You gotta love PTA

Hats off to the technical wizards of PTCL, I just lurve them. Sometime last week, someone decided that youtube needs to be shut down, because of some content that endangers Islam or something like that. So the PTA issued notices to the ISPs to block access to youtube.

Apparently someone screwed up big time. According to a report by BBC, some brilliant person renamed the DNS entry of youtube to point at some other website. This entry was replicated by other DNS servers around the world and all mayhem ensued.

God I love these incompetent morons. Youtube was inaccessible for a couple of hours, Google screamed blue murder and now, Youtube is back, even to the guardians of Islam who aptly enough live in Islamabad. I hope Google sues PTA/PTCL/PCCW and takes them to the cleaners.

Keep dreaming.
