intoDNS: checks DNS and mail servers health

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/06/06

In the past, I used checkdns.net for testing of a domain was configured correctly (including DNS and MX settings).

However, checkdns.net seems to be down or dead.

Luckily, intoVPS (with VPS servers in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Atlanta (USA), Cluj-Napoca (Romania) and Fremont (USA)) started lauched intoDNS a few years ago, and it works at least as good as checkdns.net used to work.

APNIC – Two /8s allocated to APNIC from IANA

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/01

The primary IANA allocation pool of IPv4 addresses has been exhausted as of februari 1st, 2011: then they allocated the final 2 blocks to APNIC:

the final allocation made by IANA under the current (ed.: IPv4) framework

The final 5 blocks will be allocated over the RIRs soon.

As of then, only regional allocations can be done.

So: Now is really the time to move on to IPv6.

Spoken @ CodeRage III, December 1-5, 2008 on Delphi, database and XML related topics

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/24

At the CodeRage III on-line virtual conference, I have done 4 sessions. CodeRage III logo
For me, it was the first time speaking at conference done this way.
A few things were different:

  • Sessions were 45 minutes presenting in stead of the normal 60 minutes
  • The main body of the session was pre-recorded, the 15 minute Q&A was live
  • I had to learn Camtasia
  • The broadcasts were done through LiveMeeting
