When this post goes live I will have had OpenID running on my blog for 24 hours.
My first attempt to do so was not successful. The theme I use does not support the option of displaying that the website URL is checked for OpenID (a feature of the WordPress OpenID Plugin [1]. Someone who’s […]
A Linux Users Group like most volunteer organisations will often have a small portion of the membership making most of the contributions. I believe that every LUG has many people who would like to contribute but don’t know how, here are some suggestions for what you can do.
Firstly offer talks. Many people seem to […]
In my previous post about DKIM [1] I forgot to mention one critical item, how to get Postfix to actually talk to the DKIM milter. This wasn’t a bad thing because it turned out that I hadn’t got it right.
I had configured the DKIM milter on the same line as the milters for ClamAV […]
My Play Machine [1] was offline for most of the past 48 hours (it’s up again now). I have upgraded the hardware for the Dom0 used to run it so that it now has the ability to run more DomU’s. I can now run at least 5 DomUs while previously I could only run 3. […]
I have just installed Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM) [1] on my mail server. In summary the purpose is to allow public-key signing of all mail that goes out from your domain so that the recipient can verify it’s authenticity (and optionally reject forgeries). It also means that you can verify inbound mail. A weakness […]
I was watching So You Think You Can Dance [1] and thinking about the benefits that it provides to the dancing industry. The increase in public appreciation for the sport will increase the amount of money that is available to professionals, and getting more people interested in dancing as a profession will increase the level […]
The most commonly installed software for aggregating RSS feeds seems to be Planet and Venus (two forks of the same code base). The operation is that a cron job runs the Python program which syndicates a list of RSS feeds and generates a static web page. Of course the problems start if you have many […]
In a comment on my Not All Opinions Are Equal [1] post AlphaG said “Anonymous comments = free software, no intrinsic value as you got it for nothing”.
After considering the matter I came to the conclusion that almost all software has no intrinsic value (unless you count not being sued for copyright infringement as […]
Amaya writes about the fact that the political process in many countries is extremely flawed and is failing their citizens [1] (although she doesn’t actually express it in that way). She asks how a revolution can be done right.
If we look at the historical record, after the French Revolution came the Reign of Terror […]
I am often asked for advice about purchasing TVs and consumer electronics. Not that I am any great expert in those areas, but my general experience in specifying and purchasing electronics goods in related to my computer work does translate to other areas (and I know where to find advice on the net).
As part […]
