I am getting REALLY sick and tired of Interliant stealing contact information from the NSI whois database and printing them on postcards for postal spam (and I sure as hell didn't give NSI any permission whatsoever in selling my contact info ; I know, they've been selling it lately; whether I want their spam or not is ultimately InterLIARs concern though). As far as as ethics standards for Digex/Intermedia is concerned, my mind is clouded right now, but Interliant will never find consideration at places where I am at the helm. That same behavior has cost Savvis some substantial contract(s) this year, from DSL lines over T1's to a DS-3, new ones and extensions alike.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 08 Dec '00

08 Dec '00

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Dec 8 12:00:00 PST 2000 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

RE: California power - its cold, its dark
by Roeland Meyer 08 Dec '00

08 Dec '00

Thanks for the links guys. Now, here's the summary. 1) California power load is still 10,000 MW below peak delivery of last Summer. 2) Slightly over 1/3 of the generation plants are down for "maintenance". 3) There was an unplanned 500 KW outage, which was compensated for by shuting down the pumps of the California Aquaduct sytem temporarily. 1) Blame is being placed on the early and extra cold winter. However, a quick perusal of the Farmers Almanac shows that this is expected and no surprise, or shouldn't be. 2) The REAL blame probably rests on the head of the yahoo that allowed so many plants to go on scheduled maintenance at the same time. 3) Shutting down the aquaduct is real bad. Some of Bill Mullholland's design depends on siphon effect and if the siphon breaks it takes weeks of massive power usage in order to resore it. Ergo, they can't shut it down too long or it'll cost too much power to bring it back up. Leaving it down isn't an option, too many people depend on that water. It's looking more like a management screw-up and more people are begining to realize it. The deregulators were so busy deregulating that future usage planning was foregone. Forcing the local utilities to sell off their generators may not have been very smart either. Current power capacity scheduling was also bungled. The timing can only be either gross incompetance or Machiavallien cunning. Thank you all for the additional links. I was actually researching this since a few days ago. Some of us are preparing grounds for suit, independently, in the event that they start long rolling black-outs. We have six-hours worth of bats, so we should be okay.

California power - its cold, its dark
by Sean Donelan 08 Dec '00

Approximately one-third of California's power generating capacitiy is off-line. The California system operator has called a "stage 3" power alert, requiring *interruptiable* customers be interrupted until 10pm tonight. They are not instituting rotating blackouts of other customers at this time.

Doh! Last time I worked in the fishbowl, I waited until the Senior Manager was showing us off to the VIPs, and then I brought up all the day's critical error messages in the IT/O (some of you know it as Opcenter) history at once, so it looked like a screen full of red Criticals popped up all at once. Then I looked at the screen, shrugged my shoulders, and walked off out of sight. He thought I was leaving the room; I was actually standing off where they couldn't see me, but I could still see the screen in case real errors popped up. :-) After that, he started calling us and warning us before the curtain would be opened.
