in reply to can you seek() on STDIN

Yes, there is a way to do this.

See my (bad) hack for it at Re (tilly) 1: How to preserve the value of STDIN.

Incidentally this is my 3000'th post. Perhaps I should do something special, but the above post is pretty characteristic for me, so I decided to let it stand.

Besides, with my AM posts, I passed 3000 ages ago, so I consider the old post odometer pretty much broken anyways...

Re^2: node counting (can you seek() on STDIN)

    Actually, it isn't even your 3000'th non-anonymous node.

    tilly's write-up count should be corrected from 3000 to 3016 (3008+8)
    so go to user settings and click submit/stumbit if you want to wipe out the latest affect of the node cache race conditions (and perhaps some bugs that were fixed long ago in your case).

    Just one more reason to not bother trying to post (annoying) "milestone" nodes. (:
