Good Reads for the Day – October 6, 2010
Image via Wikipedia I find a few good articles to read every now and again and usually e-mail then out to my friends/colleagues but sometimes I want to go back and read them and cannot find the e-mails. So, I have decided to start posting them on here. Enjoy! I have been very interested in IPv6. You who read often may know this. I have been dealing more and more with deployments involving the new iterations of the Windows Server operating system and IPv6 is becoming...
Read MoreDiaspora….A New Look @ Social Networking
As most of you have gathered I really enjoy technology. And when I am not roaming around being a world class VoIP engineer I like to look in on projects that remind me of my days back in the lab geeking around during college. Yesterday I came upon a project that sparked my interest IMMEDIATELY! Diaspora I do not know how many of you think about the data we place out on the Internet for everyone to see. I too am guilty of this at times! Whenever we use Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn or...
Read MoreThe Afghanistan Journals Vol 6.6
So it has been about 30 days and I finally found some “dirty” Internet so I could post an update. Internet access is a prime commodity around here so we use it whenever we get a chance! As you can see here in the right column I have created a countdown timer running up till I return to NOLA. Time is clicking by! As you can see from the picture our living accommodations ROCK!

I have made it “half way” through my journey into Afghanistan. My first stop is beautiful Al Udied Air Base in Qatar! I have never been to Qatar for any length of time and am finding it to be quite nice. Let me catch you up on my trip thus far… Tiffany dropped me off at the airport in NOLA on Friday and I jumped on a plane to DC. I transferred to Qatar Airways and let me tell you…those planes are awesome! The movie, TV and music selection was awesome and the...
Read MoreIPv6 – The Journey Begins!
I have been working a lot with ARIN as of late and have been working more and more with IPv6. After putting some thought into it it I have decided it is time to go dual-stack at the house and start running IPv6 in my home. So I did some research today from my office and created a 6in4 Tunnel with TunnelBroker.net. I also found this great article on configuring your m0n0wall for use with TunnelBroker’s 6in4 tunnels. I will give it a shot when I get to the house this evening (before...
Read MoreNow you cannot even trust your copier…nor the Chinese!
Image via Wikipedia Today has been quite eventful… After a long morning of teaching the finer points of multi-homed BGP to a few clients I returned to my office only to find out that…THE INTERNET WAS NOT WORKING!!! Upon investigation of our disconnection I happened upon a much larger issue…the Chinese. Yes, the Chinese activated one of their super fun spam bots and started slamming out tons of traffic and, in turn, put everyone on the CBL (Compost Black List). As most...
