2011
- Yeah, got my very first IPv6 only website running on my new Linode host. ipv6.thingelstad.com
- Unfortunately, no networks I have access to are IPv6 capable. Bummer.
- Plan to have all of my websites IPv6 available as I transition them to Linode.
Doing some Unix cleaning tonight and found the website I host for my cousin had been compromised. Ugh! 😕
One crappy WordPress plugin (is-human) with a PHP exec hack.
U2 360° FanCam
At the U2 360° show they had this “gigapixel” Fan Cam thingy. It would be interesting to know a bit more about how it worked. It captures the whole crowd with a pretty high degree of detail.
It caught me and Tammy. I look pretty dorky, munching on some popcorn before U2 came on stage.
Remodel Update Week 8
The remodel is continuing along really well. This week all the framing was completed. There were some ceiling parts left from last week. We did the electrical walk through on Monday of this week and the electrician got right to it. The pre-wiring for more security system stuff was done. The ducts for the furnace also got put in. Another temporary wall was put up in the kitchen so that the door could be taken out and the wall cut out above the espresso bar. The window in the upstairs bathroom was removed. The deck was also put back together which helps the yard feel more normal.
The week ahead is mostly about wires and pipes. Electrical inspection will happen this week and hopefully the low voltage work will get completed as well. I’m dragging new Ethernet and coax to a bunch of spots. The outside will also be restored further with our fencing put back in place and possibly the beginning of the siding work.
Somewhat rare that we all get in the same photo. Also Tammy with brand new hair color.
Tyler got a new background to his landing page website. tylerthing.com Gave me an excuse to use the text-shadow CSS attribute.
Did some big time exploring with MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki tonight. Cool stuff!
Crazy impressed with Linode so far. Hope to have my sites moved this weekend. Wish it was easier to move a VPS.
Electrician named Sparky
The last two build-outs that I’ve worked through at the office have had the same electrician and everyone always calls him Sparky. It is his nickname. I’ve always thought it was a fun nickname, or concerning since sparks aren’t what you want with electricity.
Today at our remodel I overheard the framers talking about Sparky being done in this area or still working over there. Is Sparky just a nickname for all electricians on job sites?
