I do like the bridges over nothing... they bet they are exciting when it
rains.

Time to change the motd?

We usually leave notices up about a week, so no, I don't think it's time to
change the motd.

That's good, since some people don't log in even weekly. But an item that
says something like
> Grex was off the DSL at 7:00pm EDT for a few minutes to try out a different
> DSL modem. The test was unsuccessful. Staff is looking into it further.
without specifying a date then becomes very confusing. Was this before or
after the May 19 loss which was also in the motd?
I admit that I'd rather have staff working on the problem than writing motd
notices, though.

The motd is now one week old and the Wednesday referred to is last Wednesday.
I have not had any problems for the past few days on grex.

Yep, if motd authors could remember, it wouldn't be a bad idea to prefix each
item with the date the item was added, e.g.:
5/19: Grex was off the DSL at 7:00pm EDT for a few minutes...

It's working normally now. Did someone fix it, or did it do it by itself?

An update on progress (or lack thereof) with the replacement dsl modem might
be nice. It's starting to get worse again.

Seems to have been down since this morning...at least, the two times I've
tried to SSH in, it's timed out.
How's the new modem coming?

Last night for a period of time grex's url's were pointed elsewhere.
www.cyberspace.org brought up a search engine. www.grex.org brought up a
different search engine. In the past when grex went off the 'net, you
would get a "page not found" or some other error. If somebody at grex's
isp changed its urls to pointers to point elsewhere, does that indicate
more than just a hardware problem?

That sounds very weird, Richard. Are you sure your browser isn't infected
with adware? Sometimes adware will redirect your browserto where it wants
to go. What browser are you using, and what search engine did you get?

That sounds like the most plausible explanation to me, too.

That or a localized DNS problem. A couple weeks ago I absolutely could not
get a connection to a well-established website for a couple days. Couldn't
even send mail; it would bounce.

well I did have some evilware that snuck in and installed itself on my hard
drive. But thats a side effect of doing a lot of websurfing. A lot of those
pop up ads on ad driven sites come loaded with hidden downloads. But I've
never had that particular issue at other times when grex was off the web.
Its an annoying bad habit of my computer that its supposed to notify me if
anything is being downloaded, but things still get by it and install
themselves anyway from time to time

My roommate had the same thing happen to him recently. He had to boot up in
safe mode and delete some files, before they had a chance to run.
spyware.com was helpful.
