- IPv6 Privacy

I'm a big proponent of getting IPv6 out there, but not everyone shares
this opinion. A lot of people are happy to stick with IPv4 and all of
the horrid NATing nightmares this introduces despite there being such
big wins when using IPv6. Some issues it does introduce though need to
be dealt with: The big compatibility issue, which encompasses OS, network stack and
application support as well as…

With no other outlet, I've previously been linking to interesting posts
and stories from my Google Buzz account. Not many (if any) of them had
additional commentary from me, so I'm just dumping the links here for
any interested parties (in chronological order). You'll notice a lot of
them are DB-related, as that's what a large bulk of my time this year
has been devoted to. Linux not quite ready…

One last post before I hit the sack... There's this thing called IPv6.

pretty awesome certification course. OK, it's not "official…

status that we have endowed upon them in the…

I've always enjoyed writing (and occasionally
presenting)
technical documents, whether that be official documentation, wiki
articles or blog posts. Fortunately I was encouraged to do so at my last
place of employment, Anchor
Systems, but unfortunately
the documents in question (while publicly available) are not mine so
remain on their site. I thought I'd link to them from here though: High…

Every man, woman and child has a blog already but I've held off long
enough. Mostly my intention is to record interesting (to me at least)
ideas, thoughts, information etc somewhere that is reasonably
accessible, and not only to me. Google Buzz doesn't get enough
readership, and most of my friends don't really care about the
tech-related garbage I post to Facebook. So if you are reading this…
