The Challenge Rambles and riff raff about all this and that

Those odd little IT experiences

Not too long ago I mentioned my ISP and Google had some sort of incompatibility and I was de-google-ized for about a day.

(A sidenote to this note: I'm too darn dependant on Google, I need to have feeds and other things moved over to alternative services...)

That has been solved. Well, sort of. Whenever I log in to Lenovo's VPN from home I'm kicked out of google. Pages just wont load. I disconnect and it works like a charm.

ipconfig /flushdns does not work. I stopped windows XP's caching services. I switched my router's DNS servers to OpenDNS (which, BTW, has boosted my browsing speed significantly) I don't know what else to do.

Thank god I have three ThinkPads.
