IPv6, Site design and Wikipedia extensions 

A friend has gotten an IPv6 /48 block, and has allocated me a /64. This involved setting up a tunnel (6on4), and setting up radvd to announce addresses to the LAN. Once these were properly configured it all works. Can't find anything to actually DO with it, yet, although using it as a VLAN with other members of the /96 is one thing we're discussing.

I had to hack on Plesk to allow the VPS hosting this domain to hand out AAAA records. The web UI won't allow it, but they can be inserted into the database that is used to generate the BIND configuration files. Now, home.wizarth.com.au contains an AAAA record for my home router. Because my IPv4 address is dynamic, there is no A record.

Spent time redoing the front page of the EvoGrid website, so it is more newcomer friendly. The original page was a copy-paste of a research proposal, and was very wordy.

Worked on the Wikipedia plugins to do what I wanted. 3 hours of debugging for 8 lines of code. But this has given us working terminology tool-tips (without the contributor needing to mark them), and has also in-line RSS displays. I also extended some of my simple embedding parsers, so that we can embed youtube clips, and others.

Mailman, RSS and Mediawiki 

Working on integrating a mailing list with a wiki. The method that occurred to me was to use a RSS feed and a mediawiki plugin to bring the RSS into a side box on the front page of the site.
Unfortunately, Mailman doesn't produce RSS. However, a patch exists which technically works. A bit more hacking, and I've gotten it to actually useful (URL's now go to the actual articles now). There are still some limitations (RSS entries won't cross month boundaries) that I hope to work on, and the wikimedia RSS integration is not displaying articles with duplicate titles (as an email thread will have).

Apache 

Configured Apache to redirect visitors to virtual hosts with many aliases to one domain name. Tried to find a generic way of doing it (using ServerName vs ServerAlias) but was unable to do so. So did it manually for each of the domains.
