June 30, 2008. Infoweapons releases SolidIPConfig. It is an IPv6 configuration tool for Windows. It will help for a faster adoption of IPv6. It is free. It gives the company some presence in the free software world. And I haven't tried it yet. :)
July 4, 2008. InfoWeapons DNS appliance bags IPv6 Ready Gold certification. The product was previously certified IPv6 Ready Silver so this is basically an upgrade and more pogi points for the product. More information on the IPv6 Ready Logo program here.
Founder and chairman Lawrence Hughes has been very busy with speaking engagements everywhere. This is a good way to educate the world about IPv6 as well as an opportunity to pitch the company to the rest of the industry.
The IPv6 milestone set June 2008 came and passed by. There's no clear picture yet to me on whether it translated to $$ for IPv6 products vendors especially Infoweapons. It only required that equipments be able to speak IPv6; not that everybody should actually talk IPv6.
Staff
Many of my engineer-acquaintances from infoweapons are no longer there. They have 'jumped ship'. That is normal, I think, for a start-up.
These top people are no longer there also:
Steve Youngblood
Scott Kamp
-
Taylor Banks
You can check their linkedin or their personal blogs.
My previous blogs have caught the attention of Matthew Caldwell, CTO of infoweapons. He and Takashi Togawa are currently leading the Cebu operations. I'm sure everybody's glad it's peace and we're not in the 1940's or they would be doing something else that involves bullets.
A new look
The website is now sporting a new look since maybe mid of this year. As well as new company logo.
I'm IPv6. I'm IPv4.
The 'battle' for IPv6 is still ongoing and going forward; and infoweapons will continue to be in the heart of it. Clearly, we will become IPv6. How soon is still to be determined. Maybe they have to have something like the “I'm a Mac. I'm a PC.” ads.
