It’s old news, from beginning of December 2008, but I’ve only just come across the posting that Dirk Hardt of Sxipper is joining Microsoft. For more information go here.

Hacking programmable road signs
Thanks to KC from my MSc gang for this ….. I guess its time the transport authorities improved their security!
Many citizens might notice the construction digital road signs on theside of the road while driving, indicating important information suchas road closures or traffic delays…..These digital road signs can be easily compromised…..

IP v6 is annoying!
I know we need it, but still I can’t work out how to troubleshoot my PC when my connections just don’t work. With IPv4 it was so easy, but this long ip alpha numeric ip address, and how the hell does this fit into the gateway address and the subnet mask. It’s beyond me. I suspect that my PC tries with my router in v6 first and when it doesn’t work reverts to v4…. although to be honest I have no idea…is this a sign that I’m getting old… you know the old generation of techies…?
I guess I should read that book that’s been sitting on my shelf for the last 5 years…. you know the book that has IP v6 on the title 😉
