Photo by mattdork<\/a>The day has come. It\u2019s the official end<\/a> of the floppy disk. Well, it isn\u2019t just yet, but we\u2019re really in it\u2019s afterlife right now.  If you\u2019re still interested in one of the more interesting floppy based projects<\/a>, stack up now! 1.44 MB isn\u2019t really relevant anymore in these days of Terabytes, yet, the floppy was a great and very successful invention. I still have hundreds laying around containing relevant data and applications. It\u2019s just too much work to move all that stuff to Cd\u2019s or DVDs. I just wonder if this <\/a>had anything to do with it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This however isn\u2019t the reason I am writing this post. There\u2019s something else. I had a very good read today that I would not want to keep to myself. It\u2019s the 2009 year report of Euro-IX<\/a>, the organisation that bring together the Internet Exchanges of Europe. You can read it here<\/a>. This really is a very interesting set of data. It tells you all sorts of figures about the Internet in Europe. Yes, really, figures. Mathematicians and Statisticians, please take notice, I\u2019m talking significant data here. If you\u2019re into graphs and tables, grab that PDF before it goes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One other thing Euro-IX did was release an educational film about the workings of the Internet. It\u2019s not like Warriors of the Net<\/a>, which already was brilliant, it\u2019s the bigger picture. I\u2019ll embed it here, it\u2019s that good! So if you always wanted to know what an Internet Exchange actually is and didn\u2019t want to head over to Wikipedia<\/a>, click play below!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
