Either the world is coming to an end, or people are actually waking up.
Today, we have enabled our (the) first peering session on the island, which should improve traffic a lot. No more packets going back and forth to the US :) At least, for that one ISP. Hopefully the others will follow soon :)
I’ve had a little weather-show-plugin enabled since forever almost. Recently, though, I noticed my blog wasn’t loading as quick as I’d expect. After a little investigation together with Habbie we figured it might be the WeatherIcon plugin. And, it was. Solved by installing the most recent version, which has more configuration options as a bonus [...]
Today I did some interconnect tests with Global Crossing. After a little exchange of information and configuring, we were able to make some successful testcalls from here to the US and back. Fortunately, this will help speeding up $project in the near future ;)
Yay for a competent and clueful test team :)
Fiddling with some themes. You have been warned for any damage done ;)
Yesterday, one of our larger basestations decided to give issues. It wouldn’t respond to arp requests, or ping. When I added a static arp entry, it replied with a bunch of DUPs. But still, the thing was unmanageble. Service was not really affected though, since packets were forwarded just like it should. Troubleshooting is a [...]
Finally a weekend together with Soosh again.. Since she works in shifts, we regularly don’t have a full weekend together. But now, we did, and it was fun ;)
In other news, I’ve made up my mind (see previous post), let’s see where it goes from there.
.. must be made. Hopefully I’ll make up my mind soon enough.
But first, talking to $person, hoping he’ll clarify things a bit more.
And yes, that’s pretty vague. :)
Well, just a short one for today. First, I got an issue assigned by the helpdesk, stating that one of our corporate customers complained about their internet connection. According to them, it was terribly slow. It took me (and the support agent who basically asked to confirm) about 3 seconds to figure; they were simply [...]
Finally, after a long wait and a long evening of aiming my dish, I now have TV. With shitloads of channels :)
Thanks to my colleagues who basically did all the hard work, including patiently turning the dish back and forth until we got a signal!
Today we went to check out some of our locations, existing and possible new ones. Including the top of the Plaza Hotel. It’s located directly in the ‘center’ of the city, which is pretty good to put up a basestation. Anyway. We entered the building, and it basically looked like a dump, as if noone [...]
