Over at downloadsquad.com they talked about the HydraBrowser and how it may go too far with features. It looks like Internet Explorer with enough add ons to make it “special”.

Internet! You kids get off the lawn!

All is good with WordPress 2.5
So far so good. Once I stopped using version 2.3.3 and switched to 2.5 I got the hang of the new admin interface.

Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007

Bad mail queuing in Postfix
Yesterday around 12:36 AM my main server mowgli went into a temporay coma (a disk volume fell down and did not get back up) and was not receiving mail. No problem, thanks to the magic of DNS MX records, mail goes to my backup server dixie. Good thing I was clever and had dixie forward [...]
