Hiccup
Posted on February 13th, 2007
Two weeks ago I had a hiccup with DNS (old zone got deactivated before the new one was live) and a few caches led to resolution problems. Amazingly enough, Feedburner has problems with stuck DNS caches, so this resulted in more than a day of outage for my syndication feed.
Interestingly, the traffic has still not recovered. I guess some of the random people who’d subscribed got errors in their readers and unsubscribed.

Rootnet

The trees bloomed today. Most of them. All at once, it seems.
When I was a child and had just discovered computer networks (before the word “network” entered the common lexicon), I often mused to myself that the trees might have an Internet of their own, connected through roots, with a few high-latency links via seeds and leaves blown through the wind.
Apparently, they have NTP on their network.
