It seems that even hobocomp has a present under the Christmas tree this year. This surprised me even more than hobocomp's letter to Santa:

Dear Santa,
    This year, for Christmas I would like an additional IPv4 address. 
I have been a good little computer this past year. Despite this, ARIN has
denied my request for additional address space, but I'm still wishing for one.
    
    Thanks,
    Hobocomp

p.s. I promise not to take over the world.

Hobocomp's new (additional) IP is 67.194.198.21 (for the rest of the 2010 semester), and seems to have used the additional address to host sshd on every open port (including 80).

Additionally, with some help from Rusty, hobocomp is now running a DNS tunnel (IPv4 over DNS) using iodine. I won't mention all of the benefits one can get from being able to do this neat trick*, but if you know them (or want to know them), get in contact with me, and I'll provide you with the password and configuration.

For fun, I decided to run the tunnel all the way from California - I was surprised I was able to even complete this speed test: *hint: starts with an "f" and ends in "ree internet"
