What Combat Weaponry Are You?

L-96 Sniper Rifle

Preventing a situation from escalating is in your favor as an up-close fight would result in almost certain defeat, however if you know its going to happen you’ll hit first and with little warning. You like a fight on your terms and will generally wait patiently for the right moment for an unsuspected strike.

ds moved (again)

Monday, July 14th, 2008

ds moved again… I’m back online now.  After a weekend of moving (no small thanks to Matt, Todd, and Pat who did quite a bit of it) I’m damn near totally back online.  I hope Shannon likes all the improvements we’ve done around the house… I know I do ;)  She’ll be back on Thursday.. damn I miss her.

One more outlet to do and then I’ll be totally done.. woot!

no more forwarding

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

I have quite a few email addresses at different hosts.. I’m a firm believer in all my email in one place.  So, of course, I’ve been forwarding email.  I’ve stopped that now after reading this article.

All my mail is filtered in to a google for domains (initiated.com) account.  Then I pull that mail down to my local server.  If my local server goes down, then I still have google, which doesn’t go down.. ever.

And actually I’m thinking about not archiving my stuff locally.. but I think I’d still want room to play again at some point.. even though I’m in “solid solution” mode now.

Anyway.. now.. instead of forwarding.. I take advantage of google’s ability to grab your email from other places via their pop3 service.  All 3 of my other addresses have pop3 ability (mostly because I’m in charge of that :)) and then I resuck that email (via pop3s) from google to me.  So I “fetchmail” via google and then actually really fetchmail… I could skip the middle man and fetchmail directly, but google’s spam filter is totally awesome… and I haven’t taken it head to head with spamassassin yet.. only using it sentimentally.. so.. yar.. that’s what I got yo.

I’ve also implemented SPF for work(s)… I gotta see how I can do that for home too… maybe… if I care after today :)
