World: r3wp

yes, I have Ethereal, never checked on AltME yet ...

;Interesting every second the client send a request that looks like
cmd: live data:  [world-name binary64]
;and the server replies with this
cmd: lookup data: ok

In the case above the "client" is my private AltMe world server. 
So the traffic is being sent from my server to the nameserver every 
second. I guess is a way to keep the ownership of the free AltMe 
world names.

Enough hacking back to real work...

Thank you, and yes we did.  The error that happened today was fixed, 
and an additional check is now being made to prevent that from happening 
again in the future.


One thing I can clearly say is that each problem has been unique, 
and each time one happens (a severe failure) we stop everything and 
jump on it, and in addition to correcting the current problem, write 
code to prevent the same problem from happening in the future.


We have been down less than Live Journal, which has millions of people, 
and hundreds of servers for the same time period.  So we rock!

and you're modest too ;-)

Modesty is a disease, and it wastes time, and truncates communication, 
which are both ethical crimes.

heh.

Anyone here know anything about Kylix?

and I mean you have installed and used it.

for more than 30 minutes? No.

I still think the ip address should be cached in case the name server 
goes down .. if that was the problem.

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities

terry .. can you post these into the quotes channel instead ?  Or, 
I can rename this the quote2 channel!

Anyone tried the new MS Antispyware software.  Its pretty sweet.

Yes, see windows group .. I tried it a couple of weeks ago.

testing my new color

Ahh purdy

Graham, you may want to change the name of this group to All, but 
quotes.

I've generalised the exceptions

Well, then.. you best be getting over to the Blog Chat group and 
get on Anton's case.. I see a quote there that's obviously out of 
order.

I always wanted to be a traffic cop

oy. Talk about a crappy duty. Sorry, Graham ;-)

if you get a commission for every ticket ...

Yeah, that wouldn't be so bad.

I thought that traffic duties were going to be safer than policing.

The first time I tried policing .. someone broke my leg :(

yow

If i  paid $.02 for every time someone felt the need to criticize 
my $.02 worth, I'd owe AT LEAST a $1.50 by now.

Terry, I must admit, you do get 'dumped on' more than most.  I feel 
for you.

looking for qa new mobile phone and considering the SonyEricsson 
K700 or S700, does anybody have them? Or other good advice ;-)

Basically, I need a phone that can act as a simple mobile (read-only)

mmm ... bacon cheeseburger

lunch: get burger [bacon cheese]

diet: skip lunch 1

if empty? stomach [ loop [ pout ] ]

Then again, I could eat a little less of the monstrous cheeseburgers.

This job is reminding me more and more why "data is code is data" 
could be a good thing.

Then you will really love the concepts that Anvil is built on.

I might. Where's Anvil?

On my hard drive. ;-)

I'll be right over ;-)

A compile stage for web apps is just not right, anyhow.

... and there's a tiny addition to the REBOL content on my site. 
yay :-)

what's the best way of restarting a server application each night 
?  Use something like launch/quit .. between certain hours, but without 
setting some flag on the file system, how to ensure that it only 
happens once daily?

( encapped application )

If it's windows, I'd use Q.
