Random, attractive blonde has random ambitions about telnet server
 

OK, for starters, I'm not blonde. I'm also not attractive I've not got anything against blondes im just not blonde. Anyways I've just has a random ambition that I was to go back a few years and set up a telnet server. Something like that star wars thing or even better something useful. This is a RANDOM thing - I don't want to achieve anything productive. Just help me please. Also, I prefer you guys to google, ask jeeves or dogpile but i don't have anything against cheespile or ask cheeves - both currently under development by MEEE! anyone who wants to help can...

Also I haven't talked to anyone on Skype for a while so why not add me and we can have a conversation. I'm just feeling lonely: matt.t.ireland

I don't get the question, do you want help setting up a telnet server?

I've just read a few threads by OP's that were obviously not normally English-speaking. This gives me similar headaches. The last line, regarding Skype and you being lonely--got it, loud and clear. The rest just goes over my head or under the bridge or whereever the hell stuff goes. You're just joking around, correct? Tell me I've not lost what little sense I had...

Maybe you could download PHPBB and start a forum for nursery schoolers.

@DaWei: I tried. Nobody joined so after 2 months I gave up.

@kruptof: Yes basically, please. Sorry for being so long winded and rambling on so much.

@peace_of_mind: Yeh - you seem like a cool guy - add me! Oh and no your still here. It was my inefficient rambling - nobody ever understands it. My 3D game is much more organised than me...

It's already built into windows, all you have to do is enable the service, and I think you will find it under control panel -> administrative tools -> services.

Thanks. I'll give that a go. Might have a few questions about advanced stuff tommorrow if you don't mind?

Going to bed now though (on GMT+1) Thanks,

Matt. I

I would say he is on drugs or something, but the spelling isn't bad enough. He's probably on a sugar high.

With that said, why didn't you just Google it yourself? I haven't seen a post like this in a while.

He said, he prefers social interaction to that which a machine provides.

I understood perfectly what he wanted to do. Go back in time (ie: do something nostalgic) and set-up a telnet server that does something utterly useless.
His reference is to the Star Wars Telnet application which played Star Wars in ASCII:
telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl
(I can't get it to work at the moment, Possibly due to the firewall I am behind)

As for the thread title.. OP got your attention didn't he?

Read every one of Matt's posts, linearly, from the beginning.

This is supposed to be a technical forum, in which the lounge should play a minor part.

The fact that tain't so means that there are many Matt's here. The fact that they gather here for support does not mean that "here answers be found". It only means that there are fewer people to point out the ugly facts.

We have people here that jump from language to language and project to project like fleas on a hot iron griddle. They don't hang with any one thing until they develop even a novice's expertise. (They'll be back, though, on some future jump.)

The solutions proferred solve one or two particular problems, but don't contribute to the flea's understanding of the laws of thermodynamics. The next hot skillet is gonna get 'em once again.

Many of the problems, of course, like Matt's, have nothing to do with technical matters.
