 Enviar a email | Because of one faulty NIC card, 17,000 were stranded at LAX en General |  Por Xeni Jardin
el 15-Aug-2007 | Xeni Jardin:
The U.S. Customs computer outage that left nearly 20,000 international flyers stranded on the tarmac for hours last weekend? That whole sprawling mess -- so bad, some people got sick and had to be taken to the hospital -- was caused by a single screwy network interface card on one single desktop computer in LAX international terminal. Snip from LAT story:
The card, which allows computers to connect to a local area network, experienced a partial failure that started about 12:50 p.m. Saturday, slowing down the system, said Jennifer Connors, a chief in the office of field operations for the Customs and Border Protection agency.
As data overloaded the system, a domino effect occurred with other computer network cards, eventually causing a total system failure a little after 2 p.m., Connors said.
"All indications are there was no hacking, no tampering, no terrorist link, nothing like that," she said. "It was an internal problem" contained to the Los Angeles International Airport system.
Whew. For a minute there, I was thinking this could be the work of Anonymous!

| Christmas Card from Ethel |  This is the only item of correspondence between Harry and Ethel, his wife, that has survived. Harry would surely have treasured this. How it survived, how it got home? Sorry, I have absolutely no information on that. Click on the images for a larger view. The "silk" card is quite impressive.

| 9th August 1917, Card to Connie | | This flash of colour was tucked in the grey, drab bundle of letters. It's difficult to tell when it was sent as there's no date or postmark. It must have been included with one of the letters and the content suggests that it must have been sent about this time. I admit to taking a liberty by implying the precise date.The little card was inserted in behind the flap in the muslin front.
