ok, the ‘bat book’ and sendmail are seriously weird and scary. So years ago I chewed my way through a qmail install. It was allot of work. It was strange. it ended up to be working, but I was not looking forward to doing it again. I looked what people hat to say about other MTAs. Some people mentioned postfix, but there was a back and forth about qmail and postfix.
Then I lost some email. That is motivation enough.
I tried postfix. I thought it would take hours, like it did with qmail.
Instead it took minutes.
Postfix is so much nicer than qmail for the casual mail hoster,
it is unbelievable. qmail? shiver. Don’t even bother. postfix is it.
interesting article, sorry for the skewed and misleading link.
could not resist.
whatever happened to:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
?
I have to tell you. It's just a great time in my life. I'm really happy. And, you know, I'm engaged. I'm going to be married. I can't restrain myself.
who would have said this?
Next role: “Battlefield Earth II” which goes straight to dvd and will be sold out to the deciples within three minutes.
I am running a slightly modified Kubrick theme here. Looks ok, one day I get rid of the rounded corners.
One thing that bothered me (and some other people) was that links were not working in Archives or categorized entry display.
The fix was as easy as surprising:
Just remove the handling of archive’s and wordpress will default to the normal display. I feel that is nicer any way: Having one constient style for you blog. Not sure what I overlook. In case you like to have links working in category view just do the equivalent of:
cd wp-content/themes/default
mv archive.php not.archive.php
Looks like it works.
Consumers today encounter from 3,500 to 5,000 marketing messages per day, vs. 500 to 2,000 in the 1970s, says J. Walker Smith, president of consumer and marketing watcher Yankelovich.
from USA today
the duke of count says:
assuming you are awake for 16 hours that means you get a new
marketing message every eleven seconds.
Nice!
Over the last ten years you had a bigger chance of being struck by lightning in the USA then get killed by a terrorist attack.
Don’t get me wrong: Every live lost is an unmeasurable catastrophy.
Not all people that get struck by lightning will die. Lightning killed more people than terror in the US over the last forty years maybe.
Assuming seventy three deaths a year by lightning.
It would be funny if I would get struck by lightning after writing this.
the new list of super computers is out
I must admit I can not visualize a ‘teraflop’ or ‘gigaflop’ etc.
The BBC writes that in order get this year into the list of the 500 fastest computers you need to have 1.1 Teraflops. Last year 850 gigaflops were enough.
somewhere else the BBC writes that the Sony playstation 3 will have 218 gigaflops.
In other words: if you would be able to ‘gaffer tape’ four playstations 3 together then you have more power than the 500 fastet computer on the planet last year.
Somehow the top500 list has different numbers than the BBC. Still, the last one looks like a monster: 184 Power4 CPUs.
Somewhere else I read that a “Blue Gene” with 300 Terraflops would cost 100 Million US.
If you would pay the same for your flops in the Playstation 3, then you would need to shell out 72,666 US$ for that console.
72,466 should buy you allot of gaffer tape. Or Sony made those Gigaflop numbers up.
There were neither arrests, nor were there any attacks.
Did those bad guys retire to florida?
