Hey DNR fans, I’m looking for a bunch of geeks to connect to a remote presentation and test the limits of my system. This Sunday at Noon EDT. If you have 30 minutes to spare you can participate. As a thank-you I’ll give you my RSS Generation software that we use at Pwop to generate feeds. It is a template-based data-driven system that’s very easy to use and modify for your own needs.

Here’s the deal. I want to see how many people can effectively connect to a machine on our network remotely with VNC (http://ultravnc.sf.net). This will have implications for future events and services which I am not yet at liberty to talk about.

To participate send an email to mdaemon@franklins.net with the words SUBSCRIBE stresstest as the first and only line. No subject is required. Send messages to stresstest@franklins.net once you’ve subscribed.

You’ll get instructions once you’ve subscribed.

I’ve been getting an automated phone call every day for at least 2 months on the Pwop phone line from a company called Allied Interstate. They are scam artists. Just google them or check out these complaints at complaints.com about them.

I could just change the phone number, and I probably will, but these guys deserve some good clean counter-harrassment for being so belligerent about scamming people.

Just read the complaints. You won’t believe the balls they have. I don’t want to break the law, but perhaps we could think of a way to make their lives as miserable as they are making mine. And, I just get one call a day. Some of these people get 25 calls a day.

Perhaps we could make a Mondays bit out of it.
