The lols of the banks - Why oh why


Most banks run a simple system for tellers or ATMS.. but no. Today I was getting some lunch in Bellerive on my way home when I thought damn, I need some cash. Closest machine was an ANZ machine. But it had an error and was blocking the screen. Good old Windows background programs.

Maybe it was monitoring our habits? Did some break in? No it just died, as it does sometimes. Makes you wonder though, any machine that is valuable or mission critical should be looked at with security in mind and reliability. Windows is nowhere near as reliable as some, but if it gets infected with a virus like some other atms have, money can literally be made or transferred..

Downtime - relaxation and broken stuff

Well the weekends here. Couldnt sleep past 8, did nothing all day and one of my best mates is back from his trip into Germany/USA. Have not broken anything since last weeks install of a new HP Proliant server in a clients business (break as in my boss cutting my telephone cable for testing etc) yet the Linux box is still broken...

Other news, uni assignment and presentation time is here for a game we are going to make a prototype out of called Project: Rubicon which will be done shortly for Tuesday.

Planning on a beard shave and a nice haircut sometime Monday or Tuesday and to work on others.. yay.

Till next time or tomorrow

When the system fails - a tale of lovehatetragedy etc

So I got a new domain name for a project we are doing and used godaddy to sign up for it. They took my money with ease and it is there on whois. Time to setup the nameservers for the site, which will be hosted on www.eightyoptions.com.au (shameless plug ;)). Failure to set it. Page cannot be found, huh? System is broken. Logged in and out, no dice.

So here I am using Opera under Windows having issues to change this last tiny detail. Guess Opera hate ASP as much as I do. Call up support and get talking with a Yankee and he tells me to try IE7 (not 8, it is too broken). So I try it, click on the page and wallah. It actually works to my amazement. Set the details and log back in using Opera and what do you know, it works... I smell a helpdesk quick fix on the account issue after he dodged my question of why it would not redirect. That and the ads are insane. So here we are, waiting for the nameserver to update and to see my new creation spring to life. That is what Ukko was about, but more details in due course. Now its time for L4D. 

Just had another look, the domain dashboard is gone which did lead to the error page and the problem, I knew it was something fishy :)
