    by  • 23rd May 2009

    Over the last 2 weeks we were moving our offices to Aldwych. Atticmedia has moved from Islington and BDP moved from London Bridge. This move has changed my commute route. Now I have to travel to the centre of London. On the Tube or bus this will be unpleasant. Recently, Boris ( the Mayor...

I’ve looked a bit dipper and it looks like only www.l.google.com has IPv6 working. To make things easier, I’ve dropped whole google.com and...
