It's ALIVE!!!

As I said elsewhere -- the world needs more mad scientists, and, I promise to keep this monster in the basement until it can be socialized for nice walks in the park...  Maybe I'll even give it a name -- how do people feel about Lil' Marvin?

Lil' Marin isn't that big, or that scary.  He's actually quite mundane.  But for a first experiment, I thought I'd start with something small, something you might do with your My First Monster kit.  (And a special note to Mom and Dad here -- if the little evil genius in your life needs a reward for being a bad little boy, these things make great Christmas presents....)

Lil' Marvin, like any beginner's kit is designed to do something simple, and to work even for the beginning evil despite.  In this case, because this is a blog about software, this was the quick (discount brand) Bernie Clogmyer recipie for an IPv6 server setup.  (OK, it's someone else, the baking lady Betty, or Bettsy, or Buela, I can't remember... but we'd have to pay if we used her name and likeness.)

There are lots of good HOW-TOs to do this, but none were, in my view, a true recipie.  Many said, "3 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, and some other stuff we'll mention on another box..."  There was always something missing, if you wanted it to just work you had to do some digging.  I've dug, and the recipie is here.
