  1. Firstly Appearance, this knife sure is a beauty, the blade has a wonderful, non-reflective non-stick, Titanium Nitride coating make it a lovely shade of gold. The handle is a lighter shade of a browny yellow color, looks like it would just disappear into sand. The handle it self has the look and feel of the gunner style grips.

     

    Functionality, The Knife is a liner locking style meaning, that when the blade is drawn one side of metal inner lining slides inward under the blade holding it out, to retract the blade you push the liner outward and fold the blade back in. It has a spur on the back side for fast flicking, and ambi-dexterous thumb studs for one handed flickless opening. On the back side of the handle is a small recessed metal lever this is the "LAWKS" system, when pushed up it rotates in and prevents you from folding it back in until pushed down, making the knife in a fixed blade knife.

     

    The Blade, is made of AUS 8 Stainless with a rockwell scale hardness of 57-58, has a clip point shape to it and serrations at the base of the knife.

     

    Usabilty, the clip and be placed on either side's top or bottom allowing you to carry it any way you'd like. Will clip into a MOLLE Rig, or pretty much anything with a strap, I keep mine with me at all time cliped onto the edge of my pocket. With practice and be drawn and opened as fast as any switch blade.

  2. Led tell me you live on Long Island and play at Coram. Although if your in New York you might want to know that Cousins Paintball in NJ also does Airsoft games and is opening a new I belive Airsoft only feild (as in PB players shall ne'er tread on its sacred ground), called Baghdad in Jersey and they promise alot of CQC action.

  3. The short story is that the hosting company were running on cisco systems (or a derivative) and decided to upgrade to Foundry. All their tests went well before the upgrade on their test segment, but when they implemented the upgrade across the board it went wonky.

     

    All went well for a brief period, then for reason as yet unknown they suffered a huge meltdown in services. Routers started crashing, systems rebooted mysteriously, interfaces reset, as a result packets were getting lost everywhere and it all went pairshaped pretty darned quick.

     

    I really can't explain it all as customers we're fed a sanitised version of events (as you'd expect). They've been working on the problem this month but as of yet there's still problems.

     

    The server is all lovely and happy in it's corner it's just that the hosts managed to replace all the routers and core networking systems on their side of things with a pile of crud.

     

    For anyone non technical it really boils down to three points:

    1. It's not my fault

    2. the electrical leprechauns are drunk (again not my fault)

    3. It's not my fault

     

    Whilst technically that's only two points, I felt that the 1st was so important that it needed restating. :)

     

    My genuine hope is that they sort the problems out finally this week to get their systems back to 99.95% uptime as it should be. Technically speaking we shouldn't ever have more than 20mins downtime a months, this month however has been somewhat different. Here's hoping that they fix all the issues soon.

    Wait did they only update their router's IOS or did they get new hardware? Cause Cisco routers only really like the Cicso IOS. Wow two years of networking might have finally payed off.
