Goodbye training wheels
-----------------------

As anybody who's seen the hostname for my gopherhole will have
probably guessed, it's been piggybacking on a domain name that I use
for another project of mine related to my day job and completely
unrelated to the lambda lab.

But no more!

As of today, you can point your VF-1s, Lynxes and Moku Ponas at
gopher://thelambdalab.xyz.  The old address will continue working
in the short term, but will be removed eventually.

As an added bonus, I've updated scratchy [1] to support IPv6
connections.  Thanks to Jim Ursetto's wonderful tcp6 egg [2], this
required changing literally one line of code! So you can now say hello
to the future and come visit me on gopher://[2604:180:2:81b::2]!
(Of course thelambdalab.xyz also has an AAAA record, but hex is fun.)
