Before:

Kevin was born on the mossy hills of Scotland and lived for a while in West Lothian before the mores of pre-Thatcher and REALLY pre-Oasis Great Britain sent his family across the ocean to North America. They moved here and there and Kevin did the same when he was old enough. Now he lives in London with his family and a Dog.

Kevin Wardrop is an amateur writer, amateur photographer and professional pain in the ass. He has worked in the PC support business for most of his adult life and has been accustomed to simply answering technical questions as a matter of fiat, it was his career choice after all. Now he herds cats and puppies for a living as well as babysitting the web enterprises at the heart of western industry.

On Vox: Sell-Off at my Cube

Today in the cube farm it was like the sale bell finally rang.

I sold Unicron, the Huge Spider-man, two transformers and the giant invisible woman.

I expect to sell the WildCATs figures and the Final Fantasy figures by friday.  Now to get rid of the Marvel Legends figures.

Uninspired

Ever since I stopped work on my last two short stories, I’ve been just sort of drained.

I can make creative leaps from here to there in other places, but I just can’t seem to make new processes come together for written goals.  It’s very frustrating!

Oh well, something new in the offing, I can feel it in my bones.

Setting up SMS SMTP 5.X and a Mail Server on CentOS 5

I apologize the the lack of detail in the post, I created it to prompt myself along when I performed installs at future dates, but never got around to filling it out.

  1. Perform a custom server only install of CentOS
  2. Do not install Mysql, dovecot or any other mail related software
  3. Install Sendmail via yum.
  4. Install Legacy software development, install Legacy software support. Install the basic development tools
  5. Once the install is complete; update and reboot
  6. Configure the users that SMS SMTP wants (create the users manually establishing their group memberships ahead of time)
  7. Install SMS SMTP using the smssmtp install binary and NOT “installer”
  8. Perform a typical install
  9. Reboot
  10. license and configure SMS SMTP to deliver local mail to 127.0.0.1 port 25
  11. Download and compile sendmail, install using Build install, this will overwrite the sendmail “fake” that SMSSMTP put into place.
  12. Modify the sendmail configuration to accept mail for your domain
  13. use chkconfig to configure sendmail to start at level 3
  14. reboot
  15. install dovecot, allow it to install mysql
  16. reboot
  17. You may have to configure dovecot to use Maildir correctly
  18. Done.

Change the Channel

Who’s the most annoying person on TV?

It’s a toss-up between Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace.

They really have no place on CNN, and should move to Fox.
I had Two guys sign up for Vox just to comment on this, in reverse order “John Hampton”

ALL of you DUMMIES have GOT to get remote controls for your TVs so if someone as smart as Glenn Beck comes on and makes you think, you can go back to your vegetative, “let someone else handle the world’s problems” state of mind!! Smoke a little more weed. All you have to do is CHANGE the CHANNEL! No viewers? ratings go down! You following, or need I repeat …Ratings go down? Advertisers begin looking elsewhere to promote their product. Capische? Advertisers go down? BECK goes away…(way)…(way)…(ay)..(ay).. a…

and “Rick”

Just out of curiousity, why do they “really have no place on CNN”?


You guys are both, INCREDIBLE ASSHOLES!!! Yay!

You can pick up your prize over at the VA.  Have a good one, and thanks for making a big deal out of an offhand comment.  I’m glad you joined vox just to comment on my one sentence condemnation of the pointless and inflammatory Beck and Grace.

Maybe Vox will make some money off of you both, granted I imagine you are both some kind of sock puppets.  So, good on ya, either way.

Oh, I should also point out that I am incorrect, they have no point on “Headline News”; which should stick to it’s “news every 60 minutes” format and just dump the “Shows” altogether.  I like the snippets format they use in the morning and lets me get the minimal dose of national and international news that I like before I see the ‘net.

Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace are “personalities” who belong on a personality-driven news channel.  “HEADLINE NEWS” used to be a news driven channel, now it is personality driven, in the evening.

I only know those two by name because I can’t avoid their non-stop commercials.
