Experts?

Any experts in the room?
at http://www.aroundmyroom.com/news I have a test running for a perl script. This script should read and display a normal text file. It does not. What’s going wrong under this Cobalt based-system?

Help.

Yahoogroups down

Reading your sources gives you more info :-). My mailinglist mixfreak.org was offline also .. Using it almost 4 or even 5 years now.

::Scripting::
YahooGroups has been down for most of the last 24 hours, bringing much of our work to a halt, of course, at the worst possible time. News.Com ran an article, but it doesn’t offer much detail on the source of the outage or an ETA. They’re merging YahooGroups with their chat communities

Paul Fletcher: “FYI, the Yahoo Groups outage was caused by the RAID on the main Oracle database blowing up. The hot standby has been offline because of a bad CPU, so the database had to be rebuilt. Which takes time with 40+ million users.”

It’s starting slowly again

MTN quits SMS service

The end is here. MTNsms will stop its service 5th of March.

hundereds if not thousands SMS’s I’ve sent through this network. More than one year ago my girlfriend and I did send +40 or even more messages on a daily basis. (There was a time the number of messages to be send was unlimited).

Together with a good friend of mine we build the SMS Agent. Using the service of MTN we used ICQ and MTNsms to send quickly and fast SMS messages with a W32 application. Almost unlimited! Cool testing and usage. People went crazy. So much SMS messages they did receive from me [lol]

This was COOL. Than Dutch network providers did quit the service (they did not accept MTN sms’s anymore (due to costs). So that was my ending of using MTNsms ..

People of MTNsms: thank you! You took care of free communication between my girlfriend and me during my 3 month trip in Australia and New Zealand.
You connected me to people I had lots of fun with. It was awesome. And yes the service worked!
