http://www.agile.com.au/agile, is http://www.internode.on.net/ (a large adsl provider) IP/data carrier (internode also own agile). Internode/Agile is very different from is competitors (such as Chime/iinet) as it has one massive national network. iinet use Telstra to provide connection between different states, where as internode have their own. Although iinet are rolling out DSLAMs they still rely on Telstra for data services. Internode has their own network just for them. It has been seen that this is much more reliable than its competitor's counter parts. On the topic of data services. PIPE, a peering company also has a pretty nice setup although their POPs between states are not connected. There are lots of alteratives to Telstra, it is a pity that iinet rely on them so much (although iinet peer with PIPE). I am very interested in this area of IT. One day I shall have my own national network providing phat bandwidth to everyone ;) I'm sure I can fit in a data centre for hosting too.

Sorry for that random news post ;)
w0000. Dalegroup has just hit 30,000 page views this month. This is the number of pages loaded for the dalegroup website and dalegroup forums over this month. And, we're still not quite at the the end of the month. Nice work! Currently this is the second largest month in the history of dalegroup. The biggest month was Oct 2003 with just over 35,000 pages.
Yes we're still a small site, but one day mwmwhahaaa! :p
Also looking at the router status we have uploaded more content as a whole (this includes hosted websites such as SC and Terminate who too have had big months). I think this is great!
On another topic last week I rebuilt apache and php because of server issues: http://www.dalegroup.net/index.php?newsid=55
Apache hasn't died since. There may have been some config stuff left over from the old version. I've had this problem before (not updating config files), when I upgraded php and used the old file. GD crapped out and locked up apache and needed a reset. Did this on two servers, whoa I'm smart ;)
So ALWAYS redo your config files on a new install of server software, I know it takes time but do it!
This is the first spam message to get through both my mailserver and outlook!

Just thought you should know that. By the way, I don't like Oreo's and we really should call them biscuits seeing we are in Australia.
Well I thought I should post some news. It's nearly been a week :p
Really nothing much has been happening, most of us are all studying hard for the Trials. So that is taking up most of our time. I think everyone is looking forward to finishing. I know I've got a lot of little personal projects that I want to do but can't until the HSC is over. I'm really looking forward to getting out into the "Real World", school just feels so restricting. I'm sick of learning about things which suck! :p I spose uni is going to be the same, but there is more choice into what things you do end up learning. I'm looking forward to hunting down all the "computer nerds" in uni and bringing them to the forums, whammaahahhaa. *ahem* yeah.
Time to move on! School is too old school....
"The popularity of RSS feeds is testing the web infrastructure of at least one publisher, which likens the impact of newsreader traffic to a denial of service (DoS) attack."

Did you get this news item via my RSS feed? ;)
Argh I'm sitting here at school accessing my website. It's always been slow through the school. Now my understanding was it was just that the proxy was crap, well it is crap but if I access my site via IIS http://www.dalegroup.net:666/ it runs fast! So I'll be leaving IIS running for access via school. Most of my hosted sites are also setup to work via port 666 too, so try it sometime.
:)
Well as some of you may know I was working at DET (Department of Education and Training) IT area, and most of it was very interesting.
The first two days were lame:
Day1: Write out the features of Microsoft Office and Burn a CD.
Hey guys, I'm just about to get my CCNA I am more qualified than you! ;) :p
Day2: Sit in the help desk and listen to calls coming in about problems that the schools maybe having.
Hey guys, its school holidays no one is around.
*goes out for a smoke* :p
Day3: Well this was better. Sat in "Computer Support" and worked out how to change the hardware abstraction layer (aka hal) in windows. This is the thing that handles the hardware. It's like a layer that sits between the software and the hardware, some Microsoft thing. It's meant to work on any platform too (but that is never going to happen).
Day4: Went to their content management people. Talked at lot about XML and how it is good for interoperability. For example a moderator between two different databases that need to talk to each other.
Later that day I went to networking. Got to play around with some funky Cisco wireless stuff and talk about VPNs.
Day5: Went to the "NT SERVER TEAM". Listened to how they and the Novell team always fight about operating systems, funny stuff. Also talked about what my options are after leaving school.
Anyway it was very interesting. 40,000 email accounts about 40million emails a month. IT is a very specialized area. For example how a server gets setup:
1) Operations team install server into the rack and provide power
2) Networking team sets up routing and gives it an IP address
3) NT server team setup windows
4) Content management people do website
So if you worked in the NT server team you have NOTHING to do with the network. Need an ip address? Ring networking. So in a big company like that you really only do one thing. I was always under the impression that you'd do a range of things. Nope.
Yeah.
I've upgraded the RSS feed. And it's now a valid feed. Plus we have a quick sms style (160 char) description and valid dating scheme (now now don't get ideas ;))
In reply to this: http://sc.dalegroup.net/?style=2&page=news&nid=76
So with this RSS feed and the mailing list there should be no reason not to know what is going on down at dalegroup ;)
I upgraded to apache 2.0.50 on my windows 2003 server a few days ago. Now at least once a day apache hangs when ever I try to open my web stats package (awstats.pl), which is highly lame (although is continues serving other pages). The error I am receiving is:
[error] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed
Which is highly lame. To fix this problem I've gone back to apache 2.0.49. This problem has been seen by other people but not just in this version. I hope it gets fixed!
Bug report here:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30121
ADDED:
Also in the event viewer I have this error:
Faulting application Apache.exe, version 2.0.50.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.0, fault address 0x00003847.
Although the problem seems to have affected linux boxes more.
