How many of you will try to go on line at say 12:15 am on New Years? And how many of you think the internet will work?

Nope. I shan't be on-line. The net isn't made to be one solid entity as its purpose and intent was to scramble communications about leaving nuclear hits without a means to take the whole down. I think some parts of the net will be caught in a glitch crises.

I'll try to give the phone lines a rest on New Years Evil, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people watching the "roll-over" from their web-browser.

Im going to be drunk as hell, but im going to be streaming audio to ALL THE WORLD from my SCANNER of all the police/emrgency frequencies i can get here in LAS VEGAS :)

Also...i hope everyone does't try to "see if everything still works" all at the same time....that could get ugly.

I will be online, its my job. If our network goes down I am the only one who can fix it all (every machine, all O/S, all networking).

We have setup a internal web-based bbs and created a DNS system which will point over 200 of the most popular web sites dns entries to our bbs server if the connection to the net goes down. If people dial in and try to go to places like cnn, aol, yahoo, etc they will resolve back to us and inform the user the net is down rather than give them a bad dns error. Hope we dont have to use it.

I myself will be sound-a-sleep at that time, as Im every New Years. I will roll-out of bed 7am est. and let my sensors fire-up. The first thing I will sence is if the heat is on. The next thing is to go for the Tee-Vee, does it come on? Are all the channels up and running. That will be my start to the day. All of this assumes that there was no great panic up till that point. Then I will go to this forum and see if it is up and running as hope-fully the coffee is up and brewing. In my little cube I have Tee-Vee and radio and scanner. I will monitor everything in my neck of the woods and will report truth- fully any events worthy of note. I believe many who have participated on this forum for many months will do the same. We all know who we are per our many questions and answers, whether or not we are trustworthy. If nothing is happening, I will stay for a while and listen to the rants of the Polys. But If the S has HTF I will report in if I can, and help if I can for as long as I can...---...

I figger on being up all night. I am going to be on the ham bands and monitoring the shortwave bands all day, concentrating on the rollover creeping across the world. I'll have a band plan by then of major and minor stations across the globe. A sampling of some island/oceania stations that should be isolated and have enough primitive tech to stay on the air.

This is predicated on there being no nukes, bio attacks, invading Chinese soldiers, UFO's, etc., coming down the pike.

If nuttin happens, I'll be on the net in the AM laughing it up with my 'ol cyber buds. If the worst happens, see ya in the next life!

I'll be online, with one window on this forum, from early in the evening until I go to bed sometime past rollover.

-- Gus (y2kk@usa.net), October 16, 1999.

yeah, you may be able to keep your window open if you don't get that agravating: THE SERVER IS TOO BUSY!!!! notice that keeps popping up all the time. (What's up with that?)

I know how it happens, just wondering WHY it happens here....

-- DavePrime (the-tv-guy@hotmail.com), October 16, 1999.

I'll either be making or delivering a pizza. 8-)

-- claude (cjwarner@yahoo.com), October 17, 1999.
