I'll be doing some work on our firewall which will have the Ncdsa.com server inaccessible for 30-mins or so this morning.     Rate post 223528 !

On 11/29/2005 Chris Miller wrote in from United States  (216.243.nnn.nnn) Here's a suggestion: Buy some schwag and donate it to someone who can pass it out at some real grass roots type event.     Rate post 222727 !

On 11/29/2005 kaspian wrote in from United States  (216.195.nnn.nnn) I was just awarded a modest bit of money by PayPal in a dispute with a less-than-scrupulous young man selling skateboard equipment on eBay. This guy, who says he is 21, seems to be not so much dishonest as unreflective about ethical issues -- so it doesn't trouble him, for example, to make false claims or promises, though he isn't trying to flat-out rob you. In a way, I kind of hate to keep the money, since the kid did try (too little and too late) to satisfy me. On the other hand, I don't think he deserves to be rewarded for shady business practices, which could become a lifelong habit with him -- and we don't need any more of THAT in the skate biz. Instead, I'd like to donate the amount PayPal awarded me (which came out of this guy's account) to some charitable or educational cause, skateboarding-related if possible. Can anybody suggest one? Thanks.     Rate post 222723 !

Our newly acquired anti-virus software runs late each night and last night's run disrupted the system. I have fixed it for now and backed off on the A-V schedule to weekly.     Rate post 221288 !

I'm a student photographer at San Francisco State University(SFSU). I'm looking for a skateboarder who goes to SFSU and is crazy about skateboarding. I want to make a photo story on a student who spend a huge amount of time for skateboarding. (Long skateboard might especially be visual...) Mainly, I'd like to photograph a person who is skateboarding, but I' d also like to show several aspects of the person't daily; For example, photos of the person at school or work. So, if you are a SFSU student (or professor) and love to be photographed, please e-mail me. I'll definately give you the copy of the photos for free.

We've dumped the Symantec firewall in favor of a Linux-based firewall, and as of 930PM PDT Wednesday we're back on the air. I suspect a worm or trojan got through our old firewall and was flooding it with a storm of outbound traffic.. more than it could handle. The new firewall is far more powerful and has comprehensive logging, so if our server does have a worm it will quicky become apparent and eradicated. Thanks again for everyone's patience!     Rate post 215350 !

Well, the firewall firmware upgrade was not the answer as the POS froze up in 6-hours. I suspect some new kind of DOS attack (denial of service) but I'm not sure just yet. The $225 replacement router I tried this afternoon turned out to not support our kind of LAN so I'm still searching for a suitable replacment for the Symantec. In the mean time I'll attempt to keep the site up as much as possible via remote resets of the fw.     Rate post 215276 !

Well, the firewall seems to be working again after yet another firmware upgrade from Symantec (Note to self: never buy another Symantec firewall). Unsure if this is a permanent fix or if more drastic measures are in order.     Rate post 215229 !

Our firewall hung up again, but now I have access to reboot it remotely, so while it limps along until I can visit our co-lo, at least I'll be able to restart it if/when it next takes a crap. Thanks for your patience while we get this fixed.     Rate post 215207 !

Our firewall froze up Saturday afternoon preventing all access to our servers. We finally were able to get it remotely reset Sunday at 800AM. Expect some maintenance down-time later this week when I will (again) upgrade the firewall's firmware.     Rate post 215179 !
