I’ve been hosted by NEXCESS for a year now and I must say that it has been an absolutely fantastic experience. The site has been running smoothly without any problems, but what impresses me most is the tech support: every time I’ve contacted them I’ve received a reply from Greg Swaney within five minutes!
Just today I submitted a support ticket, asking them to update the list of IP addresses allowed to SSH into mgeisler.net. I submitted it at 01:58 PM and at 02:03 PM the address was updated and I can now login again. At this speed email tech support is just as good as calling them on the phone, it is much more like chatting than doing email. Very cool, I would definitely recommend NEXCESS to anybody who are looking for a webhost.

I’m the teaching assistant for the Thursday class in dSik (the security course at [DAIMI][]) and the deadline for handing in the first assignment is tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. But so far I have only received five hand-ins… So I either have a very small class (yeah, then I won’t have to spend so much time correcting the hand-ins) or I have a class that likes to wait until the very last moment. Probably the last… I normally did my hand-ins like that :-)

The other say that I don’t blog enough, so let me blog about this: we went to see Ice Age 2 today. The movie was fun, especially the little mascot Scrat trying to get hold of his acorn. The scene where Sid is kidnapped by mini-sloths who worship him is also very good, but most of the laughs were made by the crazy Scrat.
I also didn’t particularly like the ending which was very happy and predictable. Of course there would be a happy end, I knew that, but it was just a bit too much IMHO. I haven’t seen the first movie in quite a while, but I think it was a bit better.

Hurray for the Internet! I’ve managed to bring my computer back online after roughly a months break. My new connection is a 2 Mbit StofaNet connection — a nice upgrade from the 768 Kbit connection we had in Switzerland and I’m happily using it for installing my [Debian][] system!
It’s nice finally to have my computer online again — I can check and answer mail using the web-interfaces, but I somehow don’t get that much work done without my own computer. I hope that will change now ;-)
