This is fairly well documented on the apache site - but you have to pull info together from a few pages and the importance of virtual servers is easy to miss.

Most of my mail is delivered by smtp directly to me, but my secondary max records cause some mail to be delivered to a POP3 mailbox- this is then retrieved using spamassasin.

I’ve long been impressed with the wayback machine and found it very useful to find things that have disappeared from the rest of the Internet.

I use cvs a lot in software development and find it a real life saver to be able to restore any file I have been working on at any point in it’s history. This really helps me to find out when and why things went wrong, saving me from making the same mistakes again.

At work we recently redesigned our website: the old design was created in front page and made heavy use of tables, font tags, fixed size divs and a smattering of css. The new design is pure CSS using CSS hacks to workaround bugs in various browsers.

The old design had only ever been tested in MSIE and was a little quirky in other browsers, tables based layouts always seem to look more or less the same though. Mind you when there was a problem it would take me hours of trwling through nested tables to find and fix it.

This is one of those tasks that I do infrequently and forget how it work…

I just got a nice big new monitor !

The command is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Having been running spamassassin at home with great success for some time, I have just set it up at work but had a few problems setting up a new Debian Linux box for this from scratch.

I found that spam was just not being detected nearly as well as at home, and the machine was struggling with the load (load average around 3).
