ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers), the organization that manages IP address allocations for the North American region, has finally reached its IPv4 endgame. That is, it finally had a request it could not honour due to limited stock of IPv4 addresses. Continue reading “IPv4 and ARIN”

There have been many reports lately about police misconduct and brutality. While the occasional error in judgement is to be expected – they’re humans after all – it does raise an interesting point. Should police officers be held to a higher standard than the general public?

I just encountered an interesting video on Youtube. It’s a rebuttal of some of the idiocy surrounding modern feminist ideology. It’s framed as a response to another video but it stands nicely on its own. It deals primarily with violence and sexual assault but its message goes further than that.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Violence of all kinds against women is wrong. But so is violence of all kinds against men. And cats. And small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

Without further ado, here’s the link to the video: https://youtu.be/PjZIAkg9aQI

For your viewing pleasure (once it finishes processing), part 11 in my SimCity 4 city construction series:

 

All three of my regular readers will probably have noticed that ads have appeared my site. I have put the ads up because there is a non-zero cost associated with running a web site. At the lowest level, there is the hosting cost and domain registration cost. Those costs are relatively small but are there nevertheless. The real cost, however, is the time required to manage the content, and, in particular, the time required to create new content.

It is not difficult to discover that my posts here do not come on a regular basis. This is partly due to how often I have an idea I feel I can write about. However, since there is no shortage of current events to mine for ideas, that is merely an excuse. If I had a stronger motivation to write additional content, I would, no doubt, find that ideas are not so difficult to discover.

The upshot of all this is that if ad revenue reaches sufficient levels, or if it even shows the potential to reach such levels, I will have more motivation to expand the content of the site. It is my sincere hope that the ads do not detract too much from the actual content of the site, but I do fear that such things are an unavoidable reality.

Of course, any comments on the topic are welcome.
