New IP Address
December 16, 2009 – 3:26 pm
Well, as a cost saving measure and because we really weren’t using more than one, we’ve cut back to a single IP address. Time Warner Cable is the biz Internet provider. They’ve been very helpful in setting up reverse DNS lookups and PTR records, but at the same time the transfer to the new IP […]
Baby Steps to Healthcare Reform
October 21, 2009 – 8:46 am
Since I’m sure all members of Congress will have the opportunity to read and comprehend the entirety of whatever is the current healthcare legislation the following small steps to improve the situation will be meaningless. I have 3 simple proposals that could fit on a single page. Heck, it fits in a single post.
Eliminate pre-existing […]
Fail2ban on Leopard Server
September 24, 2009 – 4:52 pm
So here I am running my own server — for almost 2 years now. It’s been a real learning experience and I’ve tried to share. My latest add-on has been fail2ban. I got tired of looking into my logs and seeing where script kiddies or bots were trying to take control of my server. Fortunately, […]

Well, I’ve found out that someone is hijacking my posts with no attribution and no permission. I’m not even sure I understand the logic as there isn’t even any advertising there — yet.

Amavisd settings
March 16, 2009 – 10:03 am
I run my own mail server on OS X Server. For the most part I have my SpamAssassin settings tweaked pretty well. Unfortunately, there is some spam that seems to have malformed or incomplete MIME boundaries and these messages don’t seem to be getting passed off from Amavisd to SpamAssassin. As such, they seem to […]
Backblaze Backup
March 13, 2009 – 6:35 pm
I have an invite or two to distribute for the Backblaze online backup service for OS X. Price is $5 a month per machine for unlimited data. Attached disks are recognized, but not yet network attached storage. My opinion is once they allow for NAS backup it’ll be great.

Nationalized Healthcare and the Free Market
March 5, 2009 – 2:33 pm
Nationalized/Universal healthcare will happen. Obama ran on it and he intends to deliver. What’s more, I can see a manner in which the country will flock to it under the current free market insurance system.
First, the federal government will expand Medicaid to cover the unemployed and uninsured. Second, the Congress will pass some law that […]
