For those who care - I got bronchitis this weekend. Being sick sucks - I’m still fighting this off.
There is a minor upside, though - I get to watch my 2-yr old son play with his trains. That’s about all I have the attention span for anyway right now, thanks to drugs. You know you’re whacked when #linux is too high-brow for ya.
I’m trying this new gnome applet I found (Debian/Ubuntu users, apt-get install gnome-blog). Very minimalistic interface, but I think it’ll be great for hit-n-run posts or for quick notes. We’ll see… I’m still a big fan of the “ecto” blog client on Mac OS X.
With some prodding from hernan43, who’d gotten prodded by whiprush, I’m writing about my experience with Spamassassin 3.0 and SURBL.
To make it short, it’s amazing. Since SURBL looks at the hyperlinks embedded in spam-mail, it winds up being extremely effective. I installed SA 3.0 on it’s release day, and integrated it with my Messaging Server, just like I’d had 2.whatever setup. The difference was astonishing. I’d had to crank down the spam threshold to something like 3.8 in order to get a manageable inbox. Now, with SURBL goodness, I can have the spam threshold up higher at 7.0, because when an email comes in with a nasty link in it, it gets assigned a score of 10.0 automatically, and it’s therefore spam. (That’s how I have it setup.)
Result: false positives drastically reduced, and a smaller inbox. I’m a happy camper.
The car in this video is absolutely insane. It’s like a clown car on crack - crazy autocross action. If you watch the movie, stay with it to the surprise ending. :)
As an employee of Sun Micro; I get copies of every piece of software the company ships. As a result, I’m flooded in CDs, but that’s another story.
However, the Sun Java System Web Server comes with a little sheet in the doc package. I’ve scanned it, check it out:
