by Phillip Vandry 09 Oct '98

09 Oct '98

If anyone's watching, on the Red Green show that is currently airing on CBC (started at 8:30pm EDT), they just showed us how to build a backhoe from a Cadillac, duct tape, and a Thighmaster. Hilarious! -Phil

I just took a peek at the Gomes Gopher shirt. IMHO, it would be a LOT better not to depict *any* person at all. Simply a picture of the back-hoe, bright yellow, in the gun-sights. Make is a hi-tech gun-sight with ranging ranging, azimuth, and elevation markings. The back-hoe should be one of those enclosed driver compartment types so the operator can't be seen. No matter which operator is depicted, someone could construe it as being racially/ personally defamitory. This would prevent many of us from wearing it in the work-place.

you're implying that the other 99% of text on this list is somehow nanog's concern? it's amusing to see what topic will spark someone to stand up and yell "this should *not* be discussed on nanog" and then the next post they send out has no more relevance than the one they complain about. ya, ya, and my post is of no relevance either. why buck the trend. -brett alex(a)nac.net on 10/08/98 08:24:10 PM To: Adam Rothschild <asr(a)millburn.net> cc: nanog(a)merit.edu (bcc: Brett Watson/Enron Communications) Subject: Re: MAE NY?

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 09 Oct '98

09 Oct '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Oct 9 12:00:00 PDT 1998 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
