From: Roger Burton West Date: 11:18 on 26 Apr 2007 Subject: Dear Google, It's so very thoughtful of you to link to files on our web site which are explicitly excluded from your spidering, on the basis that some other file somewhere else links to them and has a title that might possibly be relevant. That's why I'm now banning you from the entire site rather than just the bits we didn't want you to link to. Oh, and by the way, stop spamming that technical contact address (which only you have ever been given) with "how to increase your traffic"; we aren't advertising-driven like you, and our traffic increases quite nicely without your help. You've already done your best to kill USENET. Oddly enough some people don't see this as a point in your favour.
From: Roger Burton West Date: 02:16 on 19 Nov 2006 Subject: OpenSSL how I hate thee Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate) Why can't you verify it? Does it perhaps not chain up to the CA certificate at which I have just pointed you? Or maybe the expiry date is confusing you. But you're not going to tell me. Sometimes you will say "unable to get local issuer certificate" instead. "Unable to get"? The file's there; could you not read it? Was it the wrong shade of pink? Evidently I am supposed to know what's wrong by my Kewl Psychic Powerz. Still, I have seen how much worse the alternatives are. Hate. (And sleep.) R
