At the ICANN meeting this afternoon in LA IPv6 is a hot topic.

The SSAC open meeting’s agenda includes both a study of hardware support for ipv6 and the roundtable I’m currently sitting in at. The roundtable includes Vint Cerf and representatives from a very wide range of backgrounds.

The kind of questions being asked are fundamental.

How can promoted v6?

How can they promote it?

How can you get content providers to use it?

I don’t expect any answers, but the discussion should be interesting

In a few short hours the IE domain registry will receive the first batch of applications for “personal” IE domains.

As I’m on the other side of the globe at the moment (in LA) I won’t be around to see what happens. I’m hoping that everything runs smoothly and that our team will do a good job. I’ve every confidence in them, but I’ve also got to be realistic – issues will arise and problems will occur. No matter how much you try to plan around these things it’s impossible to avoid every issue!

In the meantime I’ll be keeping track of what’s going on at the ICANN meeting here in Los Angeles, California.

IP addresses aren’t very exciting.

Trying to communicate with people about IP addresses is far from easy, so it’s nice to see that ICANN have published a guide to IPv6 for human beings!

The Fast and The Furious, originally uploaded by blacknight.

I spent most of yesterday out at Universal Studios, which lies above Burbank, where WB is based.

It’s much more of a theme park than a studio, but it’s still good fun.

Wandering around I came across a bunch of cars that had featured in The Fast and The Furious and its sequels.

It’s now 6am. I’ve been up since 4am. I think I got some sleep, but I woke up several times.

I’m waiting to board a flight from Dublin to London, and then onto LA.

Since my neck / back give me trouble in the best of circumstances I’ve decided to try one of those travel pillow things

I’ve no idea if it will work on the flight from London to LA, but I’m willing to give it a try!

It doesn’t take up much space in my laptop bag which is handy!

It’s better to be fashionably late, than to simply not turn up!

Some time back Damien mentioned that Sublime Wines were interested in getting people to review their wines. In return for a bottle all you had to do was write a review.

So what happened?

Well I got the wine, but then I got sidetracked with stuff and things and never got round to writing the review.

As for the wine… Well, I’ve always liked a drop of wine.

A nice fruity wine might be sold as a perfect companion for a meal, however there’s nothing wrong with settling into a bottle while relaxing and watching a DVD in the comfort of your home. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it!

The wine on offer was a 2004 Alaia

I don’t think I’d ever tried Alaia previously, as I tend to stick with much stronger wines, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

I did enjoy it, but I’m not sure if I’d go out of my way to grab a bottle again. However that is no reflection on the wine itself, but more a reflection of my taste buds!
