    News: Our Summer Break

    As I have previously noted; summer is upon us, and I plan to take full advantage of it. For next two weeks the site will not be updated as I head of to party my ass off in Ibiza. I have disabled most member features because I can not review any applications for either e-mail, subdomain, e.t.c. The server will not be idle, though. My host has taken responsibility for keeping the colocation server secure the next two weeks, so no need to continue your attempts. Enjoy your summer, LL will be back June 15 2004.

    Linux: Getting Comcast Email

    Passing Outbound Mail, plus Masquerading User and Hostname:
    The following instructions explain how to send and receive Comcast email from a home Linux box, which is connected to the Internet via Comcast cable model. To make things interesting, assume the Comcast email is different from the account on the Linux computer. Yet, through "mutt", "elm" or whatever, make it possible to send email to other comcast users, or anyone else on the Internet. When receiving email, have it forwarded to the local Linux account.

    BSD: What To Do When Things Go Wrong

    ny trained monkey can administer a system that is working correctly. Such systems rarely, if ever, need external human, or simian, guidance. The system gets some sort of stimulus or input, makes decisions, takes actions, and most likely emits some sort of product or information. Easy enough. Watch the big wheels go round. Good system and network administrators earn their salaries when systems are not working correctly.Read more...

    Code: Write Unmaintainable Code

    In the interests of creating employment opportunities in the Java programming field, I am passing on these tips from the masters on how to write code that is so difficult to maintain, that the people who come after you will take years to make even the simplest changes. Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed all these rules religiously, even you wouldn't be able to maintain the code! Read more...

It's definitely improved in both looks (slightly) and functionality (IMO greatly since the 3.2 release). Read more...

    Linux: Global File System

    Red Hat has announced the released of the GFS under the GPL, open-sourcing the cluster file system. They're now targetting towards getting GFS included in the mainstream kernel.
    "Red Hat GFS allows Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers to simultaneously read and write to a single shared file system on the SAN, achieving high performance and reducing the complexity and overhead of managing redundant data copies. Red Hat GFS has no single point of failure, is incrementally scalable from one to hundreds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers, and works with all standard Linux applications." Read more...
