It’s strange: this happened just a year ago, but sometimes it feels like it was ages ago. Maybe it just depends on the perspective: For Elena, this year made quite a difference: from 9 months to 21 months of existance, or from zero to one years of life. For me it was just the step from 38 to 39 years. No big deal.
I almost forgot: one of the reasons I was in Amsterdam was the DNS-OARC Workshop. I gave two presentations there:
An update on the post-Kaminsky patch statistics concerning the Austrian recursors.
Stephane asked me to be on a panel regarding what Registries should do about Conficker (and similar threats). I presented our point of view with these slides.
This one started with the crossing in the center.
The Internet Community thanks the RIPE staff for their dedicated work during the RIPE and OARC meeting:
As a followup to Aaron’s talk at Linuxwochen Wien, Claudia Glechner from ORF visited the CERT.at offices to interview us.
The resulting article is now online at futurezone.orf.at.
For this one I used almost all of our tracks.
One of the three authors has retired.
One has left the company.
One has a new assignment within the same company.
Three years after the “Dallas treaty“, when most of us have stopped believing that this will ever happen, we’re now finally in AUTH48: Combined User and Infrastructure ENUM in the e164.arpa Tree
[UPDATE, 2009/05/05]
The starting point this time was a series of switches.
Dear Evanzo,
the contact emails in the whois records for the domains you manage are there for a purpose: If there are troubles with these domains, the responsible people can be contacted in order to get the problems fixed.
And there is a good reason these whois data is not just a blob of Ascii, but structured data: Scripts can parse the records and e.g. automatically send email to the right address.
Getting back autoreplies stating basically “please use this web-form” is not going to cut it. We will not special-case our scripts to fill out web-forms just to accommodate your setup.
You, and your customers will simply not get our Mails regarding defaced Websites hosted by your service.
Your decision, your loss.
I tried a different starting point with this one: a series of switches branching off a central piece of track. The result was a very tight, squiggly set of tracks.
