I have been suffering from a lame internet connection, since we got the new provider and the Fritz!Box. I just couldn't really determine, what is the culprit for it being so slow - despite raising speed from 1000 to 3000 kBit/s.

When I some time ago found out, that my flatsharer with his Windoze XP machine, doesn't suffer from performance reduction (that dumbass - why couldn't he tell me that before?!? He knew, that I had problems!!), the only question remaining to me, was:

What cool technology do I use with Linux, that he doesn't on XP?

Well, the answer is simple - IPv6 !

After recompiling my kernel to have IPv6 support as a module and not loading that - weeee, do I have some fast internet! :)

This also explains, why it was much faster with the former setup - using a SuSE 9.1 machine for routing. The Linux-machine knows, how to handle IPv6 - Fritz!Box doesn't... :-/

Let's hope, that they will fix this!

Yup, yup, you can reach this site by http://amette.eu now.

For now it's only a redirect to alexander-mette.de. I don't feel, that .eu represents me better than .de. Though amette is still better than alexander-mette.

What do you think?

So today was the "European Legislation" test, which I feared pretty much - this morning I was pretty sure still, that I won't make it.

But well, it went pretty nicely, with a lot of questioning in the beginning about the development of the European Union. I could pretty much gather points here. After that there was a case to solve, which was really a difficult one. I could have never made it alone, but luckily we were three examinees, so that the work distributed on the three of us. And the other two were pretty good in that, so I only had to add a little bit here and there.. ;)

So, after the 4 in the written part, I got a 2,3 in this oral test today. Pretty good, so today is holiday! The rest I have to do regarding my studies is pretty fun stuff, so I don't bother any more too much. :)

Sorry, no deep link possible afaik. Just enter http://flickr.com yourself. Or try with with some link to an image-page (like this: http://flickr.com/photos/ahswan/115958953/ ) - doesn't help them against me! :P

It doesn't work completely as I wanted, but well... I know myself, if I don't do it now, I won't do it at all. I'll try to incrementally make it better. ;)
