Wed Aug 12 19:47:14 2009 GMT: 3 Mobile Internet
I just had to try mobile internet myself now. So I got a 3 mobile broadband dongle, a free 3 SIM and topped up to get 150 MB Internet usage for 90 days.
It all works fine under Linux and there doesn't appear to be any port blocking on the Internet connection - OpenVPN and even SixXS work fine. Of course, it's all a bit slow with pings at around 120 ms (and mostly just plain 3G - I have only sporadically seen HSDPA connectivity), but it's fine for low-bandwidth usage to stay connected.

Even a ridiculously long queue couldn't prevent my from getting into Bristol Museum today to enjoy the Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition. It's really highly recommended.

There was an interesting post on the nanog mailing list suggesting that most of the IPv6 traffic seen on the Internet is actually NNTP traffic to freely accessible (via IPv6 only) Usenet servers (XSnews and XS4all).

I have now implemented DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) signing for outgoing mails on edge.cmeerw.net. So watch out for the DKIM-Signature header in my e-mails.
This was possible thanks to the great work of Tom Kistner for implementing proper DKIM support in Exim (my experimental Exim packages for Ubuntu 8.04 are available from my .deb packages page).
Sun Jun 07 11:27:00 2009 GMT: HTTP/1.1 10 years on
HTTP/1.1 has been specified 10 years ago in RFC 2616 and you would think that such a fundamental protocol for the web would now be fully supported.
But it appears that some parts of the protocol (i.e. chunked transfer encoding) are still not widely supported: lighttpd, nginx and Squid are still not supporting chunked transfer encoding in POST request data.
It's really annoying that after 10 years you still can't use some of the great features of HTTP/1.1 if you want your application to work with widely used web and/or proxy servers.
