Today I bought a new Cisco Catalyst 2950 managed switch. The initial installation was very easy, through the GUI. The switch was ready to use in an hour, and all computers and devices plugged on it now. I am a Cisco virgin, meaning that I have never worked with Cisco equipment earlier nor IOS. I did a few installations on Linksys (Subdivision of Cisco) wireless routers (WRT54GL), which now run a Linux-based firmware called OpenWrt. And I have read up the Quagga manual which is a BGP routing daemon based for Linux, which copies the IOS commands.

I was happy to receive a native IPv6 /64 subnet from AMIS today. It is still in the testing phase, this means they aren’t offering it to all customers yet. A native IPv6 connection means, that I can now avoid using IPv6 tunnel brokers and access the world directly over the IPv6 stack.

Ines & I went to the Chris Rea concert. The show was placed in the small Tivoli hall and many older people attended. They started with Chris’s special guest Paul Casey who is an Irish singer and guitarist, which also plays guitar and sings in Chris’s show. Chris really did his best on the show singing, playing guitars and dancing on the stage. It was amazing that he didn’t drink anything during his act in a nearly 90 min. long show. They had a special person, who was in charge to change Chris’s guitars and they had a stage with more than 15 guitars and he took a new one for each of the songs. His European tour called “Still Got So Far To Go” takes acts in most cities, every day with only 1 day off during the week. Chris’s has really well recovered and beaten the cancer, and he looks like new by the age of 58.

To continue with the posting, which was made on 3rd of February with the title “Man eaten by the dogs”. A few days after the incident, a video and pictures started to appear on the internet, where this man Doctor Baričevič was pictured naked with a dildo around his waist. One policemen took the pictures with his mobile phone. Now you think what has he done with the dildo around his waist, think again if you can – he was abusing those 3 dogs (1 female and 3 males) probably for many years analy with the artificial penis. Yes, sick and perverted mind he had. But this isn’t the whole story. Mr. Baričevič was actually Miss Baričevič in the younger years, later he changed sex and became one of the most influential doctors in Ljubljana, who had a private clinic for impoprtant persons and politicians. Its weird how picture showed that many important persons were linked with him, the husband of internal affairs minister was his private advocate. The after death examination showed that all 3 dogs had enlarged anuses and allready dead tissue inside their anuses. I am now wondering if that video never appeared on the internet, it would probably stay hidden by the authorities.

I was browsing around the page of Free Software Foundation, where I saw that they are promoting a fully Free software GNU/Linux distribution, called gNewSense. At this moment the distribution is based on Debian Lenny which uses 99% of compatible sources from the “main” section, which is Free software. They are excluding some programs which don’t have a 100% Free source. By the way, this is also the distribution, which Richard M. Stallman currently uses (as of January 2010). He uses a Lemote Yeelong netbook with a Loongson chip and a 9-inch display. This is his only computer, and he uses it all the time. He has chosen it because it can run with 100% free software even at the BIOS level. I have installed gNewSene on Ines’s old PC, and it allready has some Free shell users. I am always happy to assist in some way to the Open community, so I decided to setup a mirror for the gNewSense archive.

Yesterday afternoon, a male person was eaten/bitten to death by his dogs. The story starts a few years ago, when a female doctor raised 4 bullmastif dogs together. One evening a random bypasser walked in the suburbs of Ljubljana, when dogs came out of the house and started biting and attacking him. Police arrived a few minutes later and shot one dog. The person hardly survived with several injuries. These dogs were then taken away to the custody of dogs asylum. After about 2 years the female owner of the dogs, died in the suspicious conditions (neighbours said, that she made a suicide). After the doctors death, her relative or partner, took these dogs back to their house from the asylum. But not for a long time, since yesterday the same 3 bullmastif dogs, have bitten him to death. Right now I realised how dangerous it was visiting my mother in the next street, if those dogs were ever released outside on their own, anyone could become the next victim. The agressive dogs were euthanised after this tragedy.

I received a native IPv6 subnet on one of my dedicated servers. It is now being used for hosting a freenode leaf server. I am still waiting for my home ISP provider AMIS to enable native IPv6, I hope that they will do it soon.
