After having some troubles with these f***ing atom-feeds from blogger.com i decided to switch to blosxom on my own server. It took me about 20min to understand the concept (esp. if you run it in your public_html/cgi-bin and wonder no of your configuration is used, until recoginizing all stuff is getting overridden by including a default config file ;-) ). I still have some trouble with some of the plugins, which i hopefully will sort out later this day.
I prepared a new version of DCC (1.2.66-1), which needs some further testing until it goes into the archive. Some of the bugsubitters already acknowleged the new version looks better now. Lets see, how much feedback i will get until the weekend.

While looking around in the net for zSeries stuff, i discovered Debian is containing a software called "hercules", a z/Architecture Emulator. So i thought, why not giving that one a try and installed it. After understanding how to run hercules without root-privileges (okay, next time i should read README.Debian first...) i started installing Debian Sarge inside the virtual machine, using Debian Installer RC2. Went quite well, but there is one nasty bug left (#281407) while doing partitioning.
Okay, S/390 isn't that fast, if you run it as virtual machine, but hey, have you a tried to work with S/390?

Yiepi, i got IPv6 on newfrigg up and running. Now even IRCing works on that machine... My IPv6 tunnelbroker is SixXS. After i managed to get my entries in the RIPE-database (which was the hardest part of it), i got IPv6 connectivity within 1.5 hours. You are realy great guys. I own you a beer. Now i will experiment with IPv6 routing. I want to connect DaLUG farm PCs on that v6 network.
