A few months ago, the powers that be at my work decided to close port 6667 on our network. That's the IRC port which I was using daily to keep up with the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a perfect way to get around it so I feel really silly when I have to read about Edd's stepping down as editor of XML.com especially when my friend Kendall is going to replace him.
Edd also gives a look at what he is and will be doing over the next few months. Some great things to look forward to!

Posted by: jason cosper on July 3, 2004 01:42 AMNo, they haven't shut down SSH so yeah I could easily use a shell account and connect via console.
You wouldn't happen to have any extra ones laying around, would you?
BTW, sorry I missed LayerOne. I had some family commitments which popped the week before.
