Happy 10th Anniversary To The Java Report
— Gabriel Malor

Rusty Shackleford has been putting out quality content for 10 years. Well, y'know. For most of 10 years. Some of it. A portion, say. Maybe like a bit.

As a fellow MuNuvian and a certified Old Man of the Internet (10 years in blog time is a lifetime), best Moron wishes to Rusty and the Pet Jawa Report. I think that's what it's called, right?

5 Also, isn't my new hash the best one ever?

Posted by: Gabriel Malor at January 20, 2014 04:46 AM (AZZS+)

6 I can see a hash race starting. Morons trying out hundreds of devices to find great hashes. Then a blackmarket selling the devices to fellow status obsessed morons. I'd expect that an internet enabled wine fridge is probably hiding a hash variation on (moron).

22 Doesn't it depend if your service provider uses static or dynamic IPs? It does, but for the vast majority that means you have a dynamic IP. Usually you have to pay extra for a static IP.

27 So I don't know how to take this next piece of news... I've started writing a new book, as anyone who has joined the AoSHQ Writers' Group knows, and I had Mrs. Tenther read the first ~1000 pages. Her response: "If I didn't know that *you* had written it, I would of that a woman had." Now, the POV is 1st Person, and the main character is a woman. So I can take that as highest praise or... not.

Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Ah, F It. at January 20, 2014 05:09 AM (PYAXX)

28 If it was a dynamic IP, your hash would change regularly. If it doesn't change, you have your very own IP address. But if you turn off the modem, that will release your IP address and it can get used by someone else and/or the modem just grabs a different one. It's possible that if you just turn it off and right back on, you might end up with the exact same one. But most of us don't own our own IP addresses the way a business does.

33 How do I reset my modem? I am clueless. Depends on your modem- usually there will be a "reset" button. However, if it's a combination modem-router, you might mess up other network settings if you do that, so be warned. In Connecticut and now in Missouri my IP never changed after modem reboot or prolonged power outages. It's not quite that simple. Modem reboot or power outage isn't exactly the same thing as a modem reset. Most computers (PCs at least) have IpConfig- a utility which lets you play with your IP settings. On thing you can do is reset your IP settings- which explicitly releases the "lease" your PC has on its current IP address and then asks the relevant server for a new one. "Modem Reset" is more like that. Sort of. Or your ISP could have assigned you a static IP. That's possible to.

34 "Being stuck out there for months is probably not going to be very fun, but at least they are Russian so their supplies will include plenty of vodka."

The Russian research bases in Antarctica are famous for their perpetual months-long chess matches, right up until someone goes berserk with the fire axe.

This apparently happens with some regularity.

For true long duration stints in the ice, I think you want Finns. They'd all come out in the spring having said a grand total of eleven words to each other during the winter.

35 I guess I'm mis-stating the technical stuff a bit. But most of us seem to have a static IP address because our modems are always on. I've had two IP addresses in 4 years here. It only changed when the ISP made some changes and started using different IP addresses. So it's a semi-static IP address. Common law static IP address??

39 Allen, I owe you comments on teh book. Been enjoying it, just having fractured time at the PC and not being able to settle down to read. Silly short people keep trying to TALK to me...

Posted by: Mama AJ at January 20, 2014 05:20 AM (SUKHu)

40 So it's a semi-static IP address. Common law static IP address?? It's probably a "persisted dynamic IP address." Short version- it takes time (that is: costs money) to assign you an IP address. Not much, but every millisecond counts. So rather than assign you a new IP every time your modem turns off or loses connection, the ISP maintains a directory, of sorts, associating your modem with a particular IP address. It's not "static" or you'd be able to plug that IP address into your modem and it would never change- even in a prolonged power outage or if you reset them modem. But it doesn't change very frequently (as you note- when the ISP does some maintenance perhaps, or if you're offline long enough (often measured in days)), and as long as you log on regularly, the "lease" gets renewed- so that, in theory, you could keep the same one forever, even though it is technically "dynamic."

47 So I can take that as highest praise or... not. Posted by: AllenG Take it. & Congrats.If you can't get into a character's head who isn't just you in disguise, you won't be writing good.

I ain't no scribe, but for a thing I did, the voice was a young girl reciting induced memories from an older man, who occasionally had his consciousness hijacked by extraterrestrials. I don't know if anyone reading could follow the changes, but by the time the girl came back to herself, I felt like I'd been through it as her.. or them... whatever. (By the way, I know you'll all want to go back and read all my fine bon mots dropped at the end of the morning thread which I posted as the room was emptying... :/ )
