Fri Jan 08 20:52:56 2010 GMT: Acer Ferrari WLAN Update

I have now been able to successfully connect to a public wireless LAN under Linux with my Acer Ferrari, so the WLAN issues mentioned appear to be limited to this specific ad-hoc network configuration.

BTW, Swindon is to become the first town in the UK to offer free wireless internet to all residents. And quite interestingly, BT has now revealed that it is planning to upgrade two exchanges in Swindon (Blunsdon and Toothill) for fibre-to-the-cabinet.

Sat Dec 12 13:24:57 2009 GMT: Offsite Backups

Famous last words (from codinghorror): "I had backups, mind you, but they were on the virtual machine itself :(" (also see reddit).

BTW, I am currently backing up via webdav to mydrive.ch using my own webdav scripts to compress and encrypt the files on the fly. It's completely free for up to 2 GB of data...

Mon Dec 07 20:34:26 2009 GMT: Opera IPv6 Update

From further discussions on the opera.linux newsgroup, my understanding is that IPv6 has essentially been disabled on Opera (for Linux AMD64?) because they can't figure out when to use IPv6 and when to go for IPv4 only (because the machine might not have IPv6 connectivity).

Tue Dec 01 18:38:13 2009 GMT: Opera IPv6 Bug Reported

Based on initial feedback in the opera.linux newsgroup, I have now filed a proper bug report (DSK-272658) for the IPv6 issues I am seeing in Opera 10.10. Let's see if this will be worked on or fixed...

Mon Nov 30 20:51:55 2009 GMT: No IPv6 in Opera 10.10

I just noticed that IPv6 support in Opera 10.10 is completely broken (or maybe has been disabled or whatever) - at least on Ubuntu 9.10 (for AMD64). This is really disappointing - and maybe even time to look for another default browser (ELinks still works fine, so it can't be the setup)...
