RE: Google groups outage

2010-10-14 Thread Joe Johnson
My favorite is my Droid telling me I'm not driving on a road while on one of 
the biggest expressways in Chicago. Then, sometimes it decides to route me 
through Kansas to get somewhere less than a mile from my house.

 Google Groups is the most poor managed project in Google.  No one 
 really cares much about it inside Google (my view as an external 
 user).  Go try to find some of the older Usenet postings they imported
 years ago after they bought out Dejanews. You won't find much.   I've 
 reported bugs (search function, language search, etc.) over the past 3 
 years to them via their Groups forums and other means and basically 
 they all end up in dev/null.

This is true for many of Google's projects.  I believe it's an artifact of 
their 20% policy.  People are given work assignments on projects that Google 
wants improvements on, and then in 20% of their time they can work on projects 
of their own choosing.  I believe that many (most?) of Google's abandoned 
projects were 20% projects, and their supporters did the first 90%[1] then got 
bored (lazy) and moved on to something
new(er) and more exciting.  I'm pretty sure Orkut and Google Groups were both 
20% projects that have since been essentially abandoned.

And don't get me started on Android.  The mapping and navigation software on 
Android sucks so many different ways that I'm surprised that Google allowed it 
out into the real world, nevermind providing it on shipping products.  It's 
been this broken for over a year, so obviously there isn't anyone inside Google 
who cares to fix the obvious problems.  
Whoever it was that developed these aps to this 90% state, has moved on to some 
new(er) and more exciting 20% project.

 The amount of effort required to reclaim those few IPv4 addresses would

Maybe encourage people like Apple, Xerox, HP or Ford to migrate their 
operations completely to IPv6 and return their /8?

RE: Home CPE choice

2010-03-31 Thread Joe Johnson
I have a small HP dummy terminal I installed a CFIDE card in with m0n0wall that 
has run beautifully for the past 3 years. Barely has any power draw and cost me 
a whopping $100 after shipping. I keep a few of the dummy terminals around in 
case this one dies (it's about 6 years old and came from a heavy-use banking 
application).

 That is not entirely true. Many Cisco models arrive with a default

 seen were this way.

Ditto on that. Of about 12 ASA 5505s and 5510s I've deployed in the last year, 
only one didn't come with a private IP enabled and a public interface set to 
DHCP. The only one that didn't was running about a year behind in firmware, 
while the rest came pre-loaded with the latest.

Cogent Outage?

We just lost Cogent across the country, along with several sister companies. 
Can't get through to a support person. Any idea what's going on?

We're back up in both Chicago locations, Troy, LA, Dallas, and NY now. Chicago, 
Troy, and LA were complete losses for close to 35 minutes and Dallas and NY 
were 50-60% packet loss, so they were practically worthless.

Thanks!
