katster's closet

Yep. Another DDoS. Fucking lowlifes.

Keep an eye on things at status.livejournal.com.

Unless I get bored enough to attempt to tunnel X from herring, consider me not able to answer until this dies down. Again. Because it's always the major university traffic that gets halted when one of these things happens.

Anyway...I need to get to bed. See you all around, I'll probably update randomly from inside this client. (sclj rocks, and it is of the camel. it also works well on my herring command line.)

anyway, yeah. I was going to tell you all about nearly losing my mizpeh coin, but I found it, so no worries there. So to bed with me. G'night.

Okay, I'm back.

But I'm playing with a tricky question. I'm working on a project for class. In the bootstrap, we have to check to see if the socket is occupied or not. I see how to do this through catching the IOexception, but there's got to be a cleaner method to check and see if the port is occupied or not. Anybody know how?

Thanks in advance for the information.

[edit: always check your web references. katster was an idiot and wrote .txt instead of .html as an ending. Fixed now.]

Nasty depression. I've been going to classes and otherwise fuctioning.

but at what price functionality? if I'm burning myself out by using all the energy reserves I have, what good is it to be doing what I'm doing?
