Re: My yak's hair arrived!

Mine too, based on a discussion on the HE forums it appears that they run batches of T-Shirts at irregular intervals (perhaps twice a year).

Sweet, I just passed the tests as well. Either I know more about IPv6 than I thought or the tests were relatively easy. I started the tests this morning and finished them in a couple hours including taking a break to go cook me some lunch lol.

I suppose it did help I have my own mail server (Exchange) to help with the IPv6 mail tests. The DNS tests were easy, they host my DNS (which ironically I had just found out about and switched to just before starting all the tests). It's free, »dns.he.net and supports PTR records too for a complete package. I still had to setup glue records at GoDaddy for my domain but a little bit of Googling solved that problem. Not sure how to do it on other registrars but I can point anyone using GoDaddy where to go if they are stuck on that.

Regarding the t-shirts, does anyone know if they are pre-shrunk? I suspect so as most are nowadays. I like shirts that aren't skin tight or form fitting and normally go for XL if they aren't pre-shrunk or XXL if they are. Seems to work well so I ordered the XXL. Just hope it's pre-shrunk and not going to be immensely baggy on me lol.

Yeah their questionnaires seemed to be geared toward gauging their approach to the tests. I got the hint they may make it paid in the future and it would most certainly be harder then (I hope). It makes sense they would make the tests easy, at least the competency tests. IPv6 has a hard road to climb from so many die hard IPv4 users, no need to add more FUD to the fire. The practical tests (DNS, web, mail) at least show you've got IPv6 in some fashion and have put it to use.

Very true on the shirts. I saw a lot of people hit Sage while I was progressing through the tests so I imagine they have a large shirt order at times. It does make sense to batch them though, it costs them less done that way. And yeah, it may not be Hanes each time.
