    Here's a quick write up on building a board to power and control a Color Kinetics ColorBurst 4 RGB LED floodlight using 802.3at PoE+ and a Ag5324 PoE PD module.

    I'm not sure what caused 1.1.1.1 to return the top response format for a few hours last night but it's back to the bottom response format this morning.

    I discovered last night that the Microchip MCC TCP/IP DNS client only handles DNS responses where the answer NAME is a pointer to the QNAME. If the answer NAME is text, the client fails. The top DNS response fails. The bottom DNS response succeeds.

    Thanks Daily Herald for the coverage on UTOPIA Fiber! At 27k+ subscribers and the top rating for broadband in Utah, things are going very well at UTOPIA Fiber!

    Nearly four years(!) to the day of starting my little journey to help Fort Collins, CO get city gigabit service. In two hours, I'll have 's 1gig residential service. Sorry, Comcast. It's you, not me.

    Trying to set up a space to make project videos. Lots of pieces still not in place. With some softboxes these lights will work. Need to move camera closer, get some stools, and find some interesting props for the background.

    Managed to get a quick photo of the assembled very large splice enclosure before they closed the vault and drove off. There's two 144 fiber cables and a 24 fiber cable coming out of the bottom of the enclosure. Red tape points toward FDH/CO. Blue tape points toward houses.

    Inside the FDH, fibers from up to 32 homes are combined using a passive optical splitter into a feeder fiber. The feeder fibers then run to an OLT at a fiber hut co-located at an electrical substation. From there, it's redundant 100 Gbps fiber to core routers and to the Internet.

    When the splice truck drives off there will be virtually continuous piece of fiber from the vault for the drop fibers to the fiber distribution hub (FDH) at the edge of the neighborhood.

    The fusion splicer automatically aligns the ends of the fibers then applies heat using an electric arc to fuse them into a single continuous piece of glass. A separate heater at the back of the machines shrinks heat shrink tubing to protect the splice.

    The distribution fiber contains 144 fibers. He'll roll up the ones that don't need to be spliced into the splice tray on the workbench in the previous photo. He'll then use a fusion splicer similar to this one to splice the 6 fibers to our vault into the cable.

    Meanwhile across the street in the splice truck, another technician exposes the fibers in the distribution fiber. He'll carefully pull out six of the fibers from this larger cable and splice them to the six used fibers feeding into the vault.

    All sealed up and waiting for the drops fibers. The larger conduit holds the distribution fiber. The three smaller empty conduits go to the flower pots in front of our houses and will hold the drop fibers. All the tracer wires are grounded in the vault.

    24-count gel filled fiber mounted in a small splice enclosure. The 6 fibers that will feed the houses on my cul-de-sac are routed to the top; the 18 unused fibers to the bottom. The slots will hold the fusion splices connecting to the drop fibers.

    Oh look, there's some guys splicing fiber on my street.
