Kiwiblog Problem Fixed Add this story to Scoopit!.

Many/most readers today have probably been getting binary jibberish for a few hours. There was a problem with a page in the cache which caused this.

Many thanks to those who took the time to let me know, but especially to Adrien who actually diagnosed the problem and sent me the solution to fix it, so I just had to pass it on to my ISP.

It reminds me that one of the great things about blogging, is the range of skills out there you get connected to.

    I thought it was bipolar gibberish, but like I said before, I never read his posts.
    This same thing happened one evening last week. I just assumed that Helen’s shock troops had stormed ‘Chateau Farrer’ and put a rifle butt through his transmitter.
    Why is it when it happens, I imagine the crew of the VDS all stood around a big switch cackling, and all wearing tin-foil hats?

    whereas with uou rex..

    it’s just outright bullshit/lies..?

    (c.f…your farcical claims that smoking pot causes impotence..?..eh..?)

    ..hate asians do you..?

    right there with peters when he was delving those depths..?..eh rex..?

    that was ‘your time’ in new zealand first….eh.rex…?

    eh..?

  6. Rex Widerstrom (4,529) Says:

    Yes that’s right phil, I hate Asians. As I’m sure my Asian friends would tell you. Not that NZ First’s immigration policy had anything to do with Asians, other than those who (along with more than a handful of South Africans, some from other African nations and even a few from Europe) were using NZ citizenship as a “back door” into Australia or otherwise abusing it. But oh, I hate Africans and Europeans too. Martians, if they exist (and now they’ve discovered water there it can’t belong before they evolve and then want to start emigrating). Red bastards, I bet they don’t know how to drive their tripod death rays properly and clog the bloody Auckland roads.

    I hate everyone phil, especially mindless obsessed stoners whose question I’ve already answered.

  7. philu (10,919) Says:

    still more bullshit..eh rex..?

    ..you were in new zealand first at the height of the asian-baiting/bashing days..

    ..don’t try and rewrite history..

    ..you were up to your kneck in a party that catered to the most base/vile of human emotions..racism..

    ..and it is splashed all over you..

    ..and dosen’t wash out..

    “..my asian friends..’..?..

    yeah right..!l

    “..Not that NZ First’s immigration policy had anything to do with Asians..”

    that’s bit of a laff..!..eh..?

    Do try to keep up, phil. I ran policy and communications from 1994 till the end of 1995 when Winston (for reasons best known to himself) took Michael Laws under his wing and put him in charge. It was then that things turned racist. If you don’t believe me, perhaps you’ll believe the Green Left who wrote, in May 1996:

    Led by Winston Peters, New Zealand First has over the past two months run a blatantly racist campaign focused on attracting the anti-Asian vote.

    By March 1996 I was completely unable to influence Winston as, indeed, was anyone but Laws. This, remember, is the man who’s fond of phrases like “fat brown slug” – just one of many instances of overt racism. In contrast, I challenge you to find a single racist statement made by me. You’re awfully fond of name calling, phil… just like a “reactionary old fart” from NZ First, in fact.

  9. philu (10,919) Says:

    and ‘snowy white’ before the evil laws appeared..eh..?

    none of that nasty racist stuff..?..eh..?

    that’s a bit of a laff..!..eh..?

    You seem to like “a bit of a laff” phil. Since I’m too tired to go round in circles chasing your unfounded accusations, keep yourself occupied with this instead.

    Good to have kiwiblog back and running properly, DPF!

    Oh FFS, quit trying to besmirch Rex W across multiple threads, when you’ve got plenty of *cough* skeletons in your closet.

  13. Nomestradamus (2,223) Says:

    By the way, DPF, I experienced that “Kiwiblog problem” a couple of days ago – but, since then, it was only a periodic problem for me (ie it was around for longer than you may have realised).

  14. OECD rank 22 kiwi (2,528) Says:

    Now how about fixing New Zealand’s economic problem?

  15. Nomestradamus (2,223) Says:

    OECD rank 22 kiwi:

    This is how DPF put it:

    It reminds me that one of the great things about blogging, is the range of skills out there you get connected to.

    Now that raises a couple of very intriguing possibilities.

    If (like Philu) you believe in Sensing Murder then you could improve New Zealand’s economic fortunes – simply by changing your pseudonym to “Kiwi in the top half of the OECD”. Even if you don’t share Philu’s conviction in spiritual powers, it’d still make a lovely tombstone to remember Labour’s political misfortunes by.

    And then we have the leftie brigade (Phillip John/Roger Nome and Philu being the prime examples) who routinely allege – one way or another – that DPF is a paid blogger in the pockets of the National Party. In fact, Philu alleged this only yesterday, under the guise of poetic licence. Let’s go with that theory for the moment. Kiwiblog is easily “the most-read political website in New Zealand” (The Standard’s bloggers of course claim otherwise). So, given DPF’s all-powerful status as New Zealand’s uber-blogger, that must mean the election result is already a foregone conclusion.

    What do you say? :)

    Amazing how twisted some of the posts on here have become.

    And all on the back of an apology for normal service being interrupted.

    YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don’t.

  19. OECD rank 22 kiwi (2,528) Says:

    Nomestradamus:

    I believe you are on to something there. We can improve New Zealand’s economic fortunes collectively as New Zealanders by working our Chakras, exercising the Chi and allowing magic moonbeams to pass through our navels. Economic nirvana awaits.

    Or I could be talking complete and utter Feng shui. ;-)
