Blueyonder was totally screwed earlier, their service page said there were "Nationwide problems with the broadband service", and my home net connection (With my Internet radio, forums, etc), www.telewest.co.uk and www.blueyonder.co.uk all went down every 10 minutes for 30 seconds to 5 minutes at a time...
Now I can't get an IP for 4chan.org, nslookup says it times out, but OpenDNS works. So I went to their "Contact us" page. Here's what it says:
Quote: Please give a full description of the problem you are experiencing, include give a full description of the problem you are experiencing, include traceroute and ping results for slow speed issues and any extra information that you feel may be helpful in resolving the problem
Quote: Your IP details (IP address, DNS server addresses, subnet mask NIC MAC address) and full details of any error message (if any) you receive with this problemI mean come on. What the hell? How is the average user going to get half that information when their Internet is playing silly buggers?
Anyway, I'm fully expecting them to come back and say that the sites been blocked and I'm not allowed to use OpenDNS or I'll be bent over and raped.
Also, this annoys me:
int foo = 1 + 2;
int foo = 1 - 2;
int foo = 1 -2;
int foo = -2;
int foo = - 2;
int foo = 1 + -2;
int foo = 1 + - 2;
That's all ok in C/C++, but it causes my lexer to spazz out and read "-2" as one token. Which is correct, sort of. So now I have a horrible hack in which the lexer reads "-2" as "-" and "2", and when the expression parser comes across a "-" where whatever comes before it isn't an int, float or integer, it stuffs a "0" in.
So int foo = 1 + - 2; becomes int foo = 1 + 0 - 2;
Eww...
Also, GDNet = fux0r for the past 2 or 3 hours. The server's been closing the connection instantly. What's going on? [sad]
