Other stuff.

Actually, I did have some more news yesterday.. mum's car still isn't back from the panel beaters, but they loaned her another car, which I was just a little confused to see. It was a 1979 Ford Cortina Ghia with a vinyl covered roof. I mention this, because the last cinyl covered roof 1979 Ford Cortina Ghia that my mum had anything to do with was one that she and my dad had before they split up. Was.. very spooky to see her back in one again. She should be getting the Torana back today tho, so it's all good.

Also, I'm heading out tonight to a movie/dinner with an olllld old friend, who I haven't seen for about 4 years. I think I 'll still recognise her tho. Heh.

Also, next thursday and friday, work is making me go to an IPv6 training workshop. Detail of the presentations for the workshop are here. IPv6 makes baby jesus cry :( Heheh. I'm glad I spent like 2 hours looking at them yesterday so I have SOME idea of what it's all about, but it's very complex. IPv4 is what is currently used on TCP/IP networks like the Internet. It has 255x255x255x255 addresses, which when you get down to it, isn't very much. IPv6 allows for about that many addresses per square mile of the earth's surface, with plenty left over for outer space and oceans. Eventually the internet will move to IPv6, but surprisingly, it's gonna be a long process. AARNet is the Australian university networking group, so we'll probably be one of the first places here to switch. Japan is very big on IPv6, and large network routing centres like Abilene are already starting to use it.

Yes, anyway *pushes up horn rimmed glasses held together with masking tape* G'lavin!

:D Not taking laptop to work today cause I'm going straight out afterwards.
