It’s nice to have google eat the spam instead of me.
Before the move I switched the MX to use hosted google mail – I saw an immediate drop in spam handled by spamassassin.
The flip side is that my hosted google mail shows about 2000 spam being caught for my emails every day.
Finally I got to re-rack and power up the servers after the move (that’s another post!)
Obviously being offline for a few weeks meant that there were updates to be applied.
One nice update that was available is the new version of WPG2 – the integration of WordPress and Gallery 2. The project is here http://www.wpg2.org/
WPG2 was updated to version 3.0.6 – which integrates with the new security model (password hashing) of WordPress 2.5. The update has been a few months in the works – kudos to ozgreg and the rest of the hackers on getting this out of the door.
I did the double upgrade to WordPress 2.5.1 and WPG2 3.0.6 – and so far everything is looking great on the main family blog site.
I’ll let this sit for a few days – and then update the other sites.
At last – back online. Posts from the technology side of the move coming soon.
One thing that was new to me was the number of ‘internal’ promo videos made by each Microsoft BU. There seems to be a real drive to fill headcount by recruiting and poaching enocuraging people to move across.
During my New Employee Orientation (NEO) this was one of the better videos – for Entertainment and Devices (E&D). It’s pretty good; made better by the use of a cover of Girl from Mars by Ash. (Takes me back to the early 90s!)
Not long now…
Beta 1 installed on my non-work laptop now.
