Flag controversy at UCI

Joe — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 09:56:00 +0000

The recent hubbub about banning all flags from a small portion of the UCI campus, not surprisingly, brought out all the xenophobic, racist, and ignorant trolls in the country. These idiots obviously have never attended a university. And not surprisi…

CCA/NAC soon gone from UCI Resnet

Joe — Sat, 28 Dec 2013 10:19:00 +0000

I have heard that Cisco's CCA/NAC is soon going to be retired, since the contract expires. Cisco actually has not actively marketed this POS for a long time. They know that it is crap, only the likes of Resnet needed years to come to that conclusion...…

UCI ResNet "data loss"

Joe — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:53:00 +0000

I've got word that UCI ResNet "suffered a major data loss". This is of course a lot of fresh egg in their faces, given that they always think they are all-knowing, and ignore or brush off people like me who point out the folly of their ways. Like in t…

Resnet's Reddit AMA

Joe — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:50:00 +0000

I came to know about an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit that UCI Resnet started. Apparently, Resnet wanted to keep this low-key. But then, somebody there asked about my blog, and I saw the blog hits, and went to check it out ;) Obviously, the Resnet p…

Another CCA and UCI Resnet fail

Joe — Wed, 02 May 2012 04:11:00 +0000

It seems that Microsoft has updated their "Security Essentials" tool, and the Cisco Clean Access (nowadays called NAC) POS that Resnet forces on everybody in UCI Housing does not recognize it. This is of course not a surprise to anybody who knows how C…

Upgraded Perl script to log into CCA/NAC

Joe — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 08:51:00 +0000

It has been 3.5 years since the last update to the Perl script to log into CCA. A kind soul recently fixed it to work with the current CCA installation at UCI Resnet. Grab it here. As always, know what you are doing and use at your own risk.

UCI Resnet is back to being brain-dead

Joe — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:55:00 +0000

Way back in 2005, I wrote about UCI Resnet's completely brain-dead instructions to "set up" a router (actually, it would result in a complete screw up of the router.) Obviously, they haven't learned from that episode. They are now requiring the same b…

UCI Resnet is as incompetent as ever

Joe — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:51:00 +0000

Apparently, UCI Resnet doesn't understand their own network... They seem to have some network performance issues, and instead of actually getting people who understand networks, they decided to just cap the bandwidth for everybody... Needless to say, t…
