Morning started off with miscellaneous restores and stuff, and getting things set up on avalon. Then I started deleting files from home directories that people didn't need anymore, and cleaned up 14GB of space. That script took forever to run though... In the afternoon got Virus scan up and running, which was nice. Then there was that crazy security vulnerability and the funny rap. Patching a bunch of servers is never fun. I think they should have recorded the rap so we could listen to it while patching servers. After work did nothing for a bit, and then poked with hosting stuff. I'm gonna try offloading my email to another VDS and see if the rest of the server becomes more responsive. Should be interesting to find out. Anyways, a couple of interesting links today. There's
What the Internet Is, which talks about the history and purpose of the Internet. How it isn't a thing, but more of a concept. The other link is
GSM 3G. Basically how the current GSM protocol is messed up and while IS-95 CDMA may not be the answer, the answer is definitely CDMA rather than TDMA and all the companies admit it.
