I found again some “news” saying that IPv4 is going to run out of the IP addresses this year. I don’t really think that this is a surprise. How could it be, because we have had news about this for years now. If you don’t know what the difference is, IPv4 has addresses like XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. Most of the modern world is based on these addresses, but we must see that they are going to run out at some point. Sure, there might be possibilities to extend the time that IPv4 has left (some big companies like IBM have a ridiculous amount of these addresses on their account). It isn’t really something that you would like to see, because we really should just move to IPv6. The amount requirement for IP addresses is going no where but up. IPv6 would bring us a nice amount of new addresses and moving is just something that we can’t avoid and so it shouldn’t be push the move back anymore. (the month that the IPv4 addresses are going to run out this years September)
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) controls the blocks of IP addresses. A block is a segment of numbers, not something that we give to each individual person buying a domain. It’s a set of addresses, that large companies can buy for themselves to sell in the future. IANA is going to have some kind of ceremony when it sells the last blocks, just to make people understand how significant this is.
Our internet just does not want to work at the moment. I don’t know the exact reason for this and I really can’t even make a educated guess to why this is happening. I tried to ping from command line and I tried to load some pages with the browser, but neither one of these attempts really helped.
I’m watching a long speech between two individuals from Youtube. They are just saying how important it is to have passion to what you’re doing. The best example they gave was Albert Einstein. He didn’t do that well at school, but he learned these things about physics and math by himself, because he was really passionate about them. You would be willing to do these extremely long days on something that you feel passionate about and something that you would do on your own and without any real rewards from the outside world. I think that I have seen these with some people. Like I know one person who hasn’t really ever learned programming at school, but does feel really passionate about programming and is really good at it. And yes, he thought all the skills for that himself.
It just makes you wonder that are you going to find anything like this ever. Another thing that I’m wondering at the moment is what is happening with this internet. It does work in some ways, but the connection isn’t that stable. But the Youtube videos have loaded again something like 10 minutes and that is good for me.
I have already reached 500 words on todays blog. I think that I have some words back here that I could use as the word of the day today.
im-pli-ca-tion : the conclusion that can be drawn from something, although is isn’t explicitly stated, or isn’t clearly stated
This is a great word that I have heard a few times in Big Bang Theory. It’s just funny to find some of these words that are just so basic, but for some reason you still don’t understand that contents before you read the definition. This is just a great piece of information.
