...whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 
The slings and arrows of stupid enterprises,
Or to take arms against a sea of stupidities,
And by opposing, end them. To code, to sleep -
No more... 

This little piece of poetry lets Shakespeare spin in his grave. Sorry for that, old pal. But this is what came to my mind when the person reponsible for the "server room" in our village sent me the picture below.

More pictures are to come, I guess. By the way: Directing some efforts into the network problems I mentioned earlier, it was finally possible to convince my ISP that something was wrong. Using the older, insecure firmware on our devices seems to do the trick. The vendor's technicians are working hard on that issue (and the correspondence I collected is quite interesting. As soon as the bug I discovered is found in their code, I will upload some of that stuff).

Long time, no see. I have finally updated my FreeBSD section by adding a HOWTO concerning the installation on a Thinkpad R50e. More updates are to come, especially something about the UDP problems I mentioned earlier.
