Well whoever he is, he doesn’t want the rest of us to see it – "You are not authorized to view this page."
Sure that’s not a message from a filter or firewall on your end? Works fine for me.
lol, those are funny. Raymond, can you post something similar (I know it could be hard to remember your own quotes :) ) or have that guy dig up some old emails and expand that list. Would love to hear more of those ‘developer practices’.
My my, you do get a little crotchety at times, aye? Or maybe he just can’t tell when your humor has gone to 11 on the wryness scale?
Although I can see a great 10-best list of responses to "Why isn’t this Feature in the product?"
Speaking of crotchetting, I am beginning to understand how MSVs and other developers become positively snippy over the kinds of questions that get asked on forums like the one for VC++ Express Edition. The problem with being clueless, of course, is that we don’t know that we are and that there are things to do so our questions can have answers. I have no idea how to nudge people in that direction in a non-face-to-face setting.
Well, a lot of things you say are amusing. If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t read it. There are plenty of sites that are "helpful," including the msdn reference. I don’t make a habit (perhaps I should?) of reading the msdn reference on a daily basis as a break.
Tom – no, not from our firewall. It is a 403 from the server "IP address of the client has been rejected."
Maybe he doesn’t like people outside the US looking at his blog.
I have my collection of your comments. If only I could share them :)
Doesn’t work form me in Peru
HTTP Error 403.6 – Forbidden: IP address of the client has been rejected.
There were some ACLs left over from an anti-spam adventure a few years ago. I just removed them – sorry, I’m a dork.
From my DSL in the UK:
C:>telnet blog.ryjones.org 80
Connecting To blog.ryjones.org…Could not open a connection to host on port 80: Connect failed
From my webserver (server farm in the US):
% lynx blog.ryjones.org
Making HTTP connection to http://www.ryjones.org
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
Responds to ping from both machines, though.
You haven’t been slashdotted, have you?
Today’s User Friendly Comic (Feb 28) had a comic that I thought fit very well. "Dear A-list blog dude, please link to my blog, k? thanks – c-list guy"

I can’t access it, from the UK. :P
So all Ry needs to do is to quote this message to get a nicely recurisve data structure.
Go figure.
Because that would require work.
