Geeky Indulgence

[livejournal.com profile] kent4str and [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr went to Baltimore to call & dance with the Chesapeake Squares last night, leaving the house in my happy hands. What did I do with my new-found power & freedom? Worked on my Linux server!

In a nutshell, I upgraded Sendmail, SpamAssassin and ClamAV on the SuSE Linux box, then persuaded all of them to play nicely with each other. With the addition of a little end-point sorting and a series of test e-mails to confirm all is well, I've diverted a huge amount of spam out of my active mailboxes into text files elsewhere. Yay!

Funny how 3-4 hours of intense concentration and mental slogging can be compressed down to a single paragraph. *sigh*

You and Danny are virtually twins in the ability to entertain yourself with computer play.

Don't we call that streamlining?

Remember when we used to refer to multitasking as "attention deficit disorder?" :-)

No, but I'm now aware that others did. :)
