Wednesday's trip went fairly smooth overall, and I actually
enjoyed helping out my friend Larry with some server
software installation and network configuration tasks. His
kids seemed impressed with the new ability to copy files
between the five different computers and have Internet
access at any of them. Ahh, yes... geeks in the making.
<p>After that project was finished, I met up with Jake at a
nearby Starbucks to shoot the breeze and catch up on all
things Lockergnome. We email all the time, but it's nice to
have a face-to-face conversation for a change. He had just
finished establishing new phone service with Verizon, so he
has a fun new PalmOS-based phone to play with.
<p>After the dose of caffeine, I headed up to Boone, Iowa to
hook up with my cousin Casey and his wife of two months,
Stephanie. Their new house is awesome, but disappointing, as
there was no high-speed Internet connection or wireless
networking. We'll have to fix that. For now, I'll remain
impressed with the geothermal heating/cooling system and the
vast potential of the unfinished basement that will someday
make an incredible rec room [insert suitable Tim Allen grunt
here].
<p>Casey is ticked about all of the rain recently because it
keeps eroding his dirt front yard into the drainage ditch.
The back yard is in great shape, as there was sod laid after
construction finished up, but he decided to save a few bucks
and seed the front himself next spring. This now assumes
that he'll have a front yard left by then.
<p>The rain turned out to be the last event of the evening.
I drove through the beginning of the storms on the way from
Ankeny to Boone, and I just knew it was going to be a rough
drive home later since they were only getting started at
that time. I was correct. What would normally be an hour and
45 minute drive turned into nearly two and a half hours and
many, many animal sightings. As the night wore on, I was
half expecting to see someone building an ark in a
cornfield. Must have been where the animals were headed.
<p>The rain guage at home showed 3.25" this morning, adding
to the 1.25" and 2.5" amounts dumped out of it within the
last week. I considered setting the sprinkler up in the
front yard today as an attempt at neighborly humor, but
figured I'd just be labeled as a complete moron instead.
<p>So, what did I forget to take with me, you ask?
Directions to Larry's house. DOH! I had to dig out the
notebook at a close rest area in a vain attempt to quickly
memorize the route. Instead, I decided to transcribe the
list on my Jornada, which would be far easier (and safer) to
read as I navigated through the streets. There's still a use
for printers in this world, without question. Reading text
from the tiny screen bites. Larger print and bold text on a
sheet of paper is the way to go. At least I didn't leave my
PDA at home as well, which I actually considered doing.

<b>Satellite Internet Delays Add Up</b>
<p><a class="url" href="http://www.skycasters.com/supervpnwhitepaper.htm">http://www.skycasters.com/supervpnwhitepaper.htm</a>
<p>Have you considered moving to a satellite Internet
provider at some point? While all of the marketing hype
paints a rosy picture, there are a couple of things that you
really must consider before writing the check. The birds are
some 23,000 miles above the surface of the planet, so there
is a significant delay while the bits float up and back
down. The absolute minimum time for a packet to get from one
place to another is nearly a quarter of a second. Add in
hops across the Internet and other hardware latency and it's
common to see ping times of between 500 and 1000
milliseconds - an eternity when you're talking about TCP/IP
connections. Now consider how VPN connections are affected,
being that they are generally significantly slower on the
ground without the extra 46,000 miles. Ouch! This white
paper is a tad marketing driven, but I think their
explanation of technology and how they are addressing VPN-
over-satellite connections is quite informative.

<b>PGP Outlook Plug-in Vulnerability</b>

<p>Even encryption software is potentially exposed to
security problems. Network Associates' PGP software, which
interfaces directly with Microsoft Outlook, has been found
to be vulnerable to malicious code within an email. Exposed
systems can be made to execute code of the attacker's
choice, and because email can be sent from anywhere and to
anywhere. Tracking down the source could be rather
difficult. Hotfixes for each of NAI's products are available
on their website.

<b>Intro to Relational Databases</b>
<p><a class="url" href="http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020522.htm">http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020522.htm</a>
<p>You know what a database is, right? Sure you do. Can you
explain what a relational database is all about? Correctly?
There's a lot more to database management and development
than dumping a bunch of records into tables and generating
reports. Proper design is crucial. Trust me. I've been on
the receiving end of some lazy programming efforts that
ignore the foundation of relational databases, and it
usually results in additional work later.

<b>Smile While You Surf</b>
<p>I like creative use of 404 pages, so sue me. Some of you have complained about the one Chris created for display when you come across a bogus link on the Lockergnome web site, which I don't understand. Would you rather stare at that stupid-looking, uninformative and generally useless one that your browser provides by default?
<p>Cramsession.com posted some unique "excuses" for their site being down for maintenance, and I thought I'd share a few:
<ul><li><p>Roses are red
<br>Our web site is resting
<br>We're fixing the server
<br>While Everquesting
<li>In the interest of research, we're testing to see how long it takes a Network Administrator to get through a people-size maze to the web servers. As soon as he finds them, we'll be back online... Unless the Marketing Minotaur gets him first.
<li>Suicide note found on the web server: "I've had it. I can't take the heat anymore. You ran me ragged, and what thanks did I get? None. Null. Nothing. I gave and I gave, and you still wanted more I spent every second of my day trying to make you happy, but it was never enough. Always work faster, do more, stay late, work overtime, be more efficient. I was never good enough for you anyway. You deserve better. Signed CPU."
<li>You have reached the Cramsession Maintenance Page.
While you are staring at this page, waiting for the website to come back up, (should take about an hour or two) We'd like to offer the following fun activities:
<ol><li>Hold your breath until you see black spots dancing in front of your eyes.
<br><li>Spin around in your chair until you get nauseous. Wheee!
<br><li>Pretend your mouse is a microphone. Dictate a memo into it where you outline your plans for global domination.
<li>Connect the dots!
<br>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.
<li>Get monitor cleaner so you can wipe ink off of screen from connecting the dots.</ol>
<li>We apologise for the inconvenience of our missing web site. We're doing something really "high tech" and "important" behind this "maintenance" curtain. We'll be back just as soon as we catch all the gophers.....Again.
<li>HELP! I'm locked in the Server Room. Please send Help! And I'm running out of potato chips, too!</ul>
