Sun Sep 28 09:03:23 2008 GMT: Mozilla Newsgroups
Looks like Mozilla got it completely wrong with their newsgroup setup. On Mozilla Development Forums they state that "The mozilla.* hierarchy is a local news hierarchy only available through news.mozilla.org and is not propagated to other Usenet servers. This is by design, in order to both help eliminate spam and provide slower lag time between posts and replies without having to wait for propagation", but also "We do share them with Google Groups to provide a web access method and archiving."
As Google Groups is by far the biggest source of spam on Usenet today, you already get all their spam, and propagating the hierarchy wouldn't make much difference spam-wise. In terms of propagation delay, this is nowadays usually within a second or two, so that doesn't apply either.

I have now pretty much completed the migration of my web site to my new hoster. And it's apparently working (otherwise you wouldn't be able to read this).

Creating a web page with a couple of (hidden) iframes is now called research according to this article on New Scientist. And if you work on it in a team, you can even present it on a security conference.
I really do hope that I miss something important here, because I would have thought that these basics should by now be well understood (and most people should have heard of the slashdot effect by now).
Sat Aug 30 08:36:59 2008 GMT: Domain Transfer
Why is it so difficult to transfer a .org domain from one registrar to another? To start with, you need an authorisation code, reply to a couple of authorisation e-mail and then wait for 5 days. After 5 days, I was then told that the transfer has failed (refused by current registrar). Half a day later, I then got an e-mail that the transfer has finally succeeded. I really do wonder if this process is the best way to do this transfers.
BTW, I transferred cmeerw.org to gandi.net, mainly to use their mail service (as I want to move away from using AOL's IMAP server to one located in Europe).
