I saw a post on a forum that I frequent from someone asking about cleaning their laptop.
Most manufacturers recommend just cleaning with a damp cloth of some sort, not me! I’ve been using these Screen-Clene thingo’s, they are like a ‘wipe’. They work really well and are non alcoholic (like me, heh heh, cough)

The Booq Viper EXO arrived today. How exciting. It’s very nice, laptop fits snug, my stuff fits in there nice. Although it can get squeezy! It seems really tough, and the protection for my Macbook Pro is rather good! The shoudler strap is pretty cool and made out of seatbelt style material (like in your [...]
The WRX is in for it’s first service since we bought it. 5,000km’s.
It gets treated to new oil and oil filter and thats pretty much it!
The best thing about the service, is that it’s broken in enough to give it a belting now, awesome!

Last night I setup a backup scheme for a client, they have two Linux machines, a mail server and an intranet server, with no real backup….
I setup a little ‘rsync’ script, that uses SSH to copy data from one machine to the other. It’s all setup on the one server, it copies data off the [...]
Another weekend bites the dust. What a shame weekends just aren’t long enough!
I spent saturday upgrading some Linux servers for a client. It went well. Two machines. From Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 6. The only snag was that one of the servers (intranet server) refused to run the php intranet app after the [...]
This is a project I finished not too long ago and wrote about on macrumors.com. It’s basically a G5 20″ iMac, on the wall in my kitchen, it’s very cool.

Since changing over my home server last night, I’ve had to re-configure spam filtering.
A quick run down:
sendmail, procmail, spamassassin.
added this to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
FEATURE(`dnsbl’, `list.dsbl.org’)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl’, `bl.spamcop.net’)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl’, `sbl.spamhaus.org’)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl’, `blackholes.mail-abuse.org’)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl’, `relays.mail-abuse.org’)dnl
my /etc/procmailrc:
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0 fw
* < 256000
| /usr/bin/spamc -f
my per user /home/user/.procmailrc files:
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
:0 H
* ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes
{
EXITCODE=67
:0:
spam
}
Explanation. I’ll keep it short. we’re blacklisting regular spamers using a few servers listed in sendmail.mc so [...]
My home office Linux server for several years has just been sold and is now gone! A sad day. In it’s place, temporarily, is a Celeron 2.4ghz, 512MB ram, 40gig hdd machine, it sucks. It has Fedora Core 6 on it, and the migration from my previous server seemed to go well.
This machine is temporary, [...]
