The Day The Routers Died

The Day The Routers Died... a song performed by the secret-wg in the closing plenary of the RIPE 55 conference

a long long time ago
i can still remember
when my laptop could connect elsewhere

and i tell you all there was a day
the network card i threw away
had a purpose - and worked for you and me....

But 18 years completely wasted
with each address we've aggregated
the tables overflowing
the traffic just stopped flowing....

And now we're bearing all the scars
and all my traceroutes showing stars...
the packets would travel faster in cars...
the day....the routers died



Chorus (ALL!!!!!)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try

Now did you write an RFC
That dictated how we all should be
Did we listen like we should that day

Now were you back at RIPE fifty-four
Where we heard the same things months before
And the people knew they'd have to change their ways....

And we - knew that all the ISPs
Could be - future proof for centuries

But that was then not now
Spent too much time playing WoW

ooh there was time we sat on IRC
Making jokes on how this day would be
Now there's no more use for TCP
The day the routers died...

Chorus (chime in now)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try

I remember those old days I mourn
Sitting in my room, downloading porn
Yeah that's how it used to be....

When the packets flowed from A to B
via routers that could talk IP
There was data..that could be exchanged between you and me....

Oh but - I could see you all ignore
The fact - we'd fill up IPv4

But we all lost the nerve
And we got what we deserved!

And while...we threw our network kit away
And wished we'd heard the things they say
Put all our lives in disarray

The day...the routers died...

Chorus (those silent will be shot)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try


Saw a man with whom I used to peer
Asked him to rescue my career
He just sighed and turned away..

I went down to the net cafe
that I used to visit everyday
But the man there said I might as well just leave...

And now we've all lost our purpose..
my cisco shares completely worthless...

No future meetings for me
At the Hotel Krasnapolsky

and the men that make us push and push
Like Geoff Huston and Randy Bush
Should've listened to what they told us....
The day...the routers....died

Chorus (time to lose your voice)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try

jag har mensvärk

or.. ehrm.. not me but, check it out.

this is for you swedes out there (well, nonswedes can see the fun aswell tbh). it's on swedish national tv 4. and well.. she got her period. no need for any more comments is there..?

update - video below got english subs (!)

deleted star wars sex scene

from star wars episode 3. speaks for itself doesn't it?

bugatti veyron

i'm not a huge fan of cars or pretty much anything technical, but this is just awsome. saw it on tv earlier today and found it on youtube as i just wanted to see it once more.

it's the bugatti veyron and the tv show is the british "top gear" and they try out this car too see if it really can do 407km/h and hell, it can. and it doesn't look that futuristic either, more like a normal sports car which makes it even better. impressive. i'd wish i had one of those and be able to try it out where they do ;<

a wicked korean guitarist

at first i didn't find it that impressive. but the longer i watched it, it kept on getting better, so i suggest you do the same.

torres signs and garcia leaves liverpool

fernando torres signed for liverpool on wednesday afternoon. it's hard to say this is the most exciting signing in several years. torres will wear GOD's shirt, the #9.

however, at the same time a personal favourite, king luis garcia decided to leave us to move back to spain and athletico madrid (where torres came from). he was one of the few in liverpool that could do pretty much whatever with the ball, now that he's lost there's not many left that can do the unexpected. garcia will forever stay in my thoughts as one of the reasons why liverpool was able to win the champions league in 2005. ynwa garcia, gl in madrid.

so.. i keep updating the same newsitems but i thought i would start a new one as the other ones are getting kinda crowded. i've btw reached 1500+ unique visitors just today. much appreciated. hope you like what you see :)

FOR MORE SCREENSHOTS AND VIDEO CLIPS SCROLL DOWN!

anyways.. here's a longer film clip. the funniest part with this one is that it has basshunter (who sings this crap song in swedish) as soundtrack. but the guy who made the clip is from brazil. now, how on earth does that work?! oh well. to the clip.. ain't really _that_ good. he's mostly just fooling around blowing stuff up. bet he will be a good beta tester for splash damage ...ehrm. oh well. here it is.


u can also download some gameplay movies that hkfclan is hosting:
gameplay - indoor fighting with assault rifle

paul potts, winner of britain's got talent

so.. i've actually been following the brittish show "britain's got talent" where i crowned the opera singer paul potts my favorite even though i'm not really a fan of opera. last night (sunday) it was time for the final and paul potts once again performed and sung nessun dorma (vincero). check it out.

paul potts was named the winner of britain's got talent. meaning £100.000 and the chance to sing infront of the british queen at the royal variety perfomance. the results (and the winning act again):

more etqw beta stuff

first. u can now d/l the manual for the beta from HERE (FPSAdmin.com), or u can visit THIS SITE (which actually is what u otherwise would be downloading).

then. there's been a etqw beta film clip released on youtube by some random dude. however, this one ain't official and due to that i'd believe it'll be taken down any second and the dude who made it will get his arse framed. anyway. enjoy while there's still time.

can't say he's really that good though ^^

triumph the insult comic dog

this one is old. but for some reason i've seemed to missed it before and my mate empee tipped me about it. it's just one of the best sketches/interviews ever. it's triumph the dog who reports for conan o'brien from the star wars episode 2 movie. 10 minutes of laughter, don't miss it.

as if that wasn't enough. triumph made a comeback when he reports from the red carpet at the 2007 tony awards. almost as good as the first one. don't miss the end, that's the juicy part ;)

brothers in arms - hell's highway

brothers in arms - hell's highway sure looks sweet. it's planned to released in q4 2007 for pc, ps3 and xbox360. to quote from the official site there is:

Brothers In Arms Hell’s Highway - Next Generation. The classic authentic, squad-based combat series explodes on next-generation hardware, offering unprecedented graphics and features.

New Story, New Setting. Follow Matt Baker, Joe Hartsock and the rest of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market-Garden as they fight to open infamous Hell’s Highway in a daring bid for a quick end to the war.

Live the Life of an Enlisted Man. Get orders from HQ, go on patrol, spot the enemy, and set up a devastating ambush. For the first time, finding the enemy before they find you is part of the challenge.

Unprecedented Character Design. Lifelike characters look, talk, move, and think with incredible realism. Game characters interact with the player and each other like true brothers-in-arms, trading ammunition, helping wounded allies, working together to man team-operated weapons, and more.

Rich Cinematic Experience. As the squad leader, you interact and get to know your brothers through the game. Each character has his own personality, unique story and background and grows through the game.

Powerful New Units Under Your Command. Players can use or command combined arms teams – machine gun crews create intense fire, bazooka crews destroy buildings and tanks, and mortar crews pound the enemy from a distance.

Step into the Boots of a Soldier. Hit the dirt and get prone, rip grenades from your chest and hurl them at your enemies. See and feel the blast of nearby explosions.

Destroyable Cover. Keep your men moving, and choose your cover wisely – simulated with real physics, weapons will damage, dent, scorch, and destroy the world around you.

Completely New Multiplayer Experience. Fight major Multiplayer battles with dozens of players on each side; all the intensity and accessibility of Deathmatch meshed with the squad-based gameplay that helped make Brothers in Arms famous.

question is if the multiplayer will be any good. dozens of players on each side doesn't really soon that good if u ask me. however, singleplayer will pwn by the look of it.

just recently a trailer was released by ubisoft and gearbox software. check it out.


if u wanna see more check out the 13 mins long (divided in two) movies where the developers give a taste of what singleplayer will be like.

forza paul potts

as i wrote about just the other day (click here) i'm not into opera that much. but this dude is awsome. the show "britain's got talent" seems to have reached semifinals and this clip is from that episode. enjoy.

vincero, britains really got talent!

well. from this english talent show i found this clip. this dude doesn't look good, he doesn't seem to think highly of himself, he's got a shitty job, the judges are just waiting at him to make a fool out of himself on national tv as he says he's there to sing opera. then, he opens his mouth, shows his not that beautiful teeths - just to prove everyone wrong about pretty much everything one could've expected.

opera might not be my thing, but.. pavarotti better watch it because here comes paul potts who, before this atleast, works at a car phone warehouse in britain.

ventrilo harassment

found these (through my mate farlig) and they are just great. especially if you have some experience from ventrilo/teamspeak yourself. but why oh why do people have public ventrilo servers?!? listen, and enjoy! hard to say which one is the best really, find your own favourite ;)

britain's got talent?

when i was a kid i used to love michael jackson.. maybe that explains why i find this video clip hillarious. but.. this could only happend in britain. i reckon this is from some kinda tv show where they are looking for talents in britain. i have absolutely no idea how old this one is either but still - laughable.

auto phone sex

i so hope there isn't a service that works like this one. and ok, this might be my bad sense of humour.. but.. but.. ok, no excuses. it's fun god damnit!
