Thu Apr 17 17:50:15 2008 GMT: How 1and1 broke my e-mail

Sun Apr 13 16:10:56 2008 GMT: Lydiard Park, Canon PowerShot SX100 IS

I have added a few pictures to my photo album I took yesterday evening at Lydiard Park. Nothing exciting really, just needed to try my new PowerShot SX100 camera as I decided to retire my almost 8 year old PowerShot S20 this year.

Sat Apr 12 13:21:27 2008 GMT: IPv6 Support for NewsCache

I am currently implementing full IPv6 support for NewsCache. Source code isn't available yet, but a development version is already running quite nicely on my system. One thing I also noticed is that setting the TCP_NODELAY option (which NewsCache didn't use until now) makes the server much more responsive.

Thu Apr 03 19:01:41 2008 GMT: IPv6 Glue Record for edge.cmeerw.net

As domaindiscount24 now allows to add IPv6 glue records to nameservers, I have taken the opportunity to add an IPv6 glue record for edge.cmeerw.net. This is just another step in my ongoing struggle to get fully IPv6 ready.

Tue Mar 25 21:46:24 2008 GMT: SIPFwd 0.4

I released SIPFwd 0.4 over the weekend and managed to get the project listed on freshmeat.net to give it a bit more visibility.

Sat Mar 08 18:22:15 2008 GMT: Secure SMTP over TLS

Just an observation: why hasn't secure SMTP over TLS been adopted more widely, particulary among big mail hosters like Hotmail, Yahoo, Google Mail, GMX or AOL? It has been specified in 1999 (in RFC 2487 and is well-supported by popular SMTP implementations like Postfix and Exim.

Is it because the SSL overhead would be causing too much of a performance problem? But then, most of the mentioned mail hosters happily provide SSL-encrpyted POP or IMAP access. Maybe it's because it's a feature that's not immediately visible to the end-user (as opposed to encrypted IMAP access) and therefore the hosters just don't care.
