Is the internet dumbing us?
by Watchman 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Every time a new tech launches, Man craves it. Granted it takes a while to implement for example the automobile transition from Horse and Carriage. But once it picks up.. e.g. the iOS devices, Man goes GAGA! What's the internet doing to us? Open discussion here. Is it making us a smarter community? more knowledgeable? more intelligent or just more flick information dependent? The general and most widely used internet terminology i know of today is.. Google it! heck, i use it too. But question is, how many of us actually read a book in this glorious day of the information highway? And yes, i do know it's a friday night. Watchman. -- ...and I shall shed my light over dark evil. For the dark things cannot stand the light.

Recovering data from laptop hdd
by Steve Muchai 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hi dudes & dudettes, A while back I asked about my options to recover data from a my laptop's HDD which crashed. It's a HP Pavilion DV6000. Anyway, I did get some helpful offers including one from a guy who asked me to take him the HDD in an external HDD enclosure, but I was too busy+traveling so I didn't have the time.. It's been a while since, and I can't seem to find that email, it's buried under tons of others. I'll be back in +254 next week and want to give it a try - I'd really appreciate it if the dude responds to this so we can link up. BR, S -- This message represents the official view of the voices in my head.

I could ping my gateway on and off 2. sh arp | in 41.x.x (my gateway network) was always returning "Incomplete" - no MAC address 3. my provider was picking a mismatched MAC address from my router interface - it was off by a last digit:-) Finally my provider's engineer logged into my router and came up with a solution: They created a vlan id matching what they have on the router on their end. So out vlan5, in vlan787 and the link started working supa. Changed the tunnel source to vlan787 and the tunnel shot *up* in no time!!
