Comcast, Boo!!

I just switched from Vonage to Comcast Digital Voice and noticed the following under Status on digitalvoice.comcast.net portal:
Firefox is currently not playing back voice mail messages correctly. Please consider an alternate browser such as Internet Explorer or Safari while we address the issue.
Seriously?

Secret ipv6 sites…

If you’re ipv6 enabled, stuff the following into your hosts file and let me know how it goes.

2620:0:330:5::10 www.mozilla.com

I finally got the replacement hardware (Netscaler 9000s) in Amsterdam up this morning. During our Tuesday night maintenance window I’ll be switching DNS.
For those late to this saga, take […]

Who needs IPv6 anyways?

The 6bone is dead. Long live IPv6.
(Don’t know what IPv6 is?)
I’m no stranger to v6 - I played with it years ago while at 3Com (hi Cindy!) and actually deployed it natively, along with an automatic 6to4 tunnel relay, at the last ISP I worked at. However, I think I was on the […]
