spamming the list
by Ian Batterbee 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

As the person who started the topic about sending to alphanumeric pagers, I feel partly responsible for the resulting p*ss*ng contest that some of the list members have found necessary. To them I say, there's no need for personal abuse on this list - if you disagree with someone else's decision to buy a $700 box then that's fine, but I'ld much rather my inbox wasn't full of messages about who is right and who is wrong. Thanks.

Are there any department of internal affairs staff familiar with the "Life Event Validation" system (or any other person familiar with it, for that matter) subscribed to this list? If so, please contact me off-list. Thanks, Will.

BEER LOSES TOP SPOT TO IPOD
by Richard Naylor 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Just goes to show that the quality of education has dropped. BEER LOSES TOP SPOT TO IPOD For only the second time in ten years, drinking beer has been relegated to second on Student Monitor's biannual survey of what is "in" on campus, with iPods slotting in at number one. The only other thing to unseat beer: the Internet, in 1997. Eric Weil of Student Monitor said of the latest results of its Lifestyle and Media Study, "We knew iPods were pervasive on campus as a learning and entertainment device, but we didn't see it rating that high." Between spring 2006 and spring 2006, iPods jumped from 59 percent of students saying they were "in" to 73 percent. Rounding out the top ten spots on the survey are Facebook (which tied beer for second), drinking other alcohol, text messaging, downloading music, going to clubs, instant messaging, working out, and coffee. Dan Updegrove, vice president for information technology at the University of Texas at Austin, pointed out that the speed with which "Internet-based phenomena can emerge" accounts for having so many technologies on the top ten that did not even exist several years ago.

I'm sure this thread already ended with the below message, which was over 15 posts ago. Note how the person who asked the original question says that the suggested solution qualifies as an answer to his question, and he does not ask for any further information. Judging from this, it is fairly possible to come to the conclusion that you do not need to flame the shit out of each other with irrelevant messages telling JJ what a n00b he is. Everyone go back to bed now. Monday is days away.

Is there a Telecom paging tcp interface at all ?
by Ian Batterbee 10 Jun '06

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect to [something] at telecom via tcp/ip that allows message sending to alphanumeric pagers, or is that still only accessible via dialup modem to pacnet ?

Notification of NZRR Database changes

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS17746 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Orcon Internet - AS17746 members: 60.234.0.0/16^16-29, 202.150.96.0/19^19-29, 203.99.0.0/19^19-29, 203.86.192.0/20^20-29, 219.88.128.0/20^20-29, 219.88.240.0/20^20-29, 210.54.56.0/21^21-29, 202.49.92.0/22^22-29, 202.49.244.0/22^22-29, 202.50.104.0/22^22-29, 202.50.124.0/22^22-29, 210.54.148.0/22^22-29, 210.55.12.0/22^22-29, 202.49.90.0/23^23-29, 210.54.142.0/23^23-29, 192.88.99.0/24^24-29, 202.36.170.0/24^24-29, 202.36.227.0/24^24-29, 202.37.19.0/24^24-29, 202.37.173.0/24^24-29, 202.37.194.0/24^24-29, 202.49.106.0/24^24-29, 202.49.187.0/24^24-29, 202.49.233.0/24^24-29, 202.50.167.0/24^24-29, 202.50.246.0/24^24-29, 202.89.154.0/24^24-29, 210.54.12.0/24^24-29, 210.55.1.0/24^24-29, 210.55.8.0/24^24-29, 210.55.199.0/24^24-29, 218.101.56.0/24^24-29, 202.27.188.128/25^25-29, 210.55.0.0/25^25-29, 210.55.180.128/26^26-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: tsalmen(a)orcon.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060302 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS17746 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Orcon Internet Ltd - AS17746 members: 60.234.0.0/16^16-29, 202.150.96.0/19^19-29, 203.99.0.0/19^19-29, 202.126.192.0/20^20-29, 203.96.192.0/20^20-29, 219.88.128.0/20^20-29, 219.88.240.0/20^20-29, 210.54.56.0/21^21-29, 210.54.148.0/22^22-29, 210.55.12.0/22^22-29, 202.37.82.0/23^23-29, 202.0.151.0/24^24-29, 202.36.170.0/24^24-29, 202.37.19.0/24^24-29, 202.37.173.0/24^24-29, 202.37.194.0/24^24-29, 202.49.187.0/24^24-29, 202.49.233.0/24^24-29, 202.49.246.0/24^24-29, 202.50.167.0/24^24-29, 202.50.246.0/24^24-29, 202.174.160.0/24^24-29, 203.86.200.0/24^24-29, 210.54.12.0/24^24-29, 210.55.1.0/24^24-29, 210.55.8.0/24^24-29, 210.55.199.0/24^24-29, 202.27.188.128/25^25-29, 210.55.0.0/25^25-29, 210.55.180.128/26^26-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: karl.skewes(a)team.orcon.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060609 source: NZRR
