Not the Net

Posted on September 19, 2007 by Arthur

Apparently there was an high-speed outage this morning, lasting up to noon. Remarkably, the router was able to connect to my provider’s gateway plus it was (assigned) a correct IP address. Routing on the provider’s end, however, completely failed. I … Continue reading →

The TeleTube

Posted on September 16, 2007 by Arthur

My TubeTrek started with this thread on MetaFilter (which disappeared from the frontpage) with links to all the episodes of ‘Little Mosque On The Prairie’ (CBC, Wikipedia). It’s not an overly funny sitcom: it’s (at times) preachy and maybe this … Continue reading →

Your watermark file is b0rken

Posted on September 9, 2007 by Arthur

My wife noticed weird entries in the apache logs which seem to imply that there’s a cross-site security problem in a file called ‘watermark.php’. The thing is, that I have no idea which software package includes that file but it … Continue reading →

We reserve

Posted on September 8, 2007 by Arthur

We’re in the midst of a heat spell: today the temperatures went past the 30 degrees Celsius, making it a rather too hot day to run errands. We made it out to the mall though, but I didn’t happen to … Continue reading →

What, Eudora?

Posted on September 5, 2007 by Arthur
