Completing the ultimate come-back dream, it almost makes for an anti-climactic World Series.

Cogeco or Akamai screwing up?

I think Cogeco is acting up again. If it isn’t squirrels pulling cables out of the wall, it’s the monkeys that work there messing around with things.

At the moment though, I’m not really sure if it’s just them or it’s Akamai. I’ve been noticing that a lot of my google searches have been timing out, but I haven’t been doing much browsing so I didn’t notice many other things down. Today, a whole slew of sites are taking forever to load, including the Weather Network and Apple.

At first I thought it might be Google AdSense which a lot of them seem to use, but upon further research I figure it’s either Cogeco screwing up Akamai or Akamai themselves screwing something up. Akamai is the host for Google, Lycos, Apple and other major internet sites. They also used to host Yahoo and Microsoft. A lot of non-Akamai sites are screwing up because of AdSense.

Akamai has had a few cockups already this year though (May 26, June 15), so I wouldn’t put it past them. But Cogeco has taken 5 days to send a guy over to climb up a ladder, so I wouldn’t put it past them to screw up either.

‘High’ Fashion

You have to wonder what they’re thinking sometimes.

Quick update

Just a few things, first off, I changed the look of the things. I was sick of the old green and blue, this was a quick style sheet change to appease me. I have something else waiting in the pipes, but the CSS isn’t playing nicely, and I haven’t had time to sit down and fix it.

I started the practicum portion of teacher’s college this week, so I’m up by 6 every morning to head for Brockville. It’s been going well so far, it’ s draining mentally and physically, not unlike a lot of other jobs.

Lastly, it’s my birthday today. Doesn’t really feel like it though, so in my head I’m celebrating on Friday.
