Offlate for last 2 weeks, i have been getting too many calls.. Ray, pls help us, net is not working etc etc. Sadly their ISPs are not helping them .. they just say, “everything is fine” maybe you have you a virus.
When i diagnoised this problem for many of them i noticed they are using the ISP’s DNS Servers. i would recommend you use these below mentioned DNS servers as PRIMARY and SECONDARY and then use the ISP’s DNS as alternates.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
So i would prefer you contact your IT guy to make the change. Opendns is a community supported platform and with fast updates and Error checking. i would prefer you use it for all your networking DNS queries. Using the above , have solved most of my clients problems.
Ok, im given this new project to work on. To build a Virtual Bull Fighting Game for Xbox 360. Im not sure , how this would conflict my role/opinion in Animal Cruelty and stuff. But it is interesting to have an opportunity to actually build a full 3d game for the XBOX.
Grey a fellow blogger from kuwait, has come up with an interesting collection of Indian Rock Music. People like him and many others are the ones who make ‘content’ for the internet. When we search for recipes and other info, its like people like him, who make it avaliable for all of us.
http://indianrockmp3.wordpress.com/ is a collection of MP3 (legally allowed) for your listening pleasure. do listen and support the artists for their talent.
Today, when Computer education is popular in schools. The outgoing students think they know the science, they know the skills, the pros or cons. They think they are the doctors of IT. That they can do rocket programming the moment they passout from college.
Unfortunately(or fortunately), they do not pursue the IT career. but they think they can still comment, demand IT guys to bow down at their feet, coz they learnt their tools in school. They just wont understand, that if you do science in school , doesnt mean you have graduated into a Doctor and immediately treat patients.
They do not understand the fact, that IT is an Experience more than just knowledge or books. Its a skill and a trait. It needs patience and logical understanding of the situation. whats worse is parents sometimes misunderstand this.
I was once faced in doing Consultancy for a major company, which includes a complete Email setup, Firewalls, couple of oracle servers. In between of the meeting, the guy is like.. Ray!, i think i will involve my son in the decision making. He studied IT in school. Im like….. ‘ok’ …. how old is he ? he is 15……….. im like WTF!.
Like Engineers, Doctors and many other disciplines.. i wish IT is left alone.. !
i have been busy with awfully alot lately … i keep saying , “i have to make time for the blog” and for my “visitors”, sorry folks, will return shortly….
After one of my big oscars died, the other oscar was lonely. And wouldnt eat… and sulked in the corner. It was heart breaking, So finally i went and got in 2 new oscars…They fought quite a bit , but they became the best of buddies. I got 3 new tankmates. they are called “SnakeHeads” i got them free from my regular dealer, he told me to try them out.
Now, after doing some reading, it seems that Snakeheads are banned in the US as tank pets as they grow to the size of 75 cms. and can get aggressive. They are not aggressive to anything bigger than them. But once they outgrow their mates… everyone is a meal….
