This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote PNRP and Linux, on the subject of LazyWeb and Linux.

Anyone know anything about this PNRP thing where Microsoft Vista machines will have their own "domain name" without registering with DNS? In particular, does it use some MS-specific stuff that'll stop anyone else using it? I've read the spec but I don't really understand it...

No sign of a RFC number and patent encumbered. Looks like a Microsoft attempt to establish a standard by themselves.

PNRP is documented by MS - and there is even an implementation working on linux: http://carnivore.it/2011/03/27/pnrp
