LJ deprivation post

iroshi: I am left vaguely annoyed if someone says "That's so *cultural*!" as well. It's a very broad phrasing, and could cover a symphony by a dead European, something Native American, Chaucer, something Japanese, ... something that looks to be distinctive from any culture whatsoever. It doesn't require that the person saying it be able to identify what culture the thing is from, just identify it as something distinctive about a culture.

It also doesn't require that the person saying it make any in-words committment as to whether *they* like that themselves or not. I can imagine that it can be said in any tone of voice, from "I really hate it but who am I to pass explicit judgement on the culture of another" to "I like it but I haven't the foggiest where it comes from and I don't wish to risk offending you by guessing wrong or being nosy" with "People say this is important so it must be important but I Just. Don't. Get. It." in there too.


Yeesh. It started out slowly, but now I'm barely able to get access to anything on the web. Yeesh. I ping LJ. It says heya back. I try and update on Deadjournal. Nope. Ping, get them. Tracert, no soap; it quits after 10.10.8.10, which means that the problem is not on DeVry's internal network, or I shouldn't think so.

tracert and ping are now both failing. Well, for most things. I can ping www.phx.devry.edu, but not get to the homepage. And I can tracert it.

Y'know, I think I'll send this and go to another computer, because most people aren't having this bullshit.

I'd think it was a local problem - 10.* is reserved for local networks and if it's not getting any further than that, then it's probably the local gateway choking.

Alternatively, you might mean that it gets beyond the 10.* IP range then dies, which is different. :o)

Still doesn't mean that it's not local - I'd imagine that your uni would have a pretty large IP address block assigned to it, so many real internet-addressable IP addresses will be part of DeVry's network. The 10.* stuff is probably restricted to things like labs.

Probably; it stopped when I moved to another computer. I was a little peeved.
