Shell Indeed.
128k of beauty and power. Hopefully soon to be 1.5/512 or something like that.

Want a shell, know what you're doing?
Send me a desired name/password to noweb4u@mainframe.timmins.net.
w00t.

what a crazy day. Still no shower repair after 3 weeks. This will reinforce the "breach of contract" legal threat I plan to make to break the lease here. Fuck them.
Still no workbench. Fucking Allegiance Telecom. Learn to use your fucking network asswipes.

Ahh well. All is well otherwise. I'm queuing over 2000 messages that are waiting for workbench to come back up. Fucking A. That thing is just going to die when I dump everything on it.

hey, sorry about the delays on any replies. my main mailserver is down. :-< For workbench users, here's the info:

yes, trace to it, ALGX has fucked up their routes again for all of michigan… no ETR time from them… quote "we're working on it"… total assholes.

:-/

Anyway, I reloaded my internal router/firewall that will be external when I get DSL soon (hopefully). blah. It's linux now, and it doesn't randomly crash like openbsd did. w00t.

Becky made an awesome lunch today. it was leet.

Doing a little research, I found why my nextel phone screws with everything.
Its transmitter is almost twice as powerful as my 8260, and that is when the 8260 is running at full power, which it often isnt.
The nextel operates at 0.744 watts in the 806Mhz to 821Mhz band.
The nokia operates at a maximum of 0.132 watts in the 824mhz-849mhz band, and 0.437 watts in the 1850mhz-1910mhz band.

God, I gotta keep this thing away from my nuts. 😉

ARLS006 AMSAT-OSCAR 7 returns to life

The AMSAT-OSCAR 7 satellite suddenly has come back to life after
being dormant for more than 20 years. First heard June 21 by Pat
Gowan, G3IOR, AO-7 subsequently has been monitored and used by
several other amateurs. AO-7 was launched November 15, 1974. It
remained operational for more than six years before succumbing to
battery failure in 1981.

"I'm blown away," was the reaction of AO-7 Project Manager Jan King,
W3GEY. "So, this old war horse of a spacecraft seems to have come
back from the dead if only for a few moments."

Exclaimed satellite enthusiast and AMSAT Vice President for User
Services Bruce Paige, KK5DO, "This is really awesome." Paige said
the latest turn of events makes AO-7 is the oldest amateur satellite
that's still working. AMSAT-NA has now listed AO-7 as
"semi-operational."

AMSAT says it seems certain the satellite is running only off its
solar panels, not from the onboard batteries, so it will be
operational only while it's in sunlight. King speculates that the
batteries, which shorted as they failed two decades ago, now are
"un-shorting" and causing the satellite to come back to life.

2 questions:

• One, why the hell is someone on attbi mail flooding me? I've recieved probably 100 virus infected emails in the past 12 hours from an attbi user "pkothera". ugh. Someone stop this crap. Hopefully their abuse team will handle it.
• Two, why is ATTBI's abuse team only open from 8am mountain time to 5pm mountain time? What's with that? Who attacks during those time periods? AT&T, you're friggin stupid.
