Weather Underground also has some (relatively) up to date NZ readings.

OT - webcam locations and my weather station
by Richard Naylor 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

Thank you to all those who brightened up my day with suggestions on webcam locations. (I'm sick in bed with a bad cold/flu). The suggestions brought on many coughing fits and my wife threatened to take the lappy away (wireless cards rule). Some suggestions were, + Kelburn - ah isn't there a large "national" organisation doing this stuff ? (remember at least one cam has a weather station) + Holt Cres, Ottawa - + Devonport, Auckland - A citylink weather station and cam IS coming to downtown AKL + Tasmania + Piha Beach + Wellington Stadium - we already have a camera there on a lighting tower. Must install the IP stuff........ + Outside the Mermaid Bar. - Inside would get more hits ! (Where is this bar Sid ?) And yes I KNOW Tawa is both windy and cold. I live there. Thank you for the many kind and thoughtful comments on our weather. There is no external cam at home otherwise you would all tell me to cut the grass. I am managing to get my sons to do that. I do the mower and weed eater repairs <sigh> However, Jeremy has a camera at http://www.r2.co.nz/~jeremy/webcam/ - If you have any REALLY funny locations for web cams or ones that might endear teh Internet to the rest of the population (like avoiding motorway queues, etc) please let me know off list. I think we haven't had enough fun lately rich richard.naylor(a)citylink.co.nz - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

XTRA's DNS, WHF is going on.....?
by Michael Hallager 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

Hi all, Mail from Xtra users to "anything(a)comsolve.co.nz" is being bounced back to them along with a .dat information file. Closer inspection of this .dat file reveals that Xtra's (DNS servers?) thinks that mail.connected.net.nz is STILL the destination mail server despite me not being with Connected since 1998. Yes- I have kept my DNS zonefiles and Domainz information well up-to-date for the last 4 years since moving from Connected and running my own mailserver.... This may merit some looking into. I have contacted Xtra and found their (Contracted to Teletech) helpdesk helpful enough (Even though I have never been a client of Xtra's) but unable to assist with somewhat technical matters of this nature. (They are passing the matter on they say). How many others have been caught out like this? Best regards, Michael Hallager Unix Systems Administrator / Managing Director Comsolve Networks (NZ) Limited http://www.comsolve.net.nz PS) Luckily all my users have their own domain names or use @comsolve.NET.nz email addresses! - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Are static IPs over Jetstart possible and are they legitimate?
by Michael Hallager 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

Hi all, The following is taken verbatim from a local ISP's site: (today). -- <copy> -- * Static IP's for Jetstart are offered over PPTP tunnels. The pricing quoted includes the setup of the PPTP tunnel on our side, but does not include client support, which is currently charged at $120 per hour if required. -- </copy> -- And then under the Jetstart service description field: -- <copy> -- * Servers are allowed * Static IPs over tunnels $20/mth -- </copy> -- Anyone tried this? Does it work? If so, how well? Is it legitimate? Wishing everyone a happy 2002.

Bigbens faulty chimes

Hi all, The problem with bigben.clix.net.nz has been rectified. This was a fault with the Truetime software and we have had a temporary fix shipped from the USA. They are currently burning new EPROMs to send out that corrects the problem permanently. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. And yes we have pointed out to them that stratum 1 time sources SHOULD NOT HAVE BUGS!!!! ~ben =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Ben Martel Ph: +64 9 9124067 TelstraClear Fax:+64 9 9125008 Mob:+64 21 541202 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ~ben =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Ben Martel Ph: +64 9 9124067 TelstraClear Fax:+64 9 9125008 Mob:+64 21 541202 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
