More specifically the anti-spam and anti-virus gateway.
13,000 spam mails between 6am this morning and lunch time. Ouch.
There were some 46,000 mails in the queue for the bayesian filter.
I had to manually go and delete the ‘marked as spam’ queue to clear out the congestion. Things seem back to normal – I don’t know what caused the huge surge in spam overnight.
I decided to move my Corporate Blogs from Novell Cool Blogs to Novell Cool Solutions.
I announced this in October; this month I started the move.
Why move?
Mainly the volume of postings and the amount of traffic at Cool Blogs compared with Cool Solutions.
Cool Blogs started as the first open, unfiltered blog from Novell almost two years ago. Since then I’ve made over 25% of the posts to the blog. That’s too much. I’ve slowed my blogging on Cool Blogs and moved a lot to this site; but still the proportion of posts that are my ZENworks posts is too high.
By posting on Cool Solutions I hope that my posts get a wider readership and I don’t take a too large proportion of the postings.
I purchased PingPlotter over four years ago – and I’ve always liked the product features and support.
I lost my license key and emailed the author – Pete Ness – for a replacement.
Great service – response and license back within five minutes.
Support small software writers – go buy a copy of PingPlotter.
I’ve been playing around with switching from Apache to lighttpd (lighty) for a while now; one of my dev boxes runs lighty reasonably well.
Couple of things:
– the openSUSE build system has pre-built RPMs for SLES
– PHP support is via FastCGI; it’s not exactly intuitive on SLES – but the correct php5 binary is actually placed into /srv/www/cgi-bin. I moved mine to /usr/bin and renamed it to php5-fastcgi
Some time in the next few days I’ll finally move the production environment live – but right now it’s looking faster and less memory intensive than Apache.
Good news; the EXIN envelope arrived tonight – and I passed the ITIL v3 Foundation.
Now I’m looking for the ‘exact word’ on what’s needed for the v3 Diploma; it looks like I need to take the "ITIL Managers v2 to Managers v3 Bridging course" which is pushed to 2008.
Nice beta from Microsoft. This lets you move settings and applications from XP to Vista.
