Comment on MIT.edu and IS&T Fail by C. Scott Ananian

We’ve had no trouble hosting hunt at MIT in the past. Really, you just bring a single budget server in (the hunt owns one) and plug it into an ethernet jack in your HQ. Your hunt should be completely static anyway, it doesn’t need anything more than that (if you know what you are doing). This is how hunts have been run from 2003 (Matrix, which I sysadmin’ed) to 2012 (B&B, which Chris Ball, Novalis, and I sysadmin’ed). I remain baffled by the 2013 hunt’s decision to host on Amazon EC and bypass MIT’s bandwidth and generosity.

On the other hand, this year started an unfortunate trend of MIT charging hunt rather large fees to use W33, 26-100, and other spaces on campus. I would think MIT should commit to funding the hunt at least to the amount that it is going to be charging the hunt for space.

I really like the use of “INTERNET” in all caps, without an article. Talk to you later on INTERNET!

Hi,
I’m wondering if the “distributed load testing framework” mentioned in the blog post will really pop up as open source sometime soon?
Thanks
Sascha

I prefer to use cream cheese in place of the peanut butter and skip the second toasting…Mmmmm.

There’s a variation on this I enjoy… substitute grape jelly for the bacon and skip the last toaster oven step.

Hi. I wanted to let you know that some parts of your website are hard to read for me, as I am color blind. I suffer from deuteranopia, however there are other types of color blindness that will also get problems. I will understand the largest part of the web page OK, and those elements I have issues with I am able to comprehend by employing a custom browser. However, it would be nice if you would bear in mind us color-blind folk when carrying out your next website redesign. Thank you.
