Comment system changed
30/08/2009 10:51
I've just switched my commenting system over from HaloScan to Echo.
As a result all of the previous comments are currently unavailable but I'm working on getting them back.
Due to some other site changes the header images are also temporarily back to the theme default but I should have this fixed soon.

NEC Ranger Pages Removed
31/05/2008 21:36
Update: The pages are now back online. You can read more about it here.
One of the sections that existed on previous versions of my site was the NEC Ranger AK resource guide.
This section had some programming and usage information for the NEC Ranger AK; a popular small business telephone system introduced in 1989.
I hadn’t updated those pages in over 5 years, and I didn’t bother after one unscrupulous party started selling the “manual” (which was just a complete rip of that part of my site).
I still have some of the content, but don’t have the complete set of manuals anymore (I haven’t laid my hands on the Ranger since 2002 when I removed it from my house and upgraded to a different system).
Parts for the system are becoming quite rare, and I’d suggest trying Telephone Wreckers if you need a replacement part. If they don’t have it, I’m not sure who else to try.
If you’re after information that was previously online (ie: programming or usage info), get in touch with me and I’ll see what I can do to help.
New Site Launched
27/05/2008 21:34
Over the past 8 years there have been several reincarnations of se.id.au and shaunewing.com - my personal web sites.
I took the site offline some time ago because the design had aged along with the content that went with it. I had some great plans in place to build a great web site with all different resources, but unfortunately I never had the time.
Many times I have started building a site, but by the time it starts nearing completion I am sick of the design and want to start again. This process has been going on for too long.
To get the site back online as quickly as possible, I have decided to create a basic site using iWeb on my Macbook Pro.
The site has some basic info on me, as well as my online journal. I’ll also be placing various resources and other information online as time goes by.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch!

Site Now IPv6 Enabled
24/05/2008 21:32
As some of you may know, the AussieHQ data network has been IPv6 enabled for approximately 3 months now.
In that time I have been working on developing a set of procedures for provisioning and managing our IPv6 resources, as well as what exactly is required for both shared and dedicated services to utilise IPv6.
I firmly believe that IPv6 is a classic example of the chicken and the egg dilemma. While IPv6 has been around since the late 1990s, content providers such as AussieHQ have not yet deployed the technology because there haven’t been enough people viewing IPv6 content to justify the effort.
To make matters even worse, ISPs aren’t providing IPv6 enabled connectivity because there are no major content providers out there providing IPv6 content.
As part of our effort to break out of this cycle, we are now slowly rolling out IPv6 across our network. Our main web site is IPv6 enabled, along with several dedicated servers and our Australian PHP mirror at http://au.php.net/
Unfortunately we still have the issue where the various software that we use to manage aspects of our shared hosting environment will only support IPv4. This means that we may be unable to roll out IPv6 to sites on our shared hosting network until the vendor software supports it.
This web site has been IPv6 enabled as a test site to determine what exactly is required to activate the technology on our shared hosting network, as well as provide a test case to evaluate what does and does not work in a shared hosting environment.
I’ll be sure to post more on this as my experiments continue. In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact me.
