Working on adding IPv6 functionality to my home network. I configured it for local network traffic, but my upstream provider doesn't offer it and I haven't signed up for any tunneling service. Unfortunately, adding IPv6 support requires moving to some newer software versions; blech, extra work.
RFC Covering IPv6
IPv6 on FreeBSD
IPv6 on Solaris
Adding IPv6 DNS records to Bind was fairly easy, though my version of Bind doesn't support listening on IPv6 interfaces.

I've sworn off conference rooms on Yahoo servers. I've used IRC for years, but while they're great for support their size makes them too large for "chatting". I signed up for a Yahoo account (because I could) and was checking out some of their channels. The *nix channel had some interesting characters, but they lend themselves more towards hobbyists and newbs than professionals. I realize now that I was talking above their heads, but after being labelled a troll multiple times I decided that I hadn't hope of real discourse. Anything that didn't mesh with "Linux RULZ!" was trampelled down; ironic, when I would state something in favor of Linux but they were too dumb to recognize it. Bah. If only I could find jabber rooms that were more populated.
This iBook sucks. It is incredibly slow, compared to similarly spec'd x86 laptops running Linux. Firefox has font issues; there isn't a good IM program (jabber, aim, yahoo, conferences); it can't play SVCD without being choppy; and I miss all my nifty Xwindows features like Alt+Right-click to resize, Alt+Left-click to drag. Bah.
