"drill rods" in Poetry Magazine

Hi everyone, I just joined this message board in pursuit of
a mystery.

I'm a computer programmer who's into poetry. (I also happen
to be a RDJ fan, but that's not relevant.) So when I saw the
line "How do you patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?" in this month's
issue of Poetry Magazine, it really jumped out at me.

Googling the phrase, the only result was a thread on your
board:
http://xltronic.com/mb/120384/i-have-a-question-to-autechre

What's up with that? In case you don't know, Poetry Magazine
is one of the foremost journals for English poetry.

Looking through drill rods' posting history, I doubt that
they are either the original Russian author of the poem, or
the translator being published in the journal. Is drill rods
being "sampled"? Does anyone know how to reach them?

Oh yeah, here's an image of the line in the poem:

i should also note, that might be ruined if you view it on a
mac. ironic how they strip font personality, now, given
apple's role in the rise of digital fonts in general

it's an old net joke in the Russosphere to ask that question
in inappropriate contexts
