you are quite right. It is. thank you for the reminder to kill off old
habits and build a new old habit.

that is my plan when I replace the firewall in the main office. There is
a lot of Cruft in the old firewall including multiple holes for things
people "used to do" but they don't dare close them because they might
have to do them again. I wish IP cop was sufficiently sophisticated for
this purpose but I think the UI gotten rather crufty since I last worked
on it.
You see, I work in the land of myth and magic. A little bit of Hollywood
right here in Boston.
and WTH is this?

I've got to learn Lua and how to debug in this environment better. I
should probably explain. I was one of the founding members of the IPCop
firewall. We put a lot of energy into making it simple and easy to use
so that it was harder to make mistakes. I apologize in advance if I
offend anyone but the current UI for Cerowrt/openwrt is not shaped by
workflow but by the need to expose everything.
I'm hoping that I will be able to demonstrate what I mean by an error
resistant UI sometime over the next few months. In the meantime however,
I'm going to try and learn enough so I can be useful fixing small bugs
and reducing chaos enhancers in tools like uci.
And I just saw your other mail about BCP 38. What is it?
