A brief update from GeekLand\u00e2\u201e\u00a2<\/p>\n
1) Today my cable modem decided it was lonely and needed some lovin’. So it booted me off the internet for half a day until I called and had it reset. That explains my sites being down. After I got it back up, my IP had changed, so I had to modify the name servers to reflect this change.<\/p>\n
2) Postfix\/Sendmail is still not working on my server iMac, I used Fink and installed the latest version, but I had some trouble setting it up so that the system would use it – any geeks know how to change the default go-to place for binaries? I already changed the $PATH variable, but that doesn’t seem to help. Maybe I have to change this for root or www users?<\/p>\n
3) My effects processor was put on hold… apparently someone had put some money down awhile ago on the unit I bid on, and it wasn’t supposed to have been sold on ebay. I’m hoping it gets sorted out and my early Christmas present sent!<\/p>\n
4) In IE (mac version), my blog page looks really cruddy due to a CSS issue (“float: left” and margins, I think) with the sidebar. I’m wondering if anyone else using IE sees a blog page not like the other pages? It bugs me to fix something like that, since I hate IE, but I guess lotsa people use it.<\/p>\n
5) If you leave comments, you’ll notice an additional field to help keep spam in check. Until today, I was getting ~80 comments per day that I had to sift through, and almost all of them were spam. Hopefully this simple step will save me a lot of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
