Scribblings of a Techie
So, with about 10 mins of reading and 1 min of work, this site is now available with both IPv4 and IPv6. Thanks Bytemark for making it so easy, and of course to all the software stack that just works. If you want to test and ensure you’re using just IPv6, you can browse to ipv6.james.rcpt.to, which I have only published a AAAA address for.
Next up; update my Log3NF Apache module to understand IPv6 addresses as well as the IPv4 if currently does.
Nothing but idle watching as two narrow boats go down a lock under the DLR at Limehouse.
Note to self – when setting up putty, change the “Default Settings” profile to turn on Agent Forwarding: Connection -> SSH -> Auth -> “Allow agent forwarding”. Also, on servers you will be forwarding through, edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config, and turn on “ForwardAgent yes” for either all or set hosts needed.

Hello Virgin,
I have a smart phone. Its mine – I paid for it outright, and I use pay-as-you-go for cell service. Your web site says I can get “Unlimited web access” for 30p/day:
So… why did all my credit disappear. Well, it appears that when I “surf the web”, the Virgin call center seems to think that this is just “Facebook”, and downloading anything (even over HTTP) is not included. In truth, it seems that for Virgin, Unlimited is a mere 25 MB:
I’ve made this a little larger (150%) to ensure you can read it!
Sorry, but “unlimited” should be measured in “gigabytes” these days, not megabytes. Its 2010, not 1990. I’m using Maps, reading email, potentially trying to watch YouTube (which is delivered over HTTP – which Virgin call center doesn’t seem to think is the web. Indeed, the mere fact that the data would have to be downloaded over 3G is a limit in itself for fair usage purposes. *sigh*
