So now I’ve formatted and reinstalled Red Hat, but this time version 9.0. I ran up2date and everything is up to date … yes well. Anyway the next step is to reinstall qmail, plus SpamAssassin is already installed, so hopefully I won’t have the same problems as I did on Monday. I have a betterContinue reading Red Hat vs Windows
Here’s a handy hint I should put in for those of you who recall my escapades with Red Hat 8.0: Don’t delete the root user account, even if it’s by accident. I did. I recreated it with the same levels and everything, and then when I rebooted, I couldn’t log in. That’s sort of okay,Continue reading Don’t delete root …
I know most of you don't care, but I managed to configure qmail 1.0.3 on a Red Hat 8.0 machine, acting as a secure relay between my Microsoft Exchange 5.5 mail server and the SmoothWall 1.0 GPL firewall. Did everybody get that? Well, I did, and I am so chuffed with myself. Considering that getting the relay part to work was a lot of trial and error, and I only had one email returned to sender (a test sent by myself, to myself), I am very impressed with my accomplishments. Now I know I can do it, and let me tell you, it's not difficult if you read the instructions and use your common sense.
Okay, so I managed to reorder my Writing section (see previous entry) as I planned. The newest section, Articles, is very small, but I've already managed to cover everything from Racism to Customer Service to dismissing Einstein and Stephen Hawking's ideas on quantum theory. It's been interesting, to say the least, and I haven't even broken a sweat!
Yesterday was my first day at work since I was booked off for my operation, but I did come in last week Monday against my doctor's orders.
I just returned today from a three-day visit to my local hospital, to have a growth surgically removed. I'm alright, but still sore. I hate being sore. I was booked off work until next week, and I've had plenty of time to relax at least.
I’d like to propose a toast to the death of Concorde, one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever designed, whose last flight is today from JFK New York to Heathrow London.
To quote the Nature Boy Ric Flair, "Woooooooooooooooooooo!" I found a place to live! It's a two-bed, two-bath apartment on the top floor of a new complex, with a built-in braai (barbecue) on the balcony.
Is 1711 a large number of hits on a personal website with an obscure URL that has only been live since June 2003? I started the counter at 8000, being the approximate number of hits since I launched my original website, Randolph's Delusions of Grandeur, in October 1995. It then became Topkapi's Playroom for a long time, and finally Quantum Resonance. What scares me silly is that some of the original words are still on the current incarnation!
Whoopee! I got my package from Microsoft, courtesy of DHL. They sent me the Visual Studio.NET 2003 Enterprise upgrade, and it comes with a lot of goodies and other free stuff. Now I just gotta buy me a fast enough computer to run it on!
