I had to accelerate the server move for spamgourmet - the hard drive on the old server was starting to throw off "SMART" errors - a sure sign it was in the late autumn of its working life. We had a couple of bumps in the way of connection starvation (*@!#@! bots!), missing environment info, etc., but overall it's going well and exim is holding up astonishingly well.

cpan is the best

there was what I can only guess was a gay pride parade in the neighborhood last Saturday night (checking... yump...) - on Sunday morning (prior to the !warriors!), Josiah and I rode our bikes to El Paraiso for migas and saw a bunch of rainbow flags, confetti, and flamboyant floats parked haphazardly everywhere.
if CPAN were human and heterosexual, CPAN would think signs like this were funny and not be offended.
do I seem stressed? This CPAN thing is really bugging me. I had another failed module last week, but I was convinced it was the module ( IPTables::IPv4 ) that was busted and not the manager. Indeed the module was busted (based on unpublished former API), but... |

terra cotta warriors

On Sunday, Josiah and I went and saw the terra cotta warriors exhibit that's here in town. This picture is of a replica - they didn't want you to take any pics of the real ones (fear of flashes?) I tried to anyway with my flashless cell, but it didn't come out well.
CPAN is sort of like Ying Zheng, only benevolent and actually immortal (or so I thought).

cpan deprecated?

ok if this works, I'm feeling dated - I tried to install the Image::Magick library on my new debian box using the venerated and awesome CPAN module which is and always will be the bitch-slapping grandpa of all package managers and it couldn't build the library. I went to aptitude and installed a package called 'perlmagick' and now it works? Seems not cool to me - what's up with this?
we adopted this kitten from the pound - they had already named him Dreyfuss, and we're keeping it, only now his middle name is CPAN. He's deadly and quick and attacking and it hurts. |

testing new box and exim

everything's moved over to the new debian/exim box, and seems to be working great - I just set up the rules for my phone based blog posts and now I'm testing. I like my blog. It's like twitter for one.
rats - aspects of CPAN seem broken on debian etch, and I can't get Image::Magick installed, which means no image posts, which means this is even more like twitter :)
