Boston

Well I was in boston - boarding the plane, several folks had cary on boxes of lobsters. It made me wonder, what animals is it legal to take on a plane as cary on? Clearly you can take bugs, cats, and dogs. What about scorpions, poisonous snakes ect. And how do the relative risks of butter knives compare to lobsters? Do the TSA screeners at airports have biology experts?

Anyway, you can imagine how much better I feel knowing that only fresh animals are legal.

PSTN, down again

My PSTN phone line has been down since about 10 am this morning. Bizarre thing is that 1) is still how power on the line, just no dial tone 2) DSL is still up. I did try dialing 911, it did not work. Six months ago or so it was down for several days.

Update - got fixed and working again Tuesday evening - downtime was about 56 hours.

If we estimate the MTBF at 5000 hours and the MTTR at 50 hours, we get a availability of about 99%. I would be embarrassed if my IP Phone was this flakey.
