I meant to post about this over the weekend, but… well, I forgot. I didn’t see much chatter about this over the leap day, but here it is.
On a system that uses Postfix 2.2.9 on SLES 10, Postfix started acting quite wonky on February 29th, 2008. In a standard Postfix+Amavis+ClamAv setup, you actually have two Postfix daemons – one listening on port 25 (duh), the other listening on port 10025 waiting to get mail handed off from amavis+clamav.
It’s pretty amazing how far behind I’ve gotten in web creation technology. I’ve been spending some time with Adobe CS3 and I’m finding out just how much of this thing has passed me by. I’d say… quite a bit has passed me by. I guess I’ve had my head down working on server stuff for so long now that I’ve not had a chance to really step back and work on web pages like I used to.
iTWire – From Windows to Linux – and back again
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… the battle for the corporate desktop is fought at home. Microsoft has known this for a long time – Apple knows it too. That’s why Apple is sneaking up on Microsoft and they’re just not paying attention. They’re too busy mucking around in other businesses that they don’t belong in instead of focusing on the real business (operating systems, servers and Office).
A pretty important Entourage 2004 fix was RTW’d last night.

Look in there and you’ll see:
_Stability is improved for users of Exchange Server accounts.
This update fixes an issue that could cause loss of e-mail messages, calendar events, or contacts, for users of accounts on a server that is running Exchange Server._
You will want to download this pretty quick and get it into your QA process. It’s version 11.4.0. This will fix a data loss issue when using Entourage 2004 against an Exchange server.
Why Linux will not displace Windows | TalkBack on ZDNet
Absolutely hysterical, misinformed opinion about Windows and Linux. Must read, especially you #morphixers.
I wanted to say a few words about Office:Mac 2008, as it was released this week at Macworld and is available for order from the Apple website. Supply is already in the channel too, as there are boxes for sale in the SFO Apple Store.
I have several things to say about this suite and I’m afraid that most of them will come off as negatives.
Let’s get a few things out of the way. I’ll just put it straight as I’ve seen/spoken it over the past year. Now that the product is out, I feel like I can speak somewhat about it.
I’ve had to update Windows Genuine “Advantage” on two different Windows machines three times over the past several days. What gives?
What an ADVANTAGE.
Why Microsoft must abandon Vista to save itself | Tech news blog – CNET News.com
Good article. Go read. Now.
…found via Slashdot. I’m not so sure how I feel about this. It’s a ballsy opinion, but usually consumers purchase computers with the expectation of having an operating system on it that is tied to the hardware. Microsoft loves it when the consumer goes to buy a brand new system with the newest operating system (so does Apple, let’s be fair). Without reading the full PDF because it’s 12:12am, I’m hoping that this think tank is only recommending the operating system becoming disengaged from the computer at the business/enterprise level. I don’t see this being a positive recommendation for consumers.
Microsoft Watch – Corporate – What Microsoft’s EU Ruling Means to You
Good work, Europeans. You’ve finally delivered what was needed. Too bad the U.S. government was too much of a wuss.
Folks in the cell phone and computer businesses need to wake up to what is going on outside of our country. Perhaps this is the first step toward that end. I congratulate the EU.
