Al: a blog about bikes and stuff.

  • Morgins Mail

    I spent a little time this morning sorting out some issues with mail on Morgins. Filtering now works (#Exim Filter does anyway), so you can create a .forward file in $home and send your spam elsewhere… — al@morgins ~ $ cat .forward # Exim filter if $h_X-Spam_bar: CONTAINS “+++++” then save $home/.maildir/.Spam/ finish endif —…

  • Colo Update

    Although its not nice to see someone get frustrated, this made me happy that and I were right to move out of Mailbox. Morgins is happily running in Manchester, I need to fix email tagging with spamd, its working, then not and I can’t figure it out. I also need to work out how to…

  • Wonder if he missed the goal…

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4660644.stm – Now to me that does look awfully close, even with perspective etc…

  • Beer and chips

    I have turned into a lightweight. Not drinking for a month means that a couples of gin and tonics and a bottle of beer later, I can loose 10quid at poker and still have time to drink more beer. Rah. Thanks to and for being hosts and everyone else for letting me play bad poker…

  • Avoriaz move

    Avoriaz has changed IPs. I have changed any records I have access to change, but if I can’t change your DNS then you need to. Avoriaz is now in my flat. I have a new colo box in Manchester that everything is moving too. Fun fun!

  • New Apple stuff

    So, today saw Steve Jobs’ keynote at SF MacWorld. I didn’t expect iMacs, but they look cool. The FM remote thing for the iPod would be great, but you need a 5G/Nano for it, why? Bastards. Also in the bastard cat, the new MacBookPro… it looks lurvley, but get this. US price, 1999 USD. UK…

  • Tiger

    Well, I bought Tiger for my iBook (finally). The DVD was on my desk this morning. Sadly mu iBook doesn’t have a DVD drive, so… run with iPods! http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-122236.html

  • Phones, again…

    So, I narrowed my choice down and decided I rather liked the Sony Ericsson W800i, despite it being rather orange. Trouble is, I tried one and the UI is, errr, horrible. Now I realize I should spend longer trying to get used to it and that after 5years with Nokia’s I am going to be…

  • Phones

    Well, my mobile phone contract is up for renewal so I can get a new phone for no additional cost (I know its not free, I know I pay over the period of the contract, yadda yadda ;)). So, what to get? Well, whilst I was away last I came to be wanting a much…

  • Coffee pods

    So, assuming I need 44mm coffee pods (for an Uno:Uno machine, with an adapter) where do people suggest I buy coffee from?

Got any bike recommendations?
