I want to test my network monitor on a rather busy server colocated at
Atlantic Internet.
There's interesting traffic there and I want to make sure I'm properly
decoding the traffic to monitor it.
So I try to transfer it from my home box via FTP. Only I get a connection
refused. “What the?” I think. Then I look carefully at where I'm trying
to transfer the file from: linus.slab.connan.org. Connan.
Hmmmmmm …
Check out the web page. Don't bother—it's a domain name auction site if
you can believe it. Only it's not other people auctioning off domains they
own—it's the auction company itself auctioning off the domains. And it
looks like they've wildcarded the domain. Both “www” and “linus.slab”
come up with the same web page.
I wonder if I bid for “www.connan.org” and have a friend bid for
“linus.slab.connan.org” who would win? Or would we both win our
respective “domains?”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
