From Slashdot:

On their site, the people behind Hacking at Random (the successor of What the Hack, a four day outdoor hackers conference) announced a date and location: "On August 13-16, 2009 the 20th anniversary edition of the four-yearly Dutch outdoor technology-conference will take place near Vierhouten, NL".

This event promises "four days of technology, ideological debates and hands-on tinkering". Given that these events happen only once every four years, I wouldn't want to miss it for the world!

Of course I will make sure that I won't miss this event! Together with the Mononoke crew we'll team up for a week of hacking, slacking and having a blast.

Teredo is a tunneling protocol designed to grant IPv6 connectivity to nodes that are located behind IPv6-unaware NAT devices. It defines a way of encapsulating IPv6 packets within IPv4 UDP datagrams that can be routed through NAT devices and on the IPv4 internet.

Enabling Teredo on your device is quite simple:

• In Mac OS X, you can use Miredo OSX port
• In (Debian/Ubuntu) Linux, just apt-get install miredo
• In Windows Vista, Teredo is enabled by default
• In Windows XP, open a shell, and netsh interface ipv6 install ; netsh interface ipv6 set teredo client
• Or read how to enable Teredo on other platforms

With Teredo enabled you can use IPv6 practically everywhere you have IPv4 connectivity, happy IPv6 hacking!

Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what's coming in the next 5,000 days?
