4/24    How many people have a Linksys, DLink, and NetGears router? How
        is it?                                 \_ or
        \_ each of those vendors offers a number of
           consumer-level broadband routers that are often made by different
           manufacturers, use different software, and have different features.
           Take a look at reviews at http://www.practicallynetworked.com Granted,
           their products are much more refined than when the market was
           created a couple of years ago. I personally use SMC 7004BR four-port
           router and I am happy with it after installing the latest firmware
           update.
           \_ I have another SMC product (the 7004AWBR, wireles router) and
              am happy owith it.
        \_ i have the linksys router/wireless access point ( BEFW11S4) and
            its actaully pretty nice.
        \_ I have a Linksys Cable Modem (BEFCMU10) and Linksys Etherfast
           Router (BEFSR41) They both work very well.
        \_ DL-704, cost $20 from BestBuy (rebate+it's returned item), does the
           job.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6
