* When one changes his/her email address, it behooves one to check the correct mailbox on the server. ( I now have a pool of about four addresses that I use)
* I think I am approaching the point of abandoning my original email address. I have had random@mo.net since the beginning. I’ve used the same email for over five years. (maybe longer, I don’t quite remember) Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of my email has become spam. I’ve been trying to use spam filtering with Gnus (based on the code that Charlie uses, but to no avail. Now I have a SPAM folder that gets approximately one third of the offending muck, and the rest still ends up in my INBOX. I may try to mess with the filtering a bit more before I give up, but at this point, it may simply be time to discard the offending address and start using one of my others as my primary.
* Once again, I have moved offices. I am still in the same building as the past two weeks, but now I’ve been moved to what may be a semi-permanent location. At least for the next six weeks. I’m back in a nice featureless gray cube again. Dilbert would be right at home here.
* Added a new subsection to the forums. I am halfway through my class on artificial intelligence, and thought that would be a great addition for the site. Also made some significant changes to the php code so that it integrates better into this site. So, I guess it’s more or less based on Phorum, instead of a straight use of there code. The guts are the same, I merely made some cosmetic changes.
* Also upgraded Mark’s forums to the latest version of Phorum
* I wonder if the people that continually try to hack this server realize that all of the transactions are being logged? You know, like IP address, host name, etc… for instance:
o 216.126.186.187 c3T2-187.015.popsite.net [07/Feb/2002]10:29 /scripts/root.exe?/c+dir
o 211.94.255.4 [07/Feb/2002] 04:47 /default.ida?NNNN%u9090%u678%u0000%u00=a
kind of silly, not to mention pointless. I guess I should start forwarding this kind of stuff on to the authorities..
