We had some more downtime yesterday as my DSL connection got 0wnz0r3d. Not by a script kiddie, but by an electrical storm--thankfully just a rainstorm and not thundersnow--and I fell off the 'net.
OK, something is horribly wrong here. I was watching TV (that's not what's horribly wrong) and there was a commercial (that's not what's horribly wrong either) and it reminded me that I'm paying $383 or something a month to lease a Dodge Neon. Got that? Well, this was a car commercial, about leasing another car. For $369 a month.
If you've got a ton of blogs and news sites you like to monitor for new content and you'd like a better way than visiting them all (maybe there are too many of them, or maybe they don't update as frequently as you'd like), check out Amphetadesk.
Some people have had problems accessing this site the past couple of weeks. I think we finally hunted down an answer (Thanks to Dan Bowman especially for his detective work). I ended up having to drop the MTU on my Web server down a little bit. That's easy enough to do--become root, then issue ifconfig eth0 mtu 1200 and you're golden, at least until the next power failure.
