Following on from my early success at get IPv6 running, I soon hit a significant issue: firewall logging.
Now this need not be a “blocker” for everyone, but I take my firewall logging duties quite seriously…!
shorewall IPv4 logging
Currently I have IPv4 shorewall configured to log not using the standard syslog mechanism, but […]
With IPv6 slowly becoming more visible, it was time to get to grips with it. While absolutely not essential (yet!) it seemed like a fun idea: my ADSL provider offers native IPv6 in parallel with IPv4, and my hosting provider is running an IPv6 beta. So I can do native IPv6 end to end […]
Several newspapers report today (e.g. here and here) that a British judge this week chose not to jail a violent criminal because he was religious.
The judge said “You are a religious man and you know this is not acceptable behaviour.”
The fact that the judge in question is Cherie Blair, wife of former-prime minister […]
Pope Benedict XVI is apparently set to visit Britain soon. However he has also decided to attack the laws giving gay couples similar rights to married (heterosexual) couples, as a variation on the church’s more general disgust with anyone who does not share their own twisted sexual views
Aware that this is unpopular (the laws […]
I love the Internet. Not for the more typical use of finding what you need to know quickly and easily, but rather for the effortless ability to tell you what you did not need to know.
In the space of ten minutes or so today I moved from fruit juice to triclavianism, via the Cathars.

More fine customer service from the French arm of a large company…
BMW France – you just lost my business. A few weeks ago my wife bought a new car. A BMW. Fine car. Superbly designed and tremendous quality. As a car, we are delighted with it.
Next year I’ll be replacing my car. I […]
As detailed in previous posts, I have a server at home which I use to download and seed torrents (and, before you ask, yes most of the torrent are indeed legal!!) The torrent-side of this server needs to be remotely accessible and manageable to me from a number of places, so some sort of web-interface […]
You know how it goes: you discover a company that pleases you and can’t stop raving about it to friends and family. I’ve been like that regarding Amazon for some years. These days I mainly used Amazon France: books, toys, cameras, you name it. In the last couple of years I’ve spent more than 2000 […]
This week’s hot security issue in the networking world is sockstress.
Nasty little vulnerability, found in all known TCP implementations. Given the right circumstances (read up on it) it allows a very neat DoS attack to be mounted on a large destination with minimal attacking resource. And the really elegant part is that it exploits […]
Yesterday I realised Chrome is going to be successful.
Chrome is Google’s web browser. It first appeared just over a year ago. For much of that period I’ve been pretty lukewarm about it. Thought it was more of a symbolic gesture than a serious attempt at muscling in on the browser market.
To a technical […]
