Over the bank holiday weekend I found time for some maintenance on the Android port of Simon Tatham’s Puzzles. For users, this mostly means a few interesting new grid types in Loopy now that I’ve caught up with upstream. As always, you can update on Android Market, or manually on the project website.

World IPv6 Day is 1 week away, and for what it’s worth, I’m joining in. On Wednesday 8th June, if you visit my site or any of the other participants, such as Google, you’ll be helping to test whether mass deployment of IPv6 is likely to break anything.

I’m now the proud owner of a Crypto Stick, an OpenPGP smartcard implementation in USB stick form. It is apparently capable of generating and using 4096-bit keys, but GnuPG has a limit of 3072 bits (quick tests and git master show this is still the case).

For my latest ugly hack, I wanted to give any/every machine in the house a globally-routable IPv6 address, and I didn’t want to have to babysit the setup every time the router’s IPv4 address changed.

LiveJournal and other sites using the same software don’t provide a feed of your friends/reading page, something that has irritated me since I signed up.
