Cisco IOS Hints and Tricks: Interesting links (2011-01-09):

Jedi Mind Tricks: HTTP Request Smuggling – an intriguing HTTP vulnerability and the countermeasure using ... what else ... F5.

Flailing IPv6 – up to 13% of IPv6 connections fail, mostly due to broken tunnels. Stop tunneling!

Cisco UCS criticism and FUD: Answered – another great article by @bradhedlund. Assuming he’s not making it up, some competitors must be really desperate.

Understanding Inter-Area Loop Prevention Caveats in OSPF Protocol – a masterpiece by @plapukhov. I thought I knew almost everything there is to know about OSPF. Boy was I wrong.

2011 Cloud, PaaS, NoSQL Predictions. Let’s hope he’s right and people will actually move toward PaaS. That would solve so many stupidities we have to deal with today.

Radius Auth-Type attribute. Kurt Bates describes how you can remove password check on a PPP account without exposing your network devices.

Andrew vonNagy is describing a weird QoS problem. A great example of the Law of unintended consequences.

So Far Away From Me: Managing Network Gear That’s Over The Horizon. Another must-read from Ethan Banks, preferably as a follow-up to the Remote (in Band) Configuration Tips from John McManus (I can’t help but read his post in his wonderful Scottish accent ;).

Using MySQL as a NoSQL - A story for exceeding 750,000 qps on a commodity server. There are still some people that are willing to throw their brains, not more hardware, at a problem. Few and far between, but to see one is encouraging.

The State of IPv6 in Canada – slow-moving local Service Providers might enable international competition to gain ground.

Hello, I have arrived in honduras just fine, it is beautiful down here. nice and warm. it is about 80-85 degrees I would say. Today was our flight, we had a connection in Houston. arrived in Roatan 1:15PM. it took until nearly 2:30 to get our bags and get to the Inn of last resort. I took a swim, since this is our only off day. Sunday we will vist some people. and Monday off to the CSI site. We are on the North west side of the island, there is only one road that leads to the west from the Airport (first it goes north), very near the end of the road on the west side you will find two small bays near each other (Gibson's Bight), that should be where the INN is located.

Again they picked up rocks

Once again Jesus is confronted with being stoned. (John 10:31-32) This time He does not hide from them, but faces them and asks them questions as to why they want to stone Him. These questions cause them to doubt their reasons. The one that rings for me is: Just because I (Jesus) said, 'I am the Son of God'? If I don't do the things my Father does, well and good; don't believe me. But if I am doing them, put aside for a moment what you hear me say about myself and just take the evidence of the actions that are right before your eyes. Take time today to read of the things that Jesus did and see for yourself, are they one and the same as God. Today I pray that move closer to your maker.

Most Christians have heard this story before. This is the one that gets me all the time. I have a judgmental person, I am always saying (mostly in my head) why do they do this or that? Don't they realize what that is saying about them? I will try and put people in boxes, usually below me. Or at least that is what I believe at the time. I know some people that are much better at this (NOT being judgmental) then I am. I am trying to avoid those conversations at work, the rumors, the gossip, the competition that I play in my head. I always find it interesting that the story states that the older people left first...and as I get older I find that it is easier to be less judgmental. I calculate that I may only need to live to be about 200 to completely remove this from my system. I have also noticed today that people can see me, I mean I am generally invisible in many situations, but today I walked a route that I have many times prior, and in those times people rarely acknowledge me. To...
