Instead of ordering from OpenBSDEurope (sorry) I ordered from lehmanns.de this
time. I'm saving money as it's only 39.95 euros there.
And I can pay on delivery, and no shipping charges.

Privately I had been dreaming of an optical computer. Photonics would do what
electrons do in conventional computers. I imagine speed at room temperature
and minimal energy (electricity) draw.
Now, my dream seems to have seeded in reality.
See here.
Here is a good explanation of a NAND gate, notice it's functionally complete meaning you can create all
other types of gates with this (AND, OR, XOR, and negated counterparts). Hats
off Mr. Ritesh Agarwal for leading development in an optical NAND gate!

This is the announcement from RIPE. Perhaps it's time to speed
up IPv6 deployment.

I have registered a new domain. It will eventually replace goldflipper.net.
It's name is virgostar.net. When I was born virgo was the constellation
in the night sky. The virgo star spica was surrounded on both sides by a full
moon and uranus, but when I was born I became a pisces. Yesterday when I
registered virgostar.net the constellation virgo rose in the east at 10 AM
and the constellation pisces had the almost full moon in it. These were just
some celestial observances I made with stellarium (with which you can adjust the
date).
Also I'm going to be naming my computers after stars when I'm done with the
planets, so this is a fitting domain just like solarscale.de domain was fitting
with the planets. BTW I currently have control of six domains, probably a bit
too many but I like them all.

The german BKA seeks a trojan programmer. The BKA is the german
equivalent of the american FBI. Let me brainstorm for you why this job is a
dead end job, with no chance to grow.
- Programmers seek hacker culture. I believe you can't take a single
programmer and have them create 0-day trojan successfully. The programmer
will always be a step behind virus makers and anti-virus gangs who enjoy a
networked (perhaps even dark) underground where information is freely exchanged
in form of malware.
- It's likely a dead-end job with no job security. With that I mean the
demanded results will never be fulfilled until the BKA seeks another rock-star
programmer
- This is a cyberwar attempt. Cyberwars require enourmous people resources
which develop a "hacker culture" (as mentioned above), only these gangs can
be successful in creating the tools they require, a single person can only
dream of having the time (on the factor of 100) to do anything similar.
- Job experience is a problem, there is likely a slight conflict of interest
for the best people for such a job. One is working for the police, c'mon you
can't likely feel good for a new piece of art that makes the rounds.
- They'll likely use a programmer only to spit him out again. I've seen it
happen in this world. And while an applicant is being used for their hard
gained knowledge there is no return of knowledge back to them.
And a multitude of ethics come into play. Whose side are you on anyway? I
know this job isn't for me judging by the job-ad.

This BBC article
caught my attention. If you take a close look on my website (probably under
private) then you may notice steganographic content. I've been doing this
for a while now. If you can't see it, that's the point :-).

Neil Armstrong has died. For many an inspiration!
I'm a firm believer the USA landed on the moon not just once but six times.
Unfortunately back then the lunar program was not sustainable and they had
to cease going there. Pity still.

Unfortunately the fire that ran through my building caused my apartment to be
unliveable. It will be restored in 4-6 weeks. Since this affects uranus
which is off now, I have moved all dns and mail operations over to io.solarscale.de and goldflipper.net. This is the downside of doing email at home I guess,
but fires didn't happen for a long time and are in all in all a rare event.
I'm just glad I got a bit of time off work to get everything organized again.
