The Kids were noisy. Well, they're kids, they're inherently noisy.
But they supposed to be sleeping.
On a hunch, I logged into the firewall system (an old 486 running Linux)
and ran monnet
, a network monitor
I wrote a few years ago as an educational exercise and sure enough, there
was quite a bit of traffic from The Kids' computer upstairs.
Sure enough, they were playing Rune Scape.
Buy why yell when instead, I can have a bit of fun …
route add 10.0.1.161 reject
It suddenly got very quiet upstairs …
Heh heh heh.
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.
