Fri Aug 26 02:39:17 2011 GMT: Hair @ St. James Theatre on Broadway
Wed Aug 24 03:25:38 2011 GMT: Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark @ Foxwoods Theatre on Broadway
I have just been to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway. I was not too impressed by the story, but the special effects and high-flying stunts were quite nice. And, of course, I managed to get a discounted rush ticket (as regular prices just seem to be ridiculous)...
Sun Aug 07 14:30:30 2011 GMT: Using OpenVPN over ICMP
My mobile broadband ISP (shame on them) thinks it's funny to throttle UDP traffic in the evening - which does affect my use of OpenVPN (over UDP). So what I have done now (as ICMP traffic appears to be unaffected) is hacked together a small utility to bridge between UDP and ICMP (using some configurable ICMP type). So far it works quite well, although it's probably still a bit rough around the edges.
Wed Jul 27 20:04:39 2011 GMT: Monetary policy and banking fragility @ LSE
I have just been at a public lecture about Monetary policy and banking fragility (also see here) at the London School of Economics where David Miles tried to explain some of the challenges faced by the Monetary Policy Committee.
Sun Jul 24 19:27:40 2011 GMT: DNSSEC Fully Enabled for cmeerw.org
Finally been able to add a DNSSEC Delegation Signer (DS) record to the parent zone (.org) for cmeerw.org. This means that DNSSEC is now fully functional for cmeerw.org, see DNSViz for cmeerw.org or DNSSEC Analyzer. BTW, I have also taken the opportunity to add my OpenPGP key as a CERT record into the zone.
The only bad news is that you still have to jump through some hoops to get all this set up - mainly because the list of registrars supporting DNSSEC is still fairly small. Therefore, I had to transfer cmeerw.org to a new registrar (GKG) to be able to add the DS record.
Wed Jul 20 20:02:01 2011 GMT: I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59 @ LSE
Went to the I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59 Q&A session at the London School of Economics today. Although there weren't any deep insights (as expected) into Google, it was interesting nonetheless.
