Don’t be careless. Add the following to named.conf:

// version statement for security to avoid
version “NOYB”;

// optional - disables all transfers -
// slaves (single host in this case) allowed in zone clauses
allow-transfer {none;};  or if you have to transfer use allow-transfer {W.X.Y.Z/32;};

// optional - disable all recursive queries
allow-recursion {none;};
recursion no;

Save and don’t forget to restart the service.

At the age of 27 I have a lot of gray. It makes me look old but that doesn’t phase me as much. Read more about premature graying here. I do like the comments below:

“Gray hair is a crown of glory,” one proverb states. “It is gained in a righteous life.”

I agree… my life has been righteous so far…

If I were a Jedi knight, I would have turned to the dark side as a Sith lord because of news like this. There is a part of me that believes the theological values of Christianity:

“But only at the Creation Museum in Kentucky do the dinosaurs sail on the ship — Noah’s Ark, to be precise.”

What the?!

I see the lack of morale nearly everywhere that I go. In fact I saw this with someone when she would fume about how inept the leadership at her place of work was. In all fairness, she was somewhat of a b**** so I’m not sure how much of what she said was true. Moving on… I seem to have developed a bad case of Monday’s because of my current work schedule.

Bad case of Monday

So I thought to myself, if a company wants to keep employees from leaving the company for other competitors, they should do it the American way, not the Communist way! I.E., by competing for their “business” by creating a nice place to work; not by being lazy and attempting to create red tapes or threaten them with backwards policies that make the place of work intolerable.

So you want to know why your web hosting company doesn’t provide phone support. Many companies (including web.com) are now telling customers to email for support. Here is my take on the issue: technical support is not well-suited to the telephone. Continue reading »
