AirPort ♡ Free IPV6 From TunnelBroker.net

After signing up for a (free) account on tunnelbroker.net and creating a (free) tunnel with my ipv4 address as the endpoint I was able to easily configure my AirPort Extreme. View your tunnel, then click on “Example Configurations” and then “Apple Airport.” In TCP/IP prefs for my MacBooks Network/AirPort Preferences I have “Configure IPv6″ set [...]

The iPhone… Its not even out yet and everyone is drooling over it

And if they aren’t, they should be!  Ajax has long been the missing link between phones as a mobile computing platform and phones as a simple messaging device.  the fact is that there is a vastly larger poll of people willing to write useful web apps than useful java apps.  I would also argue that [...]

wordpress.com squeezed out another baby last night

DivShare, Day 1 (raw commentary)

I began looking at divshare a few days ago as a way to stor, save, and share my personal photo collection.  The idea of auto-galleries, unlimited space, flash video, and possible FTP access was… enticing.  But it’s tough to tell how something like this is going to work on a large scale… So… after messing [...]

Most people wont care…

It’s still hanging in there like a monkey on my back.  Speaking of colds… Vista is off to a cold start, security wise, isn’t it? Already a privilege escalation vulnerability letting local restricted users become local admins.  “UNBREAKABLE ORACLE VISTA!”

Kudos to the openfount guys

I’m really very impressed with the speed at which the Openfount guys responded to my last post. I definitely give Kudos to Bill for being on top of things! I’m running out the door so I’ll keep this short and sweet. He’s right, I did generalize databases into InnoDB, but thats because it’s what I [...]

Infinidisk Update

I mentioned a while back that I was going to be playing with the S3 Infinidisk Product.  What I found in my testing was that this product is not prime time ready.  There was a nasty bug which caused data to be lost if the mv command was used. The scripts themselves were unintuitive.  They [...]

Google & Microsoft Working Towards the Perfect Datacenter

We all new that this would happen, google and microsoft going vying to build the biggest field of silicon trees.  But what does this mean, and does it tie in with amazons latest service?!  I think that undoubtedly it does. There’s talk about a last man standing game when it comes to internet bandwidth.  And [...]
