The gods of the new world

The intelligence and the complexity of humans remained almost constant over the years. What is exponentially evolving is the complexity and the intelligence of our tools. And if not now then soon our tools will have intelligence, will be able to learn, to take decisions, to improve and to reproduce itself. And that means… life! And by the rate we and our tools are evolving soon we will be overcome by a more intelligent and complex form of life created by us for us.
Let there be life! :-)

We all fight for visitors!

Yup, that is true. We all fight for visitors, here in the internet’s world. And I mean every one! You can name anything in internet. Websites, blogs, online products and even the final user. Now almost any user, even my mother, has at least one profile somewhere in internet. South Park was right. More and more communication and socializing move to the internet. And no matter where who don’t want to be popular? Right like in the school’s courtyard now everyone tries to be the coolest. The coolest in internet’s courtyard! :-)

Cheers,

P.S. I recommend you the South Park’s episode 14×04 called “You have 0 Friends”

IPv6 on Windows 7 is embarassing!

Recently I moved to Windows 7 and let Windows XP behind.

Yeah… I know. Using Windows on your desktop is kind of lame… Unfortunately I always was a geek so I never used Linux-friendly distributions. I always was the guy that was installing everything by hand. Compiling, optimizing, patching kernel and others taken to the extreme. After you grow and work a while you reach the point when you have so many things to do that in the final you can not afford anymore one week of compiling and customizing.  So… you chose the time effective solution.

And recently I upgraded my distribution to Windows 7. :-)

First I was happy to find that in Windows 7 you don’t need to install, configure from console or making scripts to change your IPv6. Niceee! So, I set my IPv6, check the connection, everything was working well!

In years I developed some habits. And one of them is to see who logged in recently on the server and who is online and from where. So when I logged in on the first server I was surprised to see username “serghei”(mine) logged in from a stateless obtained IPv6. Um… not fine. I have access only from one IP on lot of servers. And when I have a free access point in my home and some free access points at work(all offering stateless IPv6) you must use your own IP!

So, I went to the IPv6 configuration options and searched to disable the stateless auto configuration.  Unfortunately found no option there. Well… I thought I must go again as in Windows XP to the console and stop the service. Disappointing… but in the final no biggie …two more minutes of work. To make the story shorter after hours and hours of searching and lot of moments when I hated the Microsoft tech support page I decided to ask some experts. Well… I asked but… I’m still waiting for an answer with a solution. :-)

If you can help me I’ll be very grateful to you. :-)

Meanwhile I used to log in on the servers only using IPv4…
Kind of sad isn’t it ?

Cheers,
Sebastian

P.S. I also tried to at least convince Windows 7 to use my assigned IP and not the one stateless obtained but without success.

Yellow!

Four years ago I’ve made myself a blog. The truth is I made it just to not hear anymore my friends asking me “How come you don’t write in a blog?” Because of this reason I’ve posted only a few articles. However, even after such a failure as a writer I decided I want to see my blog alive again. And this time I have the needed appetite for writing.
On my old blog (inaccessible now) I had some articles that worth to be kept. However because the original articles were in Romanian I must first translate them.
Those being said I wish myself mood for writing! :-)

Cheers!
Sebastian
