Network Outage
Posted by Magnus on 7 July 2001, 14:56 GMT
As many of you probably noticed, ticalc.org was hit with a network outage friday evening. Due to the bad timing of this (being a late friday evening, and also the time when the only person who could really get to things to check what was wrong (me) was on a flight home from TechEd in Barcelona), the network outage lasted for 15-16 hours. It has now been fixed. The problem was in the access router from Telia through which all the internet traffic goes.

I was just going to say the exact same thing. And to everybody who thinks I didn't do it, I didn't do it for publicity. I could care less if you don't believe me....Actually, it's better off you not believing me. It just makes my day a lot better knowing there are total idiots running the internet, and so called "criminals" who are network and computer geniuses. I may have gone off the deep end by doing the DDoS attack, but it was for my own sake. I was kicked off of these forums a hell of a long time ago for swearing once, so I finally came to the conclusion of destroying their connection to the net for a day or two. Only lasted a day tho... So, yeah, if you want to know who this is admins...it's Akromix.. Yup, it's good old me. I remember coming to this site when it was first up. When there was those green buttons on the left and said Ticalc.org at the top frame. I remember the good old days when everything was a-o-k.. Well, time fo sleep now.
Good luck, and god speed. BTW...fix your damned router jeeves... IT's damned easy to drop connections if you ping it enough.

Hey TICalc.org people, I know it's off-topic but I thought it would be very constructive...
Have you ever considered putting together a Perl script (or something to that effect) that automatically updated each author's page whenever it was visited? I find it a little strange sometimes to see myself ranked #53 for an entire day, only to come back an hour later and have 100 more downloads (without me knowing it was going on).
I just think it would be nice to have a real-time idea of how well we're doing on here.
Thanks!
