Comcast 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.

I 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 [...]

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

This time, the IP (67.164.122.83) is definitely a client computer.
It’s hitting me once every 15 minutes, like clockwork.
Time to add another entry to the IPTABLES config. Done.

Look who’s looking!

The ethical question that I face is whether I should or not because I can. In the Web performance business, the companies that I work for have [...]

Ok, 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.

Sigh

Looks like the link to my home network is down. Ugh.
Guess I will have to do some work now.

Samantha reports that the tv is out and there are multiple Comcast trucks patrolling the neighbourhood. Looks like a severe knockdown.

Comcast scanning Port 80

In: smp

You 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.
