A Song for #SysAdminDay: ‘The Day The Routers Died…’ | via #RIPENCC Circa 2007
10 years ago during the then-forthcoming global transition from IPv4 to IPv6, the RIPE 55 conference featured this conference closing song and performance by Gary Feldman that is a nod to SysAdmins everywhere – it’s an epic, near-6-minute re-write of the classic Don McLean homage tune “American Pie.” Check out those video wipe animations – whew!
“Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die” Full lyrics can be found in the description of the YouTube video.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
