SPF changes SMTP, news at 11 |

According to this page, SPF is the 8th deadly sin. I think its failings have really been blown out of proportion and I'm here to address them.
Please feel free to send me feedback: tensai at zmonkey dot org. As always, I reserve the right to be wrong. Oooh, but if I'm correct I reserve the right to rub it in your face. |

NVIDIA 6106 drivers |
|
Submitted by tensai on Thursday, July 1, 2004 - 20:47 |

I saw that NVIDIA released new Linux drivers so I decided to install them. Worked great with just one catch. OpenGL stopped working. :( Never fear! I got it working again.

Courier: "chdir: No such file or directory" |

We use Courier for our POP3 and IMAP server. It's great and works wonderfully with our OpenLDAP directory server. Today we had a problem pop up with a user who couldn't log in and get his mail. It took me the better part of the day to figure it out.

PHP Gallery |
|
Submitted by tensai on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 11:24 |
|
With the DSL back up and finally working, I set about reconfigured PHP Gallery. It's gone pretty well. All of the default themes are no good. Maybe it's their attempt to make everybody customize the theme to their site. I don't know but that was one of the first things I did.

Actiontec DSL Router |
|
Submitted by tensai on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 12:58 |
|
I finally got DSL at home last week. It's great. I've got a wonderful ISP (not MSN!) so things are working out well. It was a little tough to configure since we had to do wireless between the modem and the computer, but that's another article. :)
Today I'm here to rant about the Actiontec router they sent me. It's got 802.11g wireless which is cool, and it's an embedded Linux device which definitely gets them some cool points. They even have the code available from their website like their supposed to. Cool beans. But it's not without issues. |

Jabber JUD searching |
|
Submitted by tensai on Tuesday, May 18, 2004 - 18:35 |
|
I'm working on a new Jabber server, and things are going great. In fact, everything is working more or less like I want it to. I've only had to make source changes to one thing, the JUD. The one I'm using is this one. It uses a simple XML file for all its data storage. Not the most suitable program for large setups, but hey that's what it says on the site.
The program works fine as-is, but doesn't do any wildcard searching. I found a patch to the original JUD to add a list-the-whole-contents-of-the-directory feature here. That's quite useful for my needs, so I tried to apply it. The patch was against 0.4 and the JUD is up to 0.5. Here's my updated patch for 0.5. |

JBoss and Windows 2000 |
|
Submitted by tensai on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 21:40 |
|
I'm the administrator of a Windows 2000 Small Business Server which my company uses for way too many things. It has our email server, dns server, file server, and so on. And when we deployed a J2EE app running JBoss, it got nomitated for the task. Just the other day when I was working with our app, it quit responding. It took me a number of hours to figure out what the problem was, so I figured I'd archive the solution here.

Granola |
|
Submitted by tensai on Sunday, February 8, 2004 - 22:21 |

I'm a big fan of Good Eats with Alton Brown. The food is always simple (no maitake mushrooms in every recipe), his approach is a little off the wall, and he shares great bits of useless information here and there. Wonderful show.
In his show about oatmeal there's a great recipe for granola. It's simple, cheap, and tastes wonderful. I've started making it 2 or 3 times a week. I eat it for breakfast and as snacks throughout the day. One of my friends recommended I start a business selling the stuff. It is that good, but I don't think I'm up for a granola business. |

perl iptables firewall |
|
Submitted by tensai on Friday, December 12, 2003 - 22:24 |

Intro
In the beginning was ipfwadm and it was good. And ipfwadm begat ipchains and ipchains begat iptables. And Rusty looked upon iptables and behold, it was better.
One day I realized I needed to put together a better firewall configuration than the shell script I had cobbled together. At the time I didn't think to investage existing firewall tools. I've since looked at a few and they have their niceties, but I like the simple approach that my tool takes.

How to make a Christmas card |
|
Submitted by tensai on Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 10:00 |
|
Every year my wife and I struggle through making Christmas cards. Last year we spent hours and hours on a great letter, and then never sent it out. So this year I figured if we're gonna forget to send out letters, we should at least send out a card. Plus it would be fun and exciting to make my own. This is my tale.
I started off with a nice picture of the family. We went down by the river and found a spot with some pretty yellow and red leaves in the background. A tripod and auto timer completed the package. The hardest part was getting my son to sit still and smile.
