[lug] World IPv6 day - Wed June 8!

[Neal McBurnett]

Is anyone planning anything fun for IPv6 day tomorrow (well, tomorrow
UTC, which starts 6pm MDT tonight)?  Gonna see what cool stuff is out
there for ipv6 only?

Background:

 http://worldipv6day.org/

 On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight
 Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will
 offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test flight". The goal
 of the Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the
 industry - Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating
 system vendors and web companies - to prepare their services for IPv6
 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.

 Please join us for this test drive and help accelerate the momentum
 of IPv6 deployment.

I just got an account at sixxs.net and signed up for a free ipv6
tunnel to my home.  Hopefully I'll have it before the trial is over
tomorrow evening :)

 To get SSL to work without complaining, you might want to first
 install CAcert's root cert as explained at
