June 2nd, 2007 by Vasil KolevAbout time to write here…
We’re done with the Network Security lectures (the last recording is being uploaded right now). Marian spoke on firewalls, DrFrancky gave a good lecture on social engineering. Monday there will be some consultations, Thursday the second test, there’s one check of course papers, and we’re done.
I read “Light at the end of the barrel” by Yuz Aleshkovsky in one sitting – great book, there’s nothing more to be said :)
Thursday in the lecture my laptop’s hard drive gave away, so I spent Friday at Vlado’s to have it replaced. Through the night I left it to test the new drive, because there were was some suspicion that it might be because of the interface – I’ll go through it for a few more days. They also replaced the keyboard (the old one was pretty worn out and a bit broken) and now it’s really weird – the keys aren’t worn out :)
(it was extremely weird to spend a day without the laptop)
The work week was medium hell, even Friday my phone kept ringing, although I had no way to od anything.
I also had one really idiotic encounter – I got asked to host aniventure.com, I created an account, etc., they tested it, and the only thing left was to move the domain. I sent freedns.ludost.net and eos.dobrihc.net for nameservers, and my people forward me the following response (translated as close as possible to the original):
Hello, these are no NS server :( URL of dns servers start with ns.some_thing.com (net, org or oth.) Please, send us similar, to redirect the domain. They have to begin with - NS !!! Regards,
I answer – these are working nameservers, I use them for a ton of things, after which the next forwarded mail is:
If there's something to particularize, please give him our phones! +359889xxxxxx +3592xxxxxxx I repeat this is not DNS! These are name of servers, but not NAME SERVERS. We need the dns-es to configure the domain. Plamen Tsvetanov
So I call in the morning the guy, who tells me – ” We configured it, we saw that your other sites are like this” (domains, not sites, but whatever). I ask – OK, and is it written anywhere how the nameservers must be called – he said some other crap, after which I just hung up. No comment…
