A Podcast from Network Administrators

MakoStorm writes "The guys over at wehatetech.com have been working really hard on their Podcast. "After This Week in Tech", and others. It was time for a Podcast that others might enjoy. With a bit of ranting, whining, and over all dislike for the dreaded stuff we need to fix every day." The site also offers an open forum to dump your horror stories in an effort to prevent technophiles from going postal.

Work is so tough.

But I got time to make a podcast! ;-)

Someone has to get to it....

BOFH podcasts....now that's a match made in digital heaven :)

Or how about a website that reads other sites and podcasts them automatically? You supply a url and the 'bot stufs it where iTunes can grab it.

The minute the guy that repairs my bike started to babble about how podcasting was cool I knew it had no future. Bike-guy: "Did you know you can download music and radio stations from the interweb and play it whenever you want? LIVE!" Me: "Live? As in, the radio people wait for you to turn on your MP3 player and then start their show?" Bike-guy: "YES! Is that not fantastic?"

Horror story.

So, I created this site, podcast, forums, submit your own horror story. Spare bandwidth of my company, not much, maybe 1000 hits a day, server working at leisure, no problem. And then some moron submitted the URL to Slashdot...

First, the corporate site went down. Then I got a call from the ISP that we're taking up 99% of their bandwidth and their customers are complaining. Manager called and told me to stop it at once or I get fired. So I shut the server down, but it didn't help, hordes requesting documents, storm of retry packets. The router began overheating and entered thermal shutdown mode, cutting off most of the LANs of the company. Boss showed up, just nodded watching as a glass of coffee I left on a tiny hub connecting the router with the main modem starts boiling, took his phone, called the CEO and said "Give them all a day off. We're slashdotted." and then looked at me and in terribly calm voice announced: "You. Fix that."

Very true. :)

Perhaps there is a handy slashdot argument script doing the rounds.
