I’m looking to get my VAXstation running again, and I’m needing a >= 1 GB SCSI Disk (I gave back the disk I used to the Indy). If you have or know a person willing to part with such a disk, please contact me. I’d prefer a DEC RZ disk, but I’m willing to take anything. Or if you are willing to part with a larger disk, I guess I could do the swap with the Indy.

So, WWDC was this week and it brought about the Mac Pro. I thought that maybe getting a 64-bit CPU again for Apple might get me interested in their hardware again. Not so. First off, it’s their high-end machine, meaning it’s too expensive. Second, it’s Intel’s Woodcrest chip. For people that know me, I’m not that crazy about x86, 32 nor 64-bit.
My question is, why must every review of a new Intel-based Mac include a huge section about how they got boot camp working? We know the shit works, why must everyone mention it? I’m really sick of the people getting excited about getting getting a Mac to run Windows. I really don’t see the point. Could someone explain it to me?
I have Verizon DSL at home since the local cable company (Patriot Media) are a bunch of dirt bags. In June, Verizon got a hold of the IP block 72.0.0.0/8 and started assigning them to it’s DSL users. This is all find and dandy, but they didn’t update the reverse dns look up stuff (the in-addr.arpa, the PTR record, you know what I’m talking about). As a result, I couldn’t use a lot of services that does reverse dns lookup (like ssh on eden), which sucks majorly. So today, around 03:00, I loose my dsl connection, which almost gave me a heart attack. After about ten minutes of trying to get back the PPPoE connection back up, I finally persuade it to come back and use the loading of google.com/ig as the smoke test. Lo and behold, Verizon got it’s act together:
I guess all the customers that complained finally got them to fix it.
