The End of the Internet?

"Industry planners are mulling new subscription plans that would further limit the online experience, establishing "platinum," "gold" and "silver" levels of Internet access that would set limits on the number of downloads, media streams or even e-mail messages that could be sent or received."

They are trying to ban IM

Ever since my co-worker started talking about the upcoming ban on IM clients in the office I set out looking for away around it. Even though I am one of the IT guys here and I could just ignore the nonsense my co-worker was talking about and go on my merry way I figure I had better be nice. So being nice is to continue to use IM but just use it in a way that any eyes peering over my shoulder wouldn't know what in the world I was doing.

I ran into Meebo in its early stages but my attention span then jumped to some other new shiny tech gadget, so I forgot all about it. I can't remember how I stumbled upon it again but I'm glad that I did. If need be I can talk on Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, MSN, Jabber, or GTalk all from the comfort of my tabbed browser. What it lacks in fancy icons, audibles, and animated emoticons in makes up for in the This-is-just-really-cool department...not to mention useful for those who need ways to get around the ban of IM clients wherever they are at. If you need help with that just check out their forums for some advice.

So don't just try it because I say its cool, try it because you want to stick it to the man!!!

Could Not Parse File

I had an issue this morning when I tried to do an update with yum

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up Repos
dag 100% |=========================| 0 B 00:00
//var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty

^
//var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

^
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: dag
Error importing repomd.xml from dag: Error: could not parse file //var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml

I did a search and found out that it pretty much had to do with the file "repomd.xml" that it was downloading from the DAG mirror, so I just switched mirrors in my /etc/yum.conf and everything started working as it should have.
