Qik is a streaming service, which enables you to record video and audio stream on your mobile phone and distributes it in live mode to their website. Visitors can then watch the stream directly by visiting your Qik personal website , browse your video archive and place comments. There is a similar service to Qik, which is called LiveCLIQ and is based and developed in Slovenia. Unfortunatelly I couldn’t test LiveCLIQ as Qik seems to be the only service which supports my Galaxy Spica 1.5 Android system.
RIPE Assistants
I would like to thank Robert J. M. from London who contacted me, after reading my blog, and is being a great assistance to me regarding RIPE and BGP issues. I would also like to thank Dan L. from Munich who has recently signed up with RIPE and is telling me how to proceed with their questionaries. The shouts go also to the Wlan Ljubljana team, specially Mitar M., who is in the process of signing up with RIPE, Patrick D. from Washington D.C. and Bernhard S. from Munich for being so kind to troubleshoot networking issues with me. Thank you all guys !
Looking Glass
I am spending the last days by looking at the Looking glass servers trying to resolve all the data which comes out of there. As the looking glasses use different software it gets interesting, when I am trying to understand the whole output. Earlier I have published the link to my MRLG where you can see my peering points for the dn42 project.

dn42 graphs
The dn42 network is built through multiple nodes acting as AS’s. It’s visibility can be seen from the graphs made by Somerandomnick, Ivo and welterde. Daily update can be seen from Helios 1 and Helios 2 webserver. Be advised that graphs are big in size and can terminate your browser or close your X-sesssion, therefore I advise to download them to your PC (try wget) and open it with the image viewer later.

RIPE allocation
I am looking for the oportunity to get RIPE allocation for my company/projects. This includes the negotiation with RIPE for ASn and IPv4+IPv6 address space. If you can by any chance assist with this (even with donations) or want to become one of my peers or a transit uplink, please contact me !
Wlan Ljubljana
I have attached 3 routers to Ljubljana Open Wi-Fi network. 2 nodes (Linksys WRT54-GS) are in my floor, one on the balcony and another in the apartment, the third node (Fonera) is linked wirelessly on the other side of the building. Now I am waiting for the fourth node to arrive so that it can establish the wired link to the internet, then we have a whole building and surrounding area covered with the signal.

IPv6 BGP peering
I have now established over 10 IPv4 BGP peerings with 4 of them being in dual stack mode IPv4/IPv6 on dn42 network. On average it gives me 170 IPv4 and 40 IPv6 prefixes.
Sage T-shirt
Hurricane Electric is so nice to send all participants who completed their IPv6 test with top/sage level a T-shirt. They allready provide us with Free IPv6 tunnel broker service. A big shout goes also to the Go6 community and RIPE who gave us T-shirts on the last IPv6 summit, this is me wearing it.
Peering on dn42
As I wrote earlier, I have joined the dn42 project. Since monday I have established 6 BGP peerings with other members. A peering means that you establish a link with other side of the network, which keeps you connected to the network if one of the nodes falls down. The more peerings you have, the less chance there is for the network to break apart. Not to be confused here, we peer only with Private ASn’s and aren’t directly connected to the internet, this is still a private network, but someday I hope to learn enough about the technical view on BGP to be able to establish true peerings on the public internet. Most of all that costs a lot of money. I have created the voluntary fundraiser, which helps me accomplish that goal.
