Prior to Reinstalling Windows – backup drivers!

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

I should’ve done this so many times prior to reinstalling, but it’s just so tempting just to pop in the cd and let it run.

A good tool to do this is driver magician – located here:

Anyone have any other ideas?]]>

damn slave DNS server!

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

From http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Dummies … USING.html

You can provide DNS redundancy in two ways:

* Master/slave: In the traditional master/slave DNS relationship, (one or more) DNS slave servers load zone data from the master server on startup and at intervals specified in the start of authority (SOA) record for each zone. This method of redundancy has one huge advantage: When a zone file is changed, the changes are automatically propagated to the slave servers. This process normally happens as soon as the changes are made if the NOTIFY DNS feature is supported, and it happens after the time interval in the SOA record if NOTIFY is not supported.

The master/slave DNS server relationship has a disadvantage also: If the master goes down, the slave is restarted, and the zone data cannot be transferred. Also, if the master goes down and isn’t restored by the time the DNS record becomes stale (because it cannot update from the master server), the zone is no longer accessible.]]>

wolves do adopt and take care of other young …

There are some efforts to bring the wolves back – Yellowstone, Russia, Germany, etc. I’m happy to see that they’re making a comeback. :)]]>

there’s no adoption in the caribou world …

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

http://animal.discovery.com/tvlistings/episode.jsp?episode=3&cpi=107787&gid=0&channel=APL, I observed a baby calf, only a day old that couldn’t keep up with his mother. She went back to find him once, but after being unable to keep up a second time, was left struggling for himself. He finds other adult caribou, but none willing to help. (There’s no adoption in the caribou world.) Without the mother’s milk, he died after a day. Pretty sad, eh?]]>

China’s Internet censorship

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

The workaround that I’ve provided to one of my friends is to just modify their windows hosts file to fix this. Here are the steps:

1) Find the current IP for shocknetwork.dyndns.org by going to:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch … org&type=A

On the page, you’ll see something like:

shocknetwork.dyndns.org. A IN 60 68.183.64.29

The number there (68.183.64.29) is the current IP address.

2) Open the hosts file by running:

notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

or

notepad c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

At the beginning of the file, it should say something like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

3) At the bottom of the file, add the line:

68.183.64.29 wilma http://www.shocknetwork.com images.shocknetwork.com chunli.shocknetwork.com shocknetwork.com shocknetwork.dyndns.org

The number there (68.183.64.29) if the number is different from what’s on the page.

That’s it.]]>
