Yeah, I’m watching the Star Wars marathon on Cinemax HD

November 11, 2006

I’m totally lame. Literally. I torqued my ankle a few days ago so I’m now couch-bound and glued to Cinemax HD watching the Star Wars marathon since they’re playing all six episodes back to back. I had grand plans to start installing the composite floor in the loft above the Trunkmonkey Racing garage but it […]

Round 7: Spammer vs. Barracuda…FIGHT!

October 31, 2006

Just in case you’ve been keeping track, this is the seventh time a Spammer has forged one of the domains under my control as the return address of their Spam run. The first time it happened I felt shocked, angered, and betrayed. After I lost count of the incidents on my left hand and had […]

The Litterbox has been re-launched

October 3, 2006

The Litterbox, one of my first domains, used to be a Web site dedicated to domestic pet rescue and care. After a few years of operation quite a few other sites like Petfinder.com popped up that did a much better job of what my wife Kelly and I were trying to accomplish as a hobby […]

The premise is that search engines may still be linking to incorrect, outdated, or embarrassing data. naymz allows you to create a profile that is “guaranteed” to be at the top of search engine results to help prospective employers and […]

Add more Courier-IMAP connections under Plesk

September 22, 2006

By default, UNIX-based servers running Plesk and the Courier-IMAP e-mail server drastically limit the number of inbound connections to prevent users from opening up too many concurrent sessions. Unfortunately, this artificially-low restriction can impact legitimate users who have multiple computers connecting to the Courier-IMAP server from behind a firewall or a single computer that runs […]

Careful with that FedEx account number

September 21, 2006

Taken from RISKS Digest 24.43: Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 10:45:49 -0700 From: Matt Wilbur <[email protected]> Subject: Careful with that Fedex account number Sending packages with Fedex is now easier than ever, thanks to the fedex.com website. Unfortunately, it’s too easy. In most cases, if you know a company’s account number, you can send whatever […]

August RedHat Enterprise fixes break Plesk DNS

August 18, 2006

The most recent batch of RedHat Enterprise (RHEL) fixes rolled out this past week break DNS (bind) on servers running Plesk. My Plesk 7.5.4 installation was effected as well as many other Plesk 7.x and 8.x users. The problem appears to be with a conflict between RedHat’s bind-chroot RPM and Plesk’s chroot system. When the […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
