I have ordered a
Soekris 6501-70 router for home. It's
replacing my G4 Cube
which is 12 years old. The Cube wasn't particularily energy efficient and
lacked USB 2.0. I'm getting all that with the new soekris. Also I can write
it off in taxes because I use it for work (it's part of my home network and
an important component of it).

So far it looks pretty good. I hope it retains stability.

On my 4th part of my vacation I went to Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada which is
just south of the arctic circle...
When one gets to Iqaluit this is what they'll see (the lady didn't want her
face online so I edited it out)...
The second day I was there a snowstorm (part of the storm that hit north dakota
a few days earlier) from the south hit us...
Here is a picture of the worker crews in apex restoring power which winds of
100 km/h knocked down...that day there was about 3 power failures despite
Aaron telling me they got a new Diesel power system set up for redundancy..
The next day was nice and we trekked out to the Apex beach where the
arcticfibre.com landing point is
supposed to be..
Here is also the original buildings of the Hudson's Bay company which
was a british trading company...
I felt really good and Aaron made these photos of me..
We went to a museum of Nunavut...
Iqaluit was once a US military base, so there is remnants of it everywhere..
In fact there is radio and satellite equipment everywhere, currently they
get Internet through this.. which will take a backup role once the fibre
is laid..
On our way around we saw these chained sleddogs.. never approach these, they
might rip off a limb of yours...(not kidding!)...
And here is also a river where they get arctic char (sp) a type of fish for
consumption.. the water is good to drink.
That was Iqaluit! I had the best of times there! Thanks and maybe I'll
return for another visit some time soon!

On my second part of my vacation I took the train from Toronto to Saskatoon.
This was in northern Ontario...
The ride in the "Skydome" at sunset...
Before getting to Winnipeg I saw this flock of geese...
Winnipeg...
That was my journey on this train...

It's donation time again, probably the last of this year. I donated 150 euros
to Theo de Raadt. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

In Nunavut the stop signs are different.
This is my friend Aaron.
The snow reduced visibility pretty much...

I'm in Iqaluit, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. It's near the arctic circle.
I came here 2 days ago. Yesterday we had a storm with gusts of 100 Km/H go
through which dumped a bit of snow. It is the first snowday in iqaluit of the
year. Temperatures are hovering around 0 degrees Celsius and are expected to
drop a little. Although I do not have pictures at the ready yet I did make
some pictures and I'll be sharing those soon. I'm in good health and spirits
and will be back in the south of Canada in 2 days and back in Germany in
3 days. Weather permitting of course.

I'm in Toronto, and was on SVPRadio yesterday and it turned out very well.
Perhaps more later, I'm travelling to Saskatchewan soon.
