Downtime

Pardon the downtime. I gave away my old webserver and router to my friend Ferri last night, as a bit of a going-away present. I was getting kind of tired of the thing running in my room all the time anyway. So no net access until I find a good hotspot in the area, or the resident network administrators update my MAC address record in their little router, and email that they changed it. These dudes are so paranoid about security that you can't change your mac address or they lock off your port, and you have to go fill out papers and stuff to get it back on. So no sense bothering to plug the thing in.

The last days have been bike riding, hanging out with Ferri, and taking apart and rebuilding my bike to see how everything fits together (and if it will fit in a box). There was a nice little campfire party on the Elbe in there somewhere, I'll toss up some pictures as soon as I can get my laptop plugged into the net again. Isn't life annoying without internet access?

Why don't you just change your MAC address? Supposedly you can do it in MacOSX but I can't get it to work. So you an figure it out and let me know...
and no it is not the simple ifconfig that we are used to...
