It’s almost here!

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]

Stupidity at Evanzo

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.

Nokia 6120 Classic and A1 Broadband

When I got my company cell-phone two years ago, I opted for a Nokia 6120. The reasoning was simple: Nokia was supposed to have a decent user-interface, the phone could act as a 3G modem for my laptop and run various simple applications like Avantgo.

Well, …
