IPV6 Day is coming up or happened

June 7th, 2011 by admin
Respond

Apparently a bunch of companies in the internet business, in an effort to draw attention to the IPV6 vs. IPV4 address space limitations is having a special day. Since ipv6sucks.com fully supports ipv4, i have no clue if this site will be up that day, and don’t really care. enjoy.

Let’s cut down trees to build Hot Lanes on I 495 in DC

March 31st, 2009 by admin
Respond

So, i look out my office window.  Thousands of trees have been yacked to make room for more lanes on one of the worst roads ever, I 495, aka The Beltway that circles Washington, DC.  All the cloverleafs around route 7 and the beltway have been completely removed and now there are large empty spaces where the trees use to be.  Now i am not some crazy treehugger, but the Hot lanes concept seems like a waste.

The hotlanes have some additional lanes with the ability to pay extra and therefore get in the less trafficy lanes and speed to your destination.  There is no way this is going to work, and it hurts the little guy.  The people that live in Springfield, Virginia and commute to Maryland or Tyson’s corner are not the people that can afford the extra costs.  This is a stupid idea.  Bail on the stupid hotlane thing and figure out an equitable solution to the little guy and the rich folks.

Washer & Dryer Report Day 2

March 24th, 2009 by admin
Respond

So yesterday the washer and dryer showed up.  I bought an LG steam washer and dryer from Sears.  Overall experience?  10 out of 10.   Went in there, looked at all the models that were more or less in the same range of 1000 – 1400 per unit, and then ultimately went with the LG that was on sale for ~1049.

It was surprising that the other models were more, including Sears, Whirlpool, Bosch, Electrolux, etc…  I really liked the Bosch but it was like $700 more between the washer and dryer.  That is real money.  If it would have been say, $250 or less between the two, i would have gone for that one.

So I have washed everything in the house and now i need some more dirty clothes, so if you have any, mail them to me and i will wash and send back.  So far, this thing is awesome.  It is quiet, has more settings and you can turn off the beeper/ringer when it is clean, vs the old 1988 things we had.

I highly recommend LG so far…  I always have recommended sears.  They are just good.

Upgrade Time – Front Loader washer and dryer…

February 27th, 2009 by admin
Respond

Well folks… the old washer and dryer are getting long in the tooth.  Whirlpool?  LG?  Electrolux? Sears? Who knows anything about these and so forth…

We have a daily load with the two kids, plus you get the random smelly tennis and golf clothes in there from both me and the wife.  Kids have poo stained clothes now and then, plus their usual applesauce covered overalls, onesies, etc…

facebook will take over the web

February 26th, 2009 by admin
Respond

so, gradually, what little i did outside of facebook seems to be getting ignored or absorbed into facebook’s apps.  I’m sure i’m not the first guy to point this out.  Surely classmates/reunion/etc… are all going to suffer.  I think another one is linkedin.  As soon as facebook has a professional edge/area, out goes linkedin.  I guess time will prove me right or wrong, stay tuned and tune back in a couple of years…

Nanog Peering Survey Results – V2, Dominican Republic 2009

February 19th, 2009 by admin
Respond

Hello folks… I am posting the pdf raw version of the results from over 100 ISPs, etc… that answered questions to the survey i put out.  Basically we got a lot of networks from Europe.  That meant that some of the results when presented to the skeptical nanog audience was full of “i don’t believe Dtag was so far up there in traffic… etc…”  Well, that is because those skeptics now understand that the Internet is more than just their USA /Canadian isp traffic beliefs.  So welcome to the internet folks, it is worldwide ! ! !

Here’s the pdf file, i promise to do a better job on the interpretation of the results when i have time!  And thanks to Bryan Berg and Ben Kirkpatrick that helped a lot on it!  Peter.
