IPv6 Install-Fest 14 August 2019 10 a.m. (1016 South Wayne Street, Arlington VA)

Tue, 08/03/2010 - 11:10 — gjp

The August meeting of NOVALUG will be held in Arlington VA in support of a picnic honouring the birthday of Linux.

Originally, ARPANET ran the Network Control Program (NCP). The NCP had many limitations (including address space) and was in time superseded by TCP/IP. However, users were reluctant to make the transition. So, in 1982, Vinton Cerf and Jon Postel brutally forced users to switch from NCP to IPv4 by programming the Internet gateways to block all NCP traffic.

Now, almost 30 years later, it is the IPv4 address space that is approaching exhaustion. If current IPv4 address allocation policy continues, then IANA will allocate its last remaining /8 block in 2011 06, and the RIRs will allocate the last of their IPv4 addresses in 2012 04. Yet the demand for addresses will only grow due to the rapid proliferation of hand-held devices and the ongoing roll-out of Internet services in the third-world.

Device and Storage Management (12 June 2010) Reston Regional Library

Device and Storage Management
10 a.m., 12 June 2010
Reston Regional Library

The 21st century has proved a challenge to traditional POSIX (UNIX) platforms. Limited device and platform-eccentric support has driven the hardware-agnostic Linux solution to a new set of universal tools to managing devices and storage. Most of these solutions are designed to be automated without configuration and intervention by home users, while very flexible and powerful for Linux system and network administrators and engineers.

In this presentation, Bryan J Smith will cover the the following details to managing devices and storage in 21st century Linux:

Badminton Racket Guide: Choosing the Right Racket

Wed, 09/01/2010 - 11:19 — jyrah

Choosing the right badminton racket, is really tough if you don't know what kind of player you are. There are people that were really fond of playing badminton with definite reasons; it can be competitively or just a hobby. The right equipment will be based on your objective. If you're an hobbyist you can pick an amateur playing racket but if you want to be a competitive badder, you should characterize your ability; how you smash, how you stroke, and how you defense. Well, it really depends on how you play the game.

Gathered Tips:

"Important to any player is the 'tension' of the strings. If the strings are too tight, they will break more easily, but if they are too loose, there will be a loss of power on shots." (badmintonsecrets.com/)

"Heavier rackets are mostly preferred by players who have much stronger wrists and can therefore make use of the weight of the racket to extract more power from it." (badminton-information.com/)

Recreational Social Activities

Sat, 08/28/2010 - 09:35 — albertjones142

Group-oriented examples of recreational activities include sports of all kinds - hiking or if those are too physical for you try golf or swimming. But, Bike Riding with rallies is a recreational activity, and one that (usually) makes us happy and gives us a feeling of social connection.

American Chopper Bike Night is a loosely organized ride through many US Sates and cities of Europe. Bike Night has been going on now for many years. Participation ebbs and flows but generally is about 15 - 20 folks. Ages range from 20's to 60's. If you're old enough to ride and young enough to stay on, then you're probably just right for Bike Night.

IPv6 is a complete rewrite that offers a vast address space, new
services, and solutions to old problems. Yet, as with the change from NCP

If you sell handmade jewelry online through a website

Tue, 07/27/2010 - 02:43 — lorraine

If you sell handmade jewelry online through a website, you already know how hard it can be to get traffic. The challenges of constantly marketing and promoting your site, while continuing
to design jewelry to sell can be daunting. There's not enough time in a day to get it all done.

The problem with depending upon a free standing website to sell jewelry online is that too many other people are doing the same thing. Even though your website may have lovely jewelry designs, if it's on page eight on the search engines, you're not going to make many sales.

In frustration and as a way to get traffic, some people turn to eBay to sell handmade jewelry online. Sure,
eBay has lots of traffic, but it also has lots of competition and buyers who are looking for a bargain. Can you really afford to give away your beautifully designed handmade jewelry just to make sales?
