21 Mar 2005Comcast came out this morning and found water in the splitter on the outside of the house.
Your regularly scheduled program shall be much more regular now.

15 Mar 2005I should not be running servers on my Comcast connection. BAD DOG! BAD DAMNATION HOUND!
Comcast should not make it so easy to spot, and then not be able to explain, a daily outage pattern
The nice lady in customer phone support said there were no problems in my area, but that she could not contact my [...]

13 Feb 2005I was offline for about 4.5 hours this morning while Comcast “upgraded” part of their infrastructure. Sorry about that.

1 Feb 2005This time, the IP (67.164.122.83) is definitely a client computer.

21 Dec 2004Ok, the GrabPERF and Pierzchala.com servers are back on the Net, with new IPs. You may not be able to get to them for a while, due to DNS propagation.
Whatever Comcast did better be worth it.
Looks like the link to my home network is down. Ugh.

15 Dec 2004You would kind of expect it, but to do it in such an obvious way is kind of mind-boggling. Comcast started scanning my home IP every 15 minutes on November 24, 2004 for signs of a live Port 80. A simple IPTABLES rule and that’s the end of that.
