note to self:
When upgrading Postfix, thou shalt always read the README. (I was going between 1.1 and 2.0). Think I only bounced one mail, and that was from bugtraq ;/

daniels: just fixed the problem, uploading in an hour or so. Happy? ;-)

Uh, advogato's recent log is hardly the ideal location for submitting bug reports to apache. If you write this up into an email, or seperate these into bug reports here, then we can deal with them. If you have already done so, great!

G4's hard drive decided to die (person I bought it from had changed it to a new one, and it seemed ropey); so I have a 120Gb disk just sitting around waiting for me to have some time.
I've now taken over control of Debian's Apache packages in collaboration with two other people and we've been wading our way through the bugs, and also planning some interesting new steps that should help ease of maintainership.
I've also been cleaning up and commiting any lingering patches that we feel should be submitted back upstream.
In other news, did some evil hacks on Mailman to get the listinfo page templateable, but I'm not convinced there's a clean way of doing this the "right" way in Mailman2.1; so I haven't yet submitted the changes upstream. Looks like I'm going to be adding MySQL support to Mailman for a different customer, which could be an entertaining hack.
Built my first FreeBSD server to use Vinum the other evening, following the Bootstrapping Vimum guide. The whole process was fairly smooth, bar a few out of date bits, one of which led to us having to resort to ed(1) to fix up a config file.
Out of a sheer need to vent some of the frustration I'm feeling currently, I just wrote Whither Management? - I was originally going to write it as an article here but it turned too ranty...

So, after finding myself a cute little cube on ebay, I now have my first Debian PPC machine. Install worked beautifully!
Also, have now booked accomodation for Gu4dec, and am just in negotiation with my boss about Deb{Camp,Conf}

I think Ben Hammersley said it best

mglazer: like it is? In an incredibly minority viewpoint, sure. Considering that the majority of the population is anti-war, Tony Blair suffered the biggest parliamentary revolt in history at the last commons vote on whether the Gulf War mk2 should go ahead, and 1million+ people turned out for the antiwar demonstration last month, I don't think you can claim any populist support from here.
Also, please can you explain what you plan to do with Israel, since they are also in violation of a UN resolution and have been for the last 50 years?

Robin Cook made an excellent speech in the House of Commons last night to announce his resignation from Tony Blair's cabinet. This has sparked a wave of similar resignations, but from no other big names. Clare Short has decided to keep her hypocritical power-grubbing mitts in power.

anholt: You see, those are facts. These are things that aren't interesting to people only wishing to make a biased and indefensible statement ;-)

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
