RFC 1924 - A Compact Representation of IPv6 Addresses edit / delete

"This document specifies a more compact representation of IPv6 addresses, which permits encoding in a mere 20 bytes." Yes, it's an April 1st RFC, but it's not *that* silly an idea...

Monster of the Week - The Complete Cartoon X-Files edit / delete

The X-Files, one episode at a time, in cartoon form. (Well, at the moment it's the first four seasons only, owing to the author having more pressing matters to attend to, I assume.) Highly amusing.

Andrew M. Odlyzko edit / delete

There's various well-written, interesting material here on the historical intersection of economics and technology (e.g. railways and the Internet); the best are collected on the "technology and financial manias" page. Why the Internet bubble was nothing new, and probably didn't have the impact you thought it had.

Michael J Mahon's Home Page: NadaNet, AppleCrate, Synth edit / delete

Using 17 Apple II motherboards and a homebrew network system to build a 16-voice synthesiser is a bit silly. Also quite cool, though.
