Update May 6, 2012: New images!

For those of you who don’t know, one of our longtime Mozor members, Pyotr, lives in Sweden. Since we at Mozor like to remind him of this, we are starting the tradition of going to Ikea and sending him random pictures.

Feel free to post links in the comments, and we’ll put them in the post.

Happy Friday the Thirteenth!

I originally posted this on my own blog, but have decided it should be here as well since whfsdude is the one who made this possible. Plus, at Mozor, we’re all about IPV6.

Jeff Forman put up a blog post on his website detailing how he got the Comcast IPV6 working through the trial. His setup explains exactly how to do this if you’re trying to get it to work on a Linux box, but not how to do this on your router and put it through your entire network. I’m running the custom DD-WRT build by crushedhat that gets IPV6 working, and have been using it with a HurricaneElectric tunnel for awhile. With the help of my friend whfsdude on Mozor I’ve been able to make this work. I can’t guarantee that it will work for you, and whenever you’re trying to install custom firmware on a router, you should be careful, as you can brick your router.

We will be recording a podcast tonight between 2000 and 2130 EST (that’s 8pm to 9:30pm EST for those of you who aren’t military time literate). If you’d like to participate, preferably tell whfsdude. You will need Skype!

If you’d like to hear the podcast when it is complete and you have iTunes, you can easily subscribe to our podcast!

We are currently toying with the idea of doing a podcast for mozor.net. You can see it over here

We will allow others to be part of the podcast via skype or telephone. If you’re interested please email podcast at mozor.net to get all the information you need, or hop on the channel #mozor.

A user asked in #mozor today how to setup mIRC to automatically join some channels and how to have auto-identify to NickServ. I played around a little bit with mIRC coding and have some code snippets that might help.

First off, channel joins can be done through the Favorite Channels list in mIRC, so you don’t HAVE to code this in. But, if you’d rather do this the hard way, I’ve got it mentioned. I’d also recommend not using the method below to automatically authenticate, because it doesn’t take into account what happens if services fails for a bit and you need to re-authenticate.

To start with, we need to add a connect clause, and tell it to only do this if the network is Mozor!

on *:CONNECT: { if (mozor isin $network) { } }

Next, we need to add the appropriate values in to tell it to identify, and to join some channels. In my example, I want to delay joining the channels to give NickServ time to identify me first, and I join #mozor and #mozor2…

on *:CONNECT: { if (mozor isin $network) {
.timer 1 5 .join #mozor
.timer 1 6 .join #mozor2
}
}

You’ll notice I have .timer 1 5 on one line, and .timer 1 6 on the next. All this does is tells mIRC to delay that command by 5 seconds, and the next by 6 seconds. You can replace those with whatever numbers you want, in seconds, just keep in mind that not giving NickServ enough time may cause you to not be opped automatically when you join, and you may not yet have your services-provided hostmask.

Lastly, we want to identify when NickServ tells us we’re not identified. Here’s the code for that.

on *:NOTICE:*This*nickname*is*registered*:?: { .msg nickserv identify PASSWORD }

Needless to say, you’ll want to replace PASSWORD with your actual password.

Hopefully, this will help our users out!
