In ancient days when westerners visited the southern Pacific islands of Polynesia they stumbled on cultures whose emblems of wisdom and knowledge were called Tikis. These icons of knowledge, rendered in wood, were often taken home by these travellers where they are still seen as emblems of truth. Yeah right...what hooey! Anyway, hang around a while and leave your own tikis! Got your geek on?

Back in Business and Some Random Ramblings

Fri, 2008-12-05 02:07 — webmaster

After a short downtime, this site is back up on a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. I've rebuilt my mail server and am now using Postfix for my MTA since I ran into some curious issues with Courier 0.60.

Mail Server
It was fun rebuilding the server in any case since I learned how to integrate Postfix with SpamAssassin and even retained Courier's excellent maildrop application for this reason. I'm still using Courier for IMAP/S as well as SquirrelMail for my webmail solution.

Web Server

NetTiki! Site Moved to new VMware Platform

Wed, 2008-09-24 17:09 — webmaster

I've just moved NetTiki! site from a physical PC (PIII 1GHz w/ 512 MB RAM) to a new VMware appliance hosted on VMware Server version 2.0

I copied all my MySQL database files and website directories to the new device and, other than a sidebar where I had to install MySQL support for PHP, it worked! I'm surprised and not a little grateful.

Now I have properly split my mail server and web server onto different devices...being a big believer in separation of services.

Please, please, please: If you see any weird idiosynchrocies contact me!
