Sometimes one forgets this site is viewed by your fam. and is intended for NGC's future reading.
