There has to be a name for it

Using up some annual leave from work today, before the year ended and I lost it, I decided to clean out “The Box Cupboard”. You know, that one cupboard you have, where the boxes go when you buy things, because it might come in handy/the thing might break/some other reason. Apart from realising that I [...]

Told you I was tidying…

Not only have I now moved my List O’Crap tumblr from tumblr.matstace.me.uk to listocrap.matstace.me.uk (whilst also making sure that any old permalinks to individual posts still work, thank you nginx for making that easy), but I also got bored with having a plain old list of links for my homepage, and did some amazing artworks [...]

Tidying Up and Sorting Out

Unfortunately not my living room, although $deity only knows I need to. Nope, over the last few days I’ve been having a bit of a tweak around and tidy up of my online presence, and have actually started using one of my accounts somewhere again. I’ve started on a re-do of my homepage, basing it [...]

Failed at the Fourth Hurdle

That ended quickly then. My self-set challenge to blog every day for November lasted a whole three days. I think I may have fallen down by doing the post for the third on the second, and setting it to publish a day later, while I was out. I thought I was being clever, but I [...]

2012, When F1 Becomes F-That?

Over the last couple of years, the Formula 1 seasons seem to have been getting better and better, with two successive British driver’s champions, the drama of the Honda team almost going under, then returning, phoenix-like to dominate the early half of the season with the double diffuser, taking the constructors championship and giving Jenson [...]

Receiving Email via IPv6 for a Google Apps Domain

I mentioned yesterday that I was having a go progressing through the Hurricane Electric IPv6 Certification. The main reason for this is that they do an IPv6 email test, and being that I want to be part of the Internet, and not just the legacy (IPv4) Internet, I’d decided that I wanted to be able [...]

Fritz!Box 7390 IPv6 Firewalling

I was having lots of fun (read no fun at all) over the past couple of days attempting to progress through the Hurricane Electric IPv6 certification. One of the tests involves the HE server retrieving a file via IPv6, which I was repeatedly failing. Given that I could access the file via IPv6, I was [...]

Bookmarks for August 30th through October 26th

So, you might have noticed that I’m sometimes a bit lazy, and can’t always be bothered to blog every day, and yet the Interwebs still go on. I read things, and if I find stuff interesting, it is pulled into these here posts auto-magically. Here’s some stuff I found interesting between August 30th and October [...]

Fritz!Box 7390 Hurricane Electric TunnelBroker.net IPv6 tunnel

As I’ve previously logged my Fritz!Box 7390 on O2 home broadband settings, I figured it might be a good idea to also chuck my IPv6 setup here as well, as the inevitable day when I break my router/modem/switch/magic box and need to factory reset it must be getting closer To setup the IPv6 tunnel, first, [...]

Blah blah random words blah blah blah

Once again, I’m thinking “Oh, look, I do know where my blog is”. I’ve been playing around with other sites recently, including Diaspora* (well, running my pod), so add me if you have an account on a pod somewhere – mat@pod.matstace.me.uk (also, if you have an iOS 5 device, add me to that imessage thing, [...]
