Web Networks’

June 2, 2000 by Michael Boyle

highly-coveted domain – web.net – was hijacked the other day by an unknown person who sent an unauthorized change of information email to Network Solutions, which they promply executed without following proper procedures. So an innovative, old-guard non-profit internet host who works extensively with other non-profits, charities, and is a member of the Association for Progressive Communications, was left high and dry for a few DAYS – as were their clients.

I bet Network Solutions makes excuses rather than apologizing. I wonder when they’re going to realize that this isn’t just a game, this is people’s livelihoods, their vision of the future, their business. A bank doesn’t start sending my statements to someone else without a lot of information and confirmation. I wonder why Netsol thinks they should offer any less security?

I was directed

to a site about traffic, its behaviour, and how to defeat it through Matt Haughey‘s site. It’s really very cool, in a geeky way, even though I don’t really have a commute to work.

C|Net ran a story

June 1, 2000 by Michael Boyle

yesterday on a new genre of search engine being developed under the name InfraSearch. It’s just a bare-bones proof of concept now, but the idea is very exciting. They’re moving everything out to the periphery, away from the center. Centrifugal, not centripetal like client/server. Relationships, not just information. Very very cool.
