  • System is Down

    VSU email and web are down. I’ve been out of the office so I can only surmise that this is related to the Denial of Service attack on Wednesday evening. Very strange that there was a test attack around 3pm and then consistent bombardment starting at almost exactly 5:30 pm. Like the person knew that…

  • Validate VSU Web Authors Database

    Back to doing real work. Adding a validation extension to the “VSU Web Authors Database”. Should email us whenever someone adds a record and allow us to validate them. Hope to write or find one to mark a record as expired if the date is old. Of course, the owner of the record can extend…

  • Sleeping Giant

    This seems especially appropriate. Also, the terrorists should have reflected upon this beforehand. “We have awakened a sleeping giant and have instilled in him a terrible resolve”. –Japanese Imperial Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor. – – – – – Cute… How Osama bin Laden Works curtesy of How Stuff Works. – – – –…

  • Roadkill on the Information Superhighway

    Lots of stuff on which to play catchup. Have some typos and misused words in the Interactive Map, need to get some stuff going on the Student Affairs web site, and help out Dicky on the Judicial Affairs site. – – – – – Have you seen/met the roadkill on the Information Superhighway? – – – – –…

  • Solaris Box

    Got a Sun Ultra 10 box at work. Very sweet. Plan to do some prototyping and play with all kinds of UNIX stuff. Going to be a fun weekend. NOTHING work related! See ya,

  • IE6

    Got one of these at work… P4 1.3 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB hard drive. Hoping to get an internal CD-RW for it. Will have to attach the SCSI scanner and USB Zip to it. Prolly will have to rebuild from scratch again. Means I will have to wait until things settle down. Problems with…

  • Kewl layout at the technorigami pita. Formatting the hard drive, creating partitions, and installing Windows 2k!!! Woohoo! If you actually understood that let me know by leaving a comment. Kewl… up and running on the new machine. Happy now. Time to go home. Lacey has moved cities and now sites. She can’t keep anything too static otherwise…

  • CampusPipeline More Stable?

    2 possibilities: CP 2.2.1 is more stable than 2.1.1 or Joe has been hiding the crashes. Hopefully the former. 2.1.1 rarely made it over 2 weeks without at least 1 crash. 2.2.1 has gone at least 2 weeks so far. There is another “helpful” virus on the scene…TROJ_ALLGRO.A. This one sends and attachment tells you it…

  • Forgot…

    SSH Shell closed? Nope… now check.
