This is Drew Perttula, creator of the barcode door entry system. Many of you have emailed me asking for where I moved the site. In my bulk answer (which about 200 people have received by now), I included the following text:
I give everyone on this Bcc list permission to mirror the page with these conditions: you have to put my name and email on it as the author, and you have to indicate on the page that you're mirroring is http://bigasterisk.com/automation/door (not [the address of the moved page], obviously).
What do I get? digital_gods (to whom I did not give any special additional permissions) mirrors my page, alters it with a comment that readers will not see that includes the secret address of the moved page! He didn't add my name to the page either. This doesn't make me mad; I'm just stunned at the way someone copied my work without attribution and without following my easy instructions about the URLs.
digital_gods, I hope you'll edit your mirror the way I asked. Everyone else, go look at digital_gods' page I guess, since all you want is to see my photos. I want to go to bed, so I'm not going to mess around with links and servers any more tonight. I hope I am still able to receive all your emails, as I've been receiving lots of interesting stories over the weekend.
I don't see the relevance. One crucial feature
of internetworked computers is that we can search
and scan automatically. There's no such thing as
"the safe is nowhere to be found"-- that's a RL
quality with hardly any analogy in the world of
computer security.
But what does it mean? If you're out to measure
uptime, you're either up or rebooting. So if
MS has got reboots down to 20 seconds now,
that suggests that they can stay up for only
23 days.
I suppose.com's fail faster than that
these days, so maybe no one notices.

He *must* have typed it with capslock? If only there
was a way to decode the transformed password . . .

The "99.999% uptime" MS ad is awfully gross.
