Looks like work is sending me to the UK again to clear up some issues on the project we are working on and also to support in a technical review of the software we are working on.

I will be leaving this Friday and returning on the following Saturday for a total of 8 days. I don’t know how much sight seeing I will be doing, I may instead just relax and try to enjoy being in the UK.

With the release of Spamassassin version 3 I upgraded os.com’s mail server to courier, with postfix, with procmail and spamassassin 3. I think the setup should be fast and effective at filtering out spam. The configuratino has SpamAssassin integrated into postfix so that all incoming mail runs through the spamd, then it is to the user in their .procmailrc if they want to filter the spam to a spam folder. This is the way that Dalalumni.ca should be setup, but isn’t. Anyone want an account?

I have been using Gmail for filtering and an e-mail archive for non personal e-mail (I don’t really have that much personal e-mail really). I am hoping that there will ne a next generation of webmail that will allow for faster searching and better UI etc. to replace Squrrelmail as it seems a bit dated now and they don’t offer much in customization. A new kid on the block (google) tends to kick people in the ass.

I also did a WordPress install last night at http://v4.jadz.com/. The upgrade went smoothly after I figured a few things out. The only thing that dissapoints me is I was so impressed with Sperry’s webpage until I did an install and saw that it was pretty much the default install .

Sometimes I can get so sentimental.

Did I forget any?

Just a general update. For those of you who don’t know I have moved in with my girlfriend, Ms. Brittany T. Scelo, we are living on Lucknow by Ingles. I think its been a really good learning experience, and everything is going great.

I also have been trying to sneak in as many modifications to my car as possible, though I don’t seem to have the time to take any pictures of what I’m doing. I got a set of rims and a spoiler that both seem to suit the car. Both were shipped from California and both were a real steal.

The carputer project is ongoing, with winter fast approaching I am setting up a removable USB hard drive that the carputer will boot off of. This will let me take the entire HD inside at night, upload new MP3’s and videos, and then bring it to the car when I go for a drive. This is a preemptive strike against the cold of winter making a standard hard drives bearings too hard to spin.

The other project that I’ve been working on as of late is Media Portal. This is a media center / PVR of which there are tons out there, but this one is open source which allows me to download the source code and learn a bit of C# while I’m at it.

That?s about it for now…. EXCEPT for WTF is up with all the fuckers at Aliant buying BMWs? Pisses me off.
