How appropriate that I start this blog on a day of new beginnings. This morning I was called in for a “scheduling meeting” which was in reality a corporate downsizing lay-off. So as of today I am back on the job hunt but also looking forward to working on some of my own projects as well.

I hope to be attending the IPv6 Summit in Ottawa on Friday. Even if I don’t manage to make any new contacts (highly unlikely) I am still looking forward to the experience to learn from others who are also working on IPv6 deployments right now. My home office deployment in 95% complete, I just need to work on some problems with radvd not properly advertising DNS servers (or more appropriately, Windows 7 not recognising the router advertisements for DNS servers). The nightly release of OpenWRT is a huge help n deploying IPv6 as it includes the ip6tables config which is missing from the latest official release. As for the D-Link firmware for my router, like the Cisco small business (Linksys) IPv6 certified one I tried, it works great for local IPv6, but routing across my PPPoE connection has a lot of issues.
As for other projects, I have a few to keep me busy. My migration to new dual stack servers is completed. This site is nearly complete. I have several DragonHawk sites I need to work on (Enterprises, Productions, Entertainment and Lore). BusinessITSolution.com will become a full service SaaS and network management service. MonkeyPhux is a new open source dating server application I plan to start work on. Geek2GeekDating will be my production site using the MonkeyPhux back end. CreditFuckers is going to become an IP telephony debt collector blacklist database. ActiveSpeak will become a hosted VOIP PBX service. Finally MusicScribes will be a music fiction writers site.
