Phone Codes
Ever get weird and wonderful calls/texts from numbers you have not heard of. Some may be part of scams, so you could google that first. Anyways if you want to know about phone codes for Britain, there is the UK Telephone Code Locator. For international codes, there is kropla and countrycalling codes
Computer News
A few news items grabbed my attention including a Swiss hip-hop site that was apparently unwittingly serving kiddie porn and the phone phreaker who was finally jailed for 11 years (I wonder if his telephone privileges will be wavered!) and his background is rather exotic
Ping time
Here some references on the wonderful command that is ping from inetdaemon, computerhope and Microsoft.

Random Musings - Day #96
Lincoln
Currently in the Cathedral city of Lincoln. The Cathedral itself is on a hill and fortunately I am staying on the hill at the Bailhouse hotel, which has amongst other things an outdoor heated pool (though I did check it was rather cold) and free wifi. Mind you, my room doesn't some of facilities mentioned on the website (e.g. dvd and tea facilities). The restaurants and cafes in the Bailgate seem upmarket than the ones down the hill in the city centre. In fact there were a couple homeless people sitting outside shops. So quite the variety there. I went and ate at Fourteen and had a lovely soup and sausages/potatoes.
Who is Bill Bailey?
In nearby Nettleham, there is the Bill Bailey Memorial Playing Fields, which is home to non-league Nettleham FC. I was thinking surely this can't be named after the all-round funny guy/troll/klingon Bill Bailey. He's not dead yet. Sure enough, it isn't. Bill Bailey was born in Somerset! Another amazing fact is that Axel Rose is also known as Bill Bailey.
Home Office Porn
The Home Office website had a link to a porn site caused by the fact the external link's domain expired and got bought by a different dubious company.
Solaris
0xdeadbeef (which is can be a hex value if you wish) looks like a good place to gather and demonstrate vulnerabilities with Solaris systems.
Tennis
Looks like Laura Robson may have suitable competition in the years to come in the form of 14 year old Madison Keys won on her WTA debut.

Random Musings - Day #33
Snowed under
I looked out last night and a foot of snow wow. But today, it's been an absolute disaster getting around particularly in the south east of the UK. London transport was stuffed with no bus services and all tube services with delays or partial suspensions except the Victoria line and that's only because it is one line that is completely underground. The snow evidently got to the Internet too. Not only the trains were suspended but it looked like both the South East Trains (No suitable nodes are available to serve your request) and National Rail websites were suspended or at least experiencing heavy delays!
I remember way back in January 2004, I was getting back from work in Quinton, Birmingham after it snowed. It was so icy, the main road into the city centre, Hagley Road was completely blocked. No cars were moving for 3 hours. So I decided to walk from near near enough Quinton to the city centre, which is about 6 miles. This seemed like double that as it was very very icy. Throughout the journey, not one car moved! However, it took me another 3 hours to get to town. I didn't get to the train station until 11pm and I had to get home with the night bus in London.
The thing is, the snowy weather was expected and the country should have been prepared. For example, I have not seen in any salt-gritting.
Weather watch
Obviously, keep your eyes out on the weather. Such weather sites include Metcheck and Met office.
Rickrollin'/Rick Astley
The phenomenon that is rickrolling took another turn in the form of Barackrolling. Yes, it's Barack Obama singing Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up". Coincidently Astley has signed up on the 80s here and now tour.
Superbowl porn
I find it funny when porn magically appeared on the tv screens towards the end of the superbowl.
Nurse suspended for prayer
Something a little controversial is the case of the Nurse that asked if she could pray for her patient. The patient declined. Next day, nurse is disciplined and suspended for her indiscretion. The patient had remarked to her superior about it. That she wasn't offended other patients maybe offended. Fair enough if the nurse was ramming in faith down the patient's throat. But that wasn't the case. The authorities are being very insensitive as it looks like another one for the secular world... I'd love to know what the patient has to say for herself now, though.
