Today is the 10th anniversary of World IPv6 Launch. IPv6 has been around since the 1990s, but some organisations were hesitant about using it for their websites. So, World IPv6 Day (in June 2011) was an opportunity for these organisations to enable IPv6 for 24 hours. That way, if anything broke then it would probably …

Windows FTP clients
I’ve recently been setting up a new FTP server, and I wanted it to support FTPS. However, I ran into a few problems when I tested it, which turned out to be partly due to the client software I was using. I’ve been using CuteFTP for several years: I registered for version 1.0 back in …

VDSL
I’ve recently swapped ISP, from Zen to Andrew & Arnold. More specifically, I had an ADSL line from Zen, and I now have a VDSL line from A&A; this uses FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet), which BT have just deployed in my local exchange. I’m happy with the new service, and it’s definitely faster than …
