Here’s a map of he DNS root servers globally. I didn’t realise that in 2002, an attack disabled 9 of the then 13 root name servers. And then in February 2007, 30,000 zombie PCs, traced to South Korea, battered the servers: affecting six, two badly. If all the servers were to be taken out,ContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 27.09.07”
digital evolution and daemons
MSN take a look at how the web is evolving including personal daemons. Which is a new term to me as a quick Google suggests it came from a Phillip Pullman novel. But they exist in other forms including the one in the article. Having taken the test on the Golden Compass movie link above,ContinueContinue reading “digital evolution and daemons”
oh no ocado
Just when we thought that social media was on the rise and using detachable and user generated content was getting traction (witness this week’s NMA with HP & Burger King sloshing vast revenues into digital because it works better for them), I get this email from Ocado (upmarket grocery home delivery service in partnership withContinueContinue reading “oh no ocado”

lumpy post
Lumpy is a term that has stuck with me ever since everyone’s favourite bearded Canadian, PJ Darling (real name) entered our lives many years back and did a Show & Tell about a 3D boxed DM piece for BTCellnet (now 02). And where I’m from, we call these packs ‘a lumpy’ And it’s stuckContinueContinue reading “lumpy post”

As well as being really moreish sweeties, Skittles have a cool web site where you can create your own animated cartoon, based on the very nice ATL execution, and then share it with your friends on Bebo. I like it. Sky have created a channel called SkyCast. I just don’t see why they didn’t createContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 30.07.07”

After signing up and what seemed like endless survey filling in, I got asked to join a Bzzz campaign for Lucozade Sport with Caffeine. I filled in (yet another) survey to qualify and will shortly receive a 12-pack in the post (the postman will be delighted) and further instructions. I hope the instructions self-destruct. IContinueContinue reading “agent status | active”
