Google Apps - the new Linux Mail Server
October 25, 2007 – 12:25 pm
Or how I learned to give up a bit of control, and let Google take over my mail and mailing lists.
For the last 10+ years I have run my own mail server, I’ve used a variety of platforms and servers including Win NT4, Win 2k, Debian and Gentoo using Mailtraq on Windows and Postfix/Qmail/Exim/Courier/Squirrelmail on [...]
Facebook - why would you trust it?
July 31, 2007 – 1:05 pm
I don’t subscribe to MySpace, Facebook, Friends Reunited or most other similar sites. Why? Because you are putting a huge amount of information about yourself in someone else’s hands. That someone else may not just be your friends, it could be the site administrators or possibly even complete strangers.
Just today at work, hundreds of Facebook [...]
The Interviewee Dummy Bit
July 3, 2007 – 8:42 am
Before applying for a job, take a moment to read through your CV. Have you listed skills or experience with technologies that you’ve only had the briefest exposure to?

A friend and I went along to the Monthly Reading Japanese car meet yesterday for the first time. I had never seen so many Imprezas, Supras, Skylines and Integras in the same place (not to mention all the other cars).
This car made me laugh - [...]
All OK Now
December 19, 2005 – 1:02 pm
This site, pnotepad.org and friends all appear to have been down for the last day or two, the Linux VM they run on seemed to be completely toasted. Hopefully everything is now back to normal and I won’t have lost too much mail. This reminds me that I really need to set up an automated [...]
Server Downtime
May 8, 2005 – 6:36 pm
Phew, my assorted web sites (untidy.net, pnotepad.org and a few misc others) are finally back online after a hairy gentoo rebuild/upgrade.
Note to self: Don’t expect that a kernel/glibc/gcc/apache/php/mysql update is going to go easily - you should know better, especially when gentoo compiles everything from source. A couple of cautionary tales to come…
