I will survive!
>Ok, so I was a little paranoid about the y2k changeover. So far so good. Let me know if you see anything odd.

fscking disk drive!
Sorry for any trouble people experienced with my system yesterday (Dec 14, 1999). My disk decided that /usr/lib should be a block device and not a directory. Luck for me, I had a recent backup to restore from.

DoughCam Out of Order
That's right. The 486 I was running it broke down, and I don't care enough to fix it.

The Mailman Arrives
I've successfully installed a mailing list program and I love it! I'm now running "Mailman". If you need a list hosted, ask me nicely. ;)

Lightning Strikes
Last night at around 6pm, lightning struck the tree next to my apartment. Power went out, and the system went down. Power returned at 3am this morning. When I got my ass out of bed at around 7am the system came right back up (after some really scary fscks). If there are any important files that you need missing, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Search and Ye Shall Find...
Thanks to Atomz.com's free search. You can now find what you are looking for on doughnut.net. I'm still playing with it, but the search box should be on at least the front page from now on. Let me know what you think of it.

The Incredible DoughCam!

Ok, I've got the DoughCam online now. It's a QuickCam in my living room. Don't expect any sex. Don't expect any nudity. In fact don't expect anything exciting at all. It'll mostly be me staring at my monitor.

Thanks to Matt for inspiring me with his cam!

Those Wacky IPs
Sorry for any trouble you may have had connecting Wednesday (June 23) between 2:15 and 6pm. Teleport decided to change my ip address. I should be set up with an 'official' static ip address soon. Thanks to Christian in tech support for being so helpful.

New Orleans Photos
I've actually had the Photos' page up for a couple days now, but I hadn't gotten around to linking to them from anywhere. So, here they are: The New Orleans Vacation Photos!

Telnetd security
I've made telnet a little more strict in light of our recent visit by a friendly hacker. From now on, telnet will only allow access from an approved host (i.e. *.teleport.com). If you are unsure if any of the hosts from which you connect are on my list, drop me an email with any hosts you use.

identd is running
Most people won't notice any difference here, but those who use irc may notice that they get refused by less servers.

identd is a program that implements the RFC1413 identification server. identd operates by looking up specific TCP/IP connections and returning the user name of the process owning the connection.

I've been hacked!
Looks like doughnut.net got hacked Jan 23 16:33:32. I don't have plans to turn this person in unless I find something malicious done to my system. I do however have their IP address, and I've collected a lot of clues. I have reason to believe that they did _not_ get anyone's password. I'd like all users change them anyway. The hacker _did_ get root access, and therefore had access to any of your files (including mail). I apologize for this.

I'm back up.
I'm back up. Teleport dropped all of its DSL customers late yesterday afternoon. Rumor has it the UPS on the DHCP server for DSL failed. None of us could log on and check Teleport's status page, so I waited on hold for tech support for ever until I was told what was going on. The support guys I talked to, Ryan and Ashley(?), were very polite.
