10/11 U.C. Berkeley's connection to the internet went down early this
morning due to a power outage in Palo Alto at BBNPlanet's hub site.
It's supposed to be back online this afternoon (hopefully)
- see http://ucb.net.barrnet-alert for more info/the latest details. |

10/11 Was E-mail affected by this morning's internet outage?
I have successfully been able to telnet in as of this afternoon,
but my usual daily mail doesn't seem to have come in.
\_ HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT E-MAIL TO GET HERE WITH NO NET?
CARRIER PIGEON? USE YOUR BRAIN (OR DON'T YOU HAVE ONE?)
\_ DOWN MEANS DOWN. No web, no mail, no ping, NO NOTHING. AND
IT'S STILL DOWN.
\_ unless you're elite enough to be able to reroute your
own packets via LBL or another UC
\_ You can't do that unless you had access to the
downstream routers at LBNL or another UC.
\_ or you just login to one of those places and
telnet here from there
\_ That's funny, I'm on-line through a machine at CSUN (Northridge),
telnetted into UCSD and telnetted again to Soda. I'm here, but
my mail is not. What gives?
\_ the routers of the internet are not as smart
as people think. you'll have to wait till bbnplanet
is working again.
\_ The UC's are all connected together - mail from other
UC hosts are here - THE REST OF THE WORLD STILL CAN'T GET
THROUGH because routers don't know they can get to us via
other UC's. BE PATIENT - NOTHING IN YOUR E-MAIL IS THAT
IMPORTANT.
\_ We're just talking about it, not being impatient.
And how do YOU know nothing in our e-mail is
important? You don't. |

10/5 Okay - forget food, time to buy the politburo "English for Dummies":
BBQ 10/12 3pm to whenever at the 4th floor balcony. Everyone &
/-"Pot luck" is not the same as "Potluck"
Anyone invited. Pot luck so bring real food or expect to chip in $.
\_ why caps mid-sentence? \_ Verbs are cheap. Use them.
There be sports and etc so come!
\ \_ "and etc"? What next? "sports and and more"?
\_ Try using the correct tense, such as "There will be"
\_ Why not post to http://ucb.org.csua & ucb.cs.undergrads then?
\_ we're too elite to invite other people
\_ i'm having my own way elite potluck - danh
i am so elite
\_ PHUCKER! |

10/11/96 Why doesn't the libraries at Cal allow people to check their e-mail
or programming when other schools allow it? I mean some of us do
real stuff like programming.
\_ Because there are plenty of other places to do that stuff.
(and you can login from the library terminals without trying
too hard)
\_ I know you can login library terminals easily but I mean
like why do they allow people to surf on the web and
not do stuff like telnet. Besides, who said you can't
do research by e-mail. They said personal email not
permitted but what about mailing lists and stuff.
\_ Because there are plenty of MF's to telnet from
where they get pissed at people spending too much time
surfing the web.
\_ That's true but the machines in the library are
wasted when the ones in the MF's are Macintrashes
and also, who cares what people do on the
computer as long as they don't destroy the machine.
Besides, since when was telnet defined as e-mail? |
