I have just started a threads community on reddit to cover topics such as multithreading, concurrency and parallel programming. Feel free to join if you are interested.
Sun Aug 30 18:49:44 2009 GMT: Skypephone S2
Last weekend, I got myself a Skypephone S2 to get some of the more modern mobile phone features. While it's not a full-features smart phone, it does include a limited web browser that appears to work quite well for text-only content. And as it's called a Skypephone, I have now finally created a Skype account (with the usual user name), so you might be able to reach me via Skype on my mobile phone - it's just a shame that it's not a Sipphone.
BTW, I also got the bluetooth connection working to my Linux laptop for using the phone as a HSDPA modem.

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).
