GKPE: General Ramblings thread

To messy. Its a complete setup you start selling bits and then you end up with bits that dont sell.

I did it. Will be the proud owner of a 17-55 f2.8 IS when my bonus comes through next Thursday. Now to update my Sig and track down a lens hood for it.

Congrats and Enjoy Did you get it from AC or from Trademe?

Wohoo!!!

When do you get to see it in action?

Hey everyone, david wants me to ask you all if you have any ideas why he can't log into POTN from work anymore? he can log in fine at home, and he used to be able to from work, but the last few days hes been unable to. (i think hes having withdrawal symptoms )
any ideas for things he can check or whatever?

If the router/firewall allows it, try a tracert to photography-on-the.net and see where it fails. If it can't find host then DNS isn't working properly, if it does find it and stops somewhere in the path, then you know which hop to be looking at...

e.g from my home machine:

Trademe, they dropped the price and answered my 20 questions correctly. It is conditional on my inspection when I pick it up.

I have to wait a week unfortunately. My bonus gets paid next Wednesday night.

17..............

I would send that to Peka

I wrote a quick message to CDS before lunch, but I guess he's probably in bed, or dealing with more urgent things...

I'd hate to piss Pekka off if this is actually my fault, but I don't see how it could be?

What's "17......" for? Did you cut it off? That's the important bit. Not all routers reply to ping requests.

just did one from 3G card...

Your trace is failing somewhere in the USA so you could always try and speak to someone at the Xtra helpdesk (if you've some time on your hands...)
Tell them it's a mission critical site!

Ok, it's all working again... I'm now here by myself, without the proxy:

I don't know how or why, but I'm glad it's going again

The site works fine for me fine but...
