Info on capturing remote node's address...
echo $REMOTE_IPADDR;
But, does anyone know what the newest variables are to capture remote_host, remote_addr, etc...?
I tried the following from a book dated 5 years ago and well, you know how fast the technology stuff changes:
$remote_address = $ENV('REMOTE_ADDR');
$remote_host = $ENV('REMOTE_HOST');
print "IP is: ",$remote_address,"\n";
and the error message I'm receiving is:
Error message:
Global symbol "$remote_address" requires explicit package name
Anyone know of a simpler way to capture the ip address and host name?

Douglas Quenqua | July 13, 2011 | Comments
A whiff of opportunity for RedBox and other rivals, but none have yet seized it.
Netflix customers mounted a collective freakout on Tuesday after the movie-rental company announced it will raise prices without any corresponding improvement in services.
As of Sept. 1, Netflix will split its streaming and DVD services, charging $7.99 a month for each, as opposed to $9.99 for both services bundled.
Judgment was swift and brutal. Comments on the Netflix blog quickly maxed out at 5,000, most of them angry and many threatening cancellation. The scene on Netflix's Facebook page was even worse: As of Wednesday afternoon, the status update announcing the price change had amassed more than 41,700 comments, and continued to add more at the rate of about 15 a minute. (On the plus side for Netflix, about 830 people "liked" the status.)
But Netflix's backlash could be RedBox's windfall. The company behind the DVD vending machines leapt to #17 on Google Trends on Wednesday (among the related search terms was "Netflix price increase 2011.") Hulu and Blockbuster Express showed gains as well.
RedBox, which is owned by Coinstar, was also mentioned frequently by commenters on Netflix's own blog: 65 times in the first 400 comments alone, mostly threats to begin using the vending machines instead of signing up for the altered Netflix services.
Angry Netflix customers vented on Twitter as well, amassing around the hashtag #DearNetflix, which was a top-10 trending topic in the U.S. throughout the day on Wednesday.
"This is ridiculous!" wrote one early commenter on the Netflix blog. "At the very least, we'll be going to streaming only after this epic failure of a decision. We typically only receive 1 or 2 DVDs a month as it is. That is NOT worth an additional $10 a month. Guess I'll be using Redbox from now on for my current release fixes."
Fueling anger over the price change was the perception among customers that the Netflix DVD library served as a necessary back-up service to its streaming library, which is relatively small. By offering the two as a bundled service, Netflix allowed customers to easily order the DVDs for movies that it didn't stream.
But by forcing customers to choose one service - or pay an extra $6 a month for both - Netflix left many customers eager to test out less expensive options.
RedBox has so far remained silent about the Netflix price increase. But the company does show signs of wanting to capitalize on it. An e-mail seeking comment from the company yielded a long list of prices and promotions. A similar e-mail to Blockbuster was not returned.

Two topics: Bulk add accounts. Intranet and Internet on one box?
Hello list,
I've got csv files with names, user IDs, passwords. Also have existing Linux accounts.
I use a script that pushes out passwd, group, shadow and smbpasswd from one our servers to the the other four. I'd like to sync up this server too!
One of my goals here is to provide "closed" email and web sites to to our students.
The idea is the student web sites would only be viewable on the LAN. Approved sites could then be rsynced to an Internet enabled site.
email would be LAN only but with web interface that would allow access to the local email off campus. but not be able to send or recieve to the world at large. This would also give the students the ability to transfer files to and from home.
all email would be in one name space ie.
Student web sites would be
Approved web sites would be
Do you think I'm picking the right tool to build this on, is this feasable with ISPconfig?
I could set up two servers, one for the Internet and one for the Intranet but I was thinking with two nics and creative use of IP chains this could built on one server.

Equitrans Announces 'Allegheny Valley Connector' Open Season
EQT Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: EQM), an EQT Corporation company, and its subsidiary Equitrans, LP, today announced the commencement of a non-binding open season to gauge customer interest in securing firm transmission and storage capacity on what will be known as the "Allegheny Valley Connector."
The Allegheny Valley Connector consists of transmission and storage assets that are expected to transfer to EQT Corporation as part of a proposed transaction with Peoples Natural Gas Company LLC (Peoples). This proposed transaction is currently pending regulatory approvals, which are anticipated by year-end 2013. Upon closing of the transaction, the Allegheny Valley Connector is expected to be operated by Equitrans and owned by EQT Corporation, and is not projected to have a positive or negative affect on EQT Midstream Partners' distributable cash flow.
The Allegheny Valley Connector is located in the Marcellus Shale region and its primary function is to store and transport natural gas to numerous Peoples' interconnects, including use by Peoples and other gas suppliers to provide local distribution service to Peoples' customers. Results from the open season will determine any additional capacity and/or specific system modifications that may be required. The final design and scope of such modifications is expected to be at Equitrans' discretion and subject to negotiations with interested shippers.
Parties interested in: a) storage; b) Peoples' interconnects; and/or, c) new downstream interconnects to markets via the Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, and Dominion Transmission, Inc. systems must submit a Service Request Form. The open season request forms, a map of Equitrans' current pipeline assets, and additional information on the Allegheny Valley Connector project are available at www.eqtmidstreampartners.com. Equitrans' open season runs February 27, 2013 through 12:00pm (ET) March 13, 2013.About EQT Midstream Partners: EQT Midstream Partners, LP is a growth-oriented limited partnership formed by EQT Corporation to own, operate, acquire and develop midstream assets in the Appalachian basin. The Partnership provides midstream services to EQT Corporation and third-party companies through two primary assets: the Equitrans Transmission and Storage System and the Equitrans Gathering System.

Pikkuhirttivaaran kylässä tapahtuu kummia: aution talon puutarhuri näkee outoa loimotusta päärakennuksesta ja menee tutkimaan asiaa. Hän kuuntelee raolleen jääneen oven takana, kun kaksi miestä punoo karmeita juonia. Silloin paikalle luikertelee jättiläiskäärme ja puutarhurin on astuttava huoneeseen - kauhein seurauksin.Samaan aikaan Harry Potter herää Likusteritiellä arvessaan tuntuvaan polttavaan kipuun...
Ennen neljännen kouluvuoden alkua Harry pääsee Weasleyn veljesten kanssa seuraamaan huispauksen maailmanmestaruuskisoja. Jännittävän ja yllätyksellisen loppuottelun jälkeen syntyy sekasortoa, kun taivaalle leimahtaa pimeän piirto ja kuolonsyöjät marssivat esiin. Keitä he ovat? Harryn neljäntenä kouluvuonna Tylypahkan koulussa järjestetään kolmivelhoturnajaiset, johon osallistuu oman koulun lisäksi kaksi muuta velhokoulua. Kustakin osallistujakoulusta valitaan ottelija kolmeen rohkeutta, taitoa ja ajattelua mittaavaan koetukseen, jotka voivat olla hyvinkin vaarallisia. Kolmen koulun nuoret velhot ja noidat seuraavat huimaa turnausta omia suosikkejaan kannattaen.Ottelupäivien välissä koulunkäynti jatkuu: taikaolentojen hoidossa tutustutaan räiskeperäisiin sisuliskoihin ja haiskuihin, uusi pimeyden voimilta suojautumisen opettaja Alastor Villisilmä Vauhkomieli herättää pelkoa ja ihastusta ja Sibylla Punurmio ennustaa Harrylle synkkää kohtaloa. Yksi kouluvuoden hurjimmista koetuksista on seuralaisen pyytäminen joulutanssiaisiin. Harrysta tuntuu, että kikattaminen pitäisi kieltää laissa...
Took a little longer to get through than I was expecting, but once I got to the last quarter I read a lot quicker.
Like to look out for all the little hints of things to come, it seems like each time I read these books I notice more little nods of things that become bigger in the future.
Found myself looking at Snape differently at the end of this book. Going to face Voldemort is a really big deal and I think I appreciate how much bravery that takes now.
Feel like I pay more attention to the more background characters rather than just the main trio now.
Review: The fourth of the series and reportedly the best. So much going on in this book. Harry is about 14 and finds himself participating in games meant for 17 y/o. Someone wants Harry dead. There is more magic and dangers. I enjoyed this but found myself struggling to pay attention. I think it was more a problem of life interfering than the book being dull. I think it also reflects the increase in activity in the book. The reader is still excellent.
First sentence: The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it 'the Riddle House', even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there.
Long Live Harry, etc.
Love the books more than I do the films.
Long Live Harry, etc.
Love the books more than I do the films.
The fourth book in the Harry Potter phenomenon, at 734 pages, is what you call a wallow—one that some will find wide-ranging, compellingly written, and absorbing; others, long, rambling, and tortuously fraught with adverbs.
The fantasy writer's job is to conduct the willing reader from mundanity to magic. This is a feat of which only a superior imagination is capable, and Rowling possesses such equipment.
As the midpoint in a projected seven-book series, "Goblet of Fire" is exactly the big, clever, vibrant, tremendously assured installment that gives shape and direction to the whole undertaking and still somehow preserves the material's enchanting innocence.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0439139597, Hardcover)In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling offers up equal parts danger and delight--and any number of dragons, house-elves, and death-defying challenges. Now 14, her orphan hero has only two more weeks with his Muggle relatives before returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yet one night a vision harrowing enough to make his lightning-bolt-shaped scar burn has Harry on edge and contacting his godfather-in-hiding, Sirius Black. Happily, the prospect of attending the season's premier sporting event, the Quidditch World Cup, is enough to make Harry momentarily forget that Lord Voldemort and his sinister familiars--the Death Eaters--are out for murder.
Readers, we will cast a giant invisibility cloak over any more plot and reveal only that You-Know-Who is very much after Harry and that this year there will be no Quidditch matches between Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Instead, Hogwarts will vie with two other magicians' schools, the stylish Beauxbatons and the icy Durmstrang, in a Triwizard Tournament. Those chosen to compete will undergo three supreme tests. Could Harry be one of the lucky contenders?
But Quidditch buffs need not go into mourning: we get our share of this great game at the World Cup. Attempting to go incognito as Muggles, 100,000 witches and wizards converge on a "nice deserted moor." As ever, Rowling magicks up the details that make her world so vivid, and so comic. Several spectators' tents, for instance, are entirely unquotidian. One is a minipalace, complete with live peacocks; another has three floors and multiple turrets. And the sports paraphernalia on offer includes rosettes "squealing the names of the players" as well as "tiny models of Firebolts that really flew, and collectible figures of famous players, which strolled across the palm of your hand, preening themselves." Needless to say, the two teams are decidedly different, down to their mascots. Bulgaria is supported by the beautiful veela, who instantly enchant everyone--including Ireland's supporters--over to their side. Until, that is, thousands of tiny cheerleaders engage in some pyrotechnics of their own: "The leprechauns had risen into the air again, and this time, they formed a giant hand, which was making a very rude sign indeed at the veela across the field."
Long before her fourth installment appeared, Rowling warned that it would be darker, and it's true that every exhilaration is equaled by a moment that has us fearing for Harry's life, the book's emotions running as deep as its dangers. Along the way, though, she conjures up such new characters as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, a Dark Wizard catcher who may or may not be getting paranoid in his old age, and Rita Skeeter, who beetles around Hogwarts in search of stories. (This Daily Prophet scoop artist has a Quick-Quotes Quill that turns even the most innocent assertion into tabloid innuendo.) And at her bedazzling close, Rowling leaves several plot strands open, awaiting book 5. This fan is ready to wager that the author herself is part veela--her pen her wand, her commitment to her world complete. (Ages 9 and older) --Kerry Fried
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:31:05 -0400)
Harry Potter, a fourth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, longs to escape his hateful relatives, the Dursleys, and live as a normal fourteen-year-old wizard, but what Harry does not yet realize is that he is not a normal wizard, and in his case, different can be deadly.… (more)

The Benchwarmers (2006)
Critics Consensus: A gross-out comedy that is more sophomoric than funny, The Benchwarmers goes down swinging.

For anyone who's ever been picked on, put down or pushed around, your heroes are here! Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) star as three older guys who know what it's like to be bullied.

Critic Reviews for The Benchwarmers
All Critics (74) | Top Critics (14) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (62) | DVD (13)
Just when the baseball slapstick starts wearing thin, a final-reel gush of truly cynical sentiment on behalf of the physically challenged sends the ordeal-factor off the scale.
It's hard to buy the movie as an underdog success story, since even the actors barely seem to exert themselves.
Like pretty much everything else bearing Happy Madison's name, The Benchwarmers kind of sucks.
The three losers play a series of Little League teams, snatching victory from the jaws of slapstick humiliation.
Schneider winds up playing straight man to Spade, who once again relies on his snarky coward shtick, and Heder, who comes across like someone doing a bad imitation of ... well, Heder himself in Napoleon Dynamite.
It's a movie packed with so many idiot characters that Rob Schneider is cast as the cool guy -- and sort of pulls it off.
Stupidity this epic can only be the deliberate work of cynical opportunists.
In the last line of the film, as the final credits thankfully disappear, Richie casually says "that was a waste of time wasn't it?" Yes. Definitely.
It doesn't take a genius to work out what's on offer: toilet humour, physical comedy, more toilet humour and an Americans-do-it-best schmaltzy climax.
...ultimately nothing more than a silly, egregiously sentimental comedy...
You won't know whether to roll your eyes or smile like a fool, but you will know you've been entertained.
...there was actually a small smattering of applause when the movie ended. Whether they were clapping for the film or just the fact that it was finally over will have to remain a mystery.
The Benchwarmers is better than it should have been. Only, that's not saying much.
Even Jon Lovitz with a Batmobile, a dwarf attack in a playroom, and David Spade's best wig ever can't save this mawkish misfire.
Unfunny, badly thought out and occasionally downright offensive, this is an extremely poor effort, even by the standards of other Rob Schneider movies.
Highbrow humour is not the film's strong point but there's no faulting the sincerity of this against-all-odds comedy.
This abysmally static comedy, the brainfart of 'the people who brought you Big Daddy' is a mess on every level %u2026 depressingly woeful.
Starring Schneider and Spade, whose careers have been circling the drain for years, and Heder, who won't be far behind them if he doesn't improve his career moves.
This comedy made me laugh exactly 3 times during its entire 80-minute run.
Only the reliably funny Jon Lovitz delivers his lines with any aplomb, providing just a few laughs in this otherwise horrid movie.
Believe it or not, The Benchwarmers is so lame that it can't even lay claim to being the best Adam Sandler-produced movie not screened for critics in 2006
An Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler, THE BENCHWARNERS offers the worst of all worlds.
There's a reason this comedy was not screened for critics. It strikes out, except at Pizza hut which must be thrilled with its product placements.
Audience Reviews for The Benchwarmers
It has its funny moments that'll leave you wondering how stupid they were to do those things, but the Benchwarmers is no home run. The plain gags and stupid humor are a double to get this film out of the game. 3/5More

The Benchwarmers had some minor laughs here and there, but as a memorable comedy it fails to stand out, and doesn't withstand multiple viewings. The comedy factor falls apart after awhile, and you realize how sloppily written this comedy is. The jokes are sometimes comical; however most of them fall flat. After awhile you realize that this comedy isn't what it's supposed to be, and that's a good comedy. Everything about this film is forgettable to say the least. I did laugh, but The Benchwarmers is a mediocre comedy with washed up comedians that are very, very hit and miss. Go into The Benchwarmers with an open mind, just so you won't be disappointed. I did, and though I laughed, I still felt that this film wasn't good. If you want a mindless forgettable comedy, then this is the film to watch. Don't expect anything truly great like Superbad or The Hangover, because you will be very disappointed. Nothing is ever accomplished with this film, and the end result is a film that struggles with trying to you laugh. The film could have worked, if the script was reworked slightly and the cast was better. This is the type of film worth watching only once. The film doesn't stand out, and it has minor laughs throughout, but never anything to really laugh out loud to. If you want to watch a great comedy, this isn't the one to watch. The Benchwarmers is a mediocre comedic outing, one that has limited potential that shows its flaws on-screen.More
