I wrote over 18 months ago about LinkedIn; and some trends I saw of people just linking with unknown contacts.
That’s still rife; I see colleagues who are linked to people and I know they have no idea who they are.
Guy Kawasaki wrote an interesting article about using LinkedIn – certainly good basic information; especially for those looking to hire or be hired. I especially like the comment about tracking down your potential manager.
Hot on the heels of WordPress 2.0.6 release candidate – is WordPress 2.1 beta 1.
I tried the alpha from subversion on this blog a while ago; it looked promising. Now we are at beta 1.
You can get the beta from here; knowing the test and release team – it will be live in weeks.
It was the Christmas of 1981 that I received my first computer; a Sinclair ZX81.
It’s been over 25 years since I started using Wordstar and dBase on CP/M running on TeleVideo TS802 and later TS803 machines.
Since then it’s been a downward spiral; through multiple BBC/Acorn machines; then 8086, 80286, 80386sx, 486, Pentium and beyond PCs.
I’ve been working with the next version of ZENworks all week; and for several reasons I needed to clear up my MSI database on several Windows machines.
Here’s a cool tool from Microsoft that makes it easy. The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
Update time again – this time for another security issue.
Here’s the mail from wp-testers:
http://wordpress.org/beta/wordpress-2.0.6-RC2.zip
http://wordpress.org/beta/wordpress-2.0.6-RC2.tar.gzRC2 addresses the following vulnerability.
http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2006/Dec/0463.htmlWe also changed how we escape HTML attributes. Escaping is done with a new
attribute_escape() function.http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4656
This touched a lot of files so we need to do some broad testing to make sure we didn’t fat finger anything.
Should be GA soon; advisable to upgrade.
I wrote about moving my primary mail server to SLES 10 and Netmail 3.5.2 a month ago.
Everything has been working really well – great uptime, better performance, another box moved to SLES 10..
Except for one little thing. Grania has been commenting that some of her email is missing.
Well – it’s not been in the inbound SpamAssassin kill files; it’s not stuck on the mail server; there are no errors with connectivity; no problems with DNS or MX records. The mail has been from all over – so it’s not someone like Yahoo being picky. Also normal mail has been coming in fine – so we’ve not been blackholed.
Tonight I decided to hunt down the problem.
It was me. I missed one step for the migration of mail; to use Netmail rules and forwarding the AutoReply agent needs creating and configuring.
The AutoReply Agent also enables users to forward their messages to another e-mail address. Users can specify if they want to retain a copy of the message in their NetMail mailbox or forward the message to the designated address.
Ooops. I missed that one. Three mouse clicks later and everything is back to normal.
I just trawled the aliases and there were over 400 mails to forward to the real mailboxes.
