Ammyy.com is the same. Mediation is necessary in most cases where you cannot configure firewalls. Any conclusion? I also found ntop / n2n which seems ok and easy.

]]> Comment on David, Brady, and nebulizer by dlh http://www.metamusing.net/weblog/2011/09/19/david-brady-and-nebulizer/comment-page-1/#comment-132807 dlh Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:30:51 +0000 http://www.metamusing.net/weblog/2011/09/19/david-brady-and-nebulizer/#comment-132807 A little context here: Brady has been sick for over a week. It started as a fever which got almost to 104 and had us in the doctor's office last weekend. He seemed to improve, but then he got congested badly, and now the congestion has moved to his lungs, sending us back to the Dr last night. He hasn't been sleeping because of this and neither have Susan and me. That's all the bad news. The good news is, the Dr thinks he has Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which pretty much every kid gets by the time they hit 2. It's more common in premature babies, and can be more dangerous, but all things considered the Dr thought he was doing fine and would recover without assistance...after a couple weeks ;-( The nebulizar can help breathing in ~20% of the affected kids, so we tried it. If you can't tell, he *hated* this and screamed in ways I have never heard him scream, while I kept him pinned for 15 minutes. It really sucked, but a half hour after we were done he had fully recovered from his trauma, and he actually slept through the night last night in his crib.

We were headed for the mid-town tunnel in NYC when I was in my early 20's and a work van with two guys on it was beeping constantly at us and weaving in and out of traffic, gesticulating towards us. We did what most new yorkers would do and concluded 'we got to get the hell away from those freaks!' and you spent the next several blocks trying to put distance between us without much luck. Somehow we realized there was something on the roof of the car, and it turned out to be your little black satchel you used to carry with your cash and bank cards and so on, attached to the car via the little handle on it which was trapped in your door.
