HE.net IPv6 Certified Sage

Vegard Hansen — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 19:16:29 +0000

Boyaka! I just got my certificate from HE.net, and I’m currently certified as “Sage”, as of now the highest level of IPv6 certification. Is your home network IPv6-enabeled?

Who are you, mysterious man?

Have you ever noticed how chain letters always contain an awful amount of misspelled words? Have you ever noticed how they seem to evolve over time? Now i finally have proof that there must be some guy, agency or other Non-Biological Extraterrestrial (NBE) that oversee all chain letters and make sure that they never stay the same.

So far I’ve noticed that the changes are small and often very discrete. The following picture is from a Norwegian chain letter that was on Facebook, posted by two of my friends. So it’s safe to say that the origin of this message is from more or less the same source, yet, only a few hops later, the message has evolved. The essential meaning stays the same, but they changed one little word.

When will this madness end? How will spam filters cope? Should we be alarmed? I’ve already equipped my tinfoil hat and will continue mye search for what i believe to be NBE’s.

How to setup “Chrome To Phone”

Chrome to Phone is a quite genius little tool. Let’s say you’ve got to catch a buss but you are reading a very interesting article on the Internet? Sending the link via email or even relocating it on your phone is very time consuming, Google has solved that with Chrome To Phone. Even more interestingly you can make a route on Google Maps and then send that route to your phone, just by the click of a button.

To install Chome To Phone you need to head over to Googles project server, as this is very beta at the moment. Download and install the plugin for your Chrome browser and then open and scan the 2d-barcode for the Android App. To be able to install this app you need to setup your phone to accept applications from unknown sources under Settings -> Applications.

The Application requires that you run the latest version of Android, Froyo. This is yet to be publicly released, but should hit you in a few weeks if you own a Nexus One. Other phones most likely must wait a few months before Android Froyo is delivered to their phones.

What I’d like to see in Android anno Froyo

Now that Android 2.2 is shipping out to us lucky few who owns a Google Nexus One-phone there is one thing i’d like to see: A tiny portable version of Squid’s forwarding proxy (transparent) so that you can get the most out of your precious phone connection and hopefully speeding browsing experience up a few notches for multiple users.

So – who is up for the challange? I don’t have the knowledge, hopefully someone has.
