Off Topic Job Scrounge
by J S Russell 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

This IS off topic, but has been done before (Hi James and Matt!) so please indulge me. :) I find myself having been made redundant from Callplus, with nothing else immediately lined up as alternate employment. If any of my fellow nznog denizens have any kind of position suitable for an experienced tech/tech-manager, please let me know about it - my mortgage must be fed. Salary is fairly unimportant, as long as there is some. Hours are also fairly unimportant, as is location (though it'll have to be Auckland). Part-time is fine, too. Weekends also fine. I come complete with an optional terabyte or so of disk, packed to the gills with TV shows, and bolted to a high-spec server. This _may_ accompany me to a new gig, if that gig finds it acceptable to have such a thing on their network, but it's 100% optional. Please feel free to e-mail me if there's anything going at your company which I can assist with.

[OT?] The great African internet robbery
by Chris Wedgwood 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

The same argument presumably applies to New Zealand (and Australia) here. What the article fails to mention is there seems to be more interest on the whole for New Zealanders to access U.S. based content than for U.S. based users to access New Zealand based content. I would guess, if the option were available for parity here, that many people in the U.S. would simple choose to ignore (cut off) NZ completely if they had to share an equal part of the cost burden (remember in a fair world whis would be circuits to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe), however, I have to wonder what the incremental cost to the average U.S. based user would be of U.S. based carriers and suppliers did take half of the cost and could redistribute the burden over other transit and peer links. --cw http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_1931000/1931120.stm [...] According to Kenya's Internet Service Providers (ISP) Association, the continent is being forced by Western companies to pay the full cost of connecting to worldwide networks.

Maybe OT: Traffic Magnet: Spam or what?
by Craig Whitmore 11 Apr '02

11 Apr '02

People most likely have come across this in the past, but HOW to you get off "TrafficMagnet" stupid lists?? I have a number of web sites, and I get about 2-3 Emails from them per week from "Christine Hall " which is very anoying. Each time for the last 6 months I have emailed them back saying "remove me please, I am not interested in your service" , but I still keep getting them. Do you think a Physical Registered Letter Send to them in the mail from a Lawyer asking them to stop work? Has anyone else had trouble with this "Company" in the past. PS: I know I can just make a procmail/outlook express rule to delete them, but I don't want to get them in the first place.

HitWise

Hi, This word is starting to circulate about our office and I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this crowd, at first look it seems like some dogey marketing rubbish that I should not let anywhere near our network here, but because they promise you money and apparently take "nothing confidential" management are viewing it through eyes painted with pretty wee dollar signs.. http://www.hitwise.com/ is their website.. comments/suggestions ? (note, allowing anyone access to our proxy logs without a search warrant grates at me already and will be one argument against this that I will be raising as an issue..) -- Steve. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
