Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web.
Hmm, I think I will have to check this out…
This is so cool. The second video is really neat.
Free X server for windows that can use PuTTy for X forwarding. Sweet.
Now if I could just get rid of the locale errors…
F#.
Hmm, neat. I like functional programming. I used ML in a class at Clemson, and LISP in a class at UNLV. They were both a lot of fun, and had some really interesting ways of approaching problems.
I think I am going to have to try this out soon.
Chapter 9 - Network Time Protocol

But then I see stuff like Geometry Algorithms.
Kinda neat, but I think I will need to look at the code more to decide on the quality of it…
Ubuntu: How to setup an nfs server
Pretty much as described, with the following additions:
- hosts.allow:
# /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system.
# See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5)
# and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz
#
# Example: ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
# ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu
#
# If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the
# daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP
# addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper, as well as for
# rpc.mountd (the NFS mount daemon). See portmap(8), rpc.mountd(8) and
# /usr/share/doc/portmap/portmapper.txt.gz for further information.
#
portmap: 192.168.1. , 127.0.
lockd: 192.168.1. , 127.0.
rquotad: 192.168.1. , 127.0.
mountd: 192.168.1. , 127.0.
statd: 192.168.1. , 127.0.
- hosts.deny
# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the system.
# See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5)
# and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz
#
# Example: ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain
# ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain
#
# If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the
# daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP
# addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper. See portmap(8)
# and /usr/doc/portmap/portmapper.txt.gz for further information.
#
# The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its
# address.# You may wish to enable this to ensure any programs that don't
# validate looked up hostnames still leave understandable logs. In past
# versions of Debian this has been the default.
# ALL: PARANOID
portmap:ALL
lockd:ALL
mountd:ALL
rquotad:ALL
statd:ALL
Now I have all my machines mounting the same home dir. And created a ‘windows’ in my home, and use that dir as my H:\ via the SAMBA PDC.
Outlook 2000 SpamAssassin Configuration
I am guessing this should work with Outlook XP/2003/2007.
Howto: Use tar command through network over ssh session
Until I get Amanda working, I need to do a few backups manually. This seems like the easiest.
And this HOWTO is nicely written.

I found this when I was lookign up some info on locking wrt a project at work. The work project used very pessimistic locking, and I thnk locked too mcuh, leading to major performance problems. I don’t think this article helped, per se, but it does have some nice info.
Well, Debian anyway.
This was a really nice article. It let me get WebDAV up and running so I can use WebDAV to update my apache web server.
Minor Problems:
- Mounting Subddirs of shares: can smbmount access paths in shares?
Major problems:
- WHS saves everything as root / Administrator. I.e., the user / group is always Adminsitrator / Administrator that is mapped to root / root, and uses ACL to allow access to the files. Why this bad? Because Amanda always uses a umask=600 for files, so that it is, read / write for Administrator / root user and blocked for everyone else. But Amanda will not run as root, so it cannot read / modify the files it creates. Bah.
Not available yet. Bummer.
I am really looking forward to it. I have done a couple full system restores, and restored individual files archived on different days. It really eases my mind that it is so easy. The one concern I have is backing up the WHS…all those shared pictures, videos and such are pretty important. ATM, I keep them on my desktop…
Oddly, for a long time I didn’t realize how broken it was. I thought it was doing Spamassassin (Anti-Spam) and ClamAV (Anti-virus) . I was wrong. It was doing neither. After a mutli-hour fight, I think it works. And for a side benefit, the aliasing seems to work now. Weird.
Here are the useful links, mostly in order of how much I used it:
- How to set up a mail server on a GNU / Linux system
- Integrating amavisd-new in Postfix
- Tips and FAQ — spam scanners (Mail::SpamAssassin)
- PostfixAmavisNew
- TestingInstallation (Spamassassin)
- Configuration file for amavisd-new
I should have better e-mail from now on. Wheee. It only took me 8 hours to figure out.
Bah.
