It looks like, once again, there's another attribute flying around the global BGP table causing Quagga instances to crash (if based on 0.99.9 - I believe the bug is fixed in 0.99.10).

A couple of weekends ago, CS Grupetto rolled out to Flanders for the Ronde van Vlaanderen sportive, and to catch the race live.

I am currently actively interested in new opportunities due to changing circumstances with my current role.

I’ve had a couple of mails relating to this PSN, which again references the research that Andy Davidson, Jonathan Oddy and I did last year.

A lovely, albeit slightly chilly, start to 2010 with the Grupetto this morning.

For all network deployments, there is a requirement to present information relating to both topology, and various utilisation statistics to some human operator.

A quick personal post to break the silence here!

Further to my previous post - I presented this issue at LINX65 - video and slides can be found below.

Last Friday, Andy Davidson, Jonathan Oddy, and I pushed out some research that has some quite worrying repercussions.

Following getting my roadbike back out for the first time in a while (been really busy since moving to Ealing!)

I had a bit of a weird problem last night – when trying to remove BGP from a VRF on a 7600 running 12.2(33)SRC2, I tried: ar01.tn5(config)#router bgp 65302 ar01.tn5(config-router)#no address-family ipv4 vrf SRC2-TEST ar01.tn5(config-router)#exit ar01…

It took me a few hours over the course of this week to build the RIPE whois server for some internal projects – given that there seems to be a very limited amount of documentation for the build process, and threads on mailing lists, I’m going to post this…

Not that I am expecting a large number of people to have anything to say about what I post on this site - but I just added a comments system using the Django FreeComment system.

I was reading an entry posted by Brett Carr on Nominet’s techblog today entitled “ipv6 It just works”.

There’s a bunch of stuff online about the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2.

As mentioned previously, my new Rollapaluza best time.

A week or so ago, I spent a very enjoyable day watching some great bike polo - again with my camera.

More cycling event photos - a bunch of images from the Rollapaluza XI race last night at the Kingpin Suite in Bloomsbury.

A couple of Sundays ago I went up to watch the grass track racing in Hackey, arranged by Hackney CC - finally got a moment to upload the photos!

I’ve been working on a number of bits of code recently, and have found that it’s not entirely practical to check into RCS or SVN for every change that I’ve made.

Don’t swerve when people pass too close.

Please make sure you understand hand signals.

Figured I hadn’t posted a new picture of my bike for a while!

I went to go and do some roller racing earlier this week, at a pub called the Horseshoe in Clerkenwell.

I’ve been experimenting with home-baked bread of late, and have been trying some recipes that haven’t worked out so well.

At lunchtime today I was told via IRC/e-mail that Chris Orme, of Datahop passed away after a flight back from a peering conference in Florida.

Imperial College are currently implementing changes so that you need to access either POP3 or IMAP with SSL enabled, I figured since they didn’t list Fetchmail in their new site, then I’d post my configuration (.fetchmailrc) here in case anyone else uses…

My Pinnacle Mean Streak 2.0 was stolen today from outside my flat (Pigott Street, E14).

Let’s see how many people read the rubbish I post here.

Since I’ve got a few moments, and I’ve decided to actually write down some rants rather than deciding that I can’t be bothered to - I’m going to use some space to single the praises of Django.

For anyone interested, the slides for my RFID presentation are here.

So, at the moment, I’m writing a presentation about the operation and the security implications of RFID.

Last time I tried to run Asterisk on OS X it was on Panther (10.3), and it really failed to work.

I finally got myself an iPhone - and am loving it.

Further to the previous comment, you can also link against GSL from within an Xcode project: Create an Xcode "C++ Tool" project from the command line projects options.

Since I’m taking the Computational Physics module in my third year at IC, we’re using some libraries like GSL to provide “better-than-default” random number generators and such like.

As it turns out - it’s pretty easy to code up a very basic blog application and integrate it with your existing flat-file site in Django.
