Successfully installed the mail server. That's the last of the drudgery. Should be pretty smooth sailing from here.

My connectivity has been seriously degraded. I'm working on getting it sorted out, but I've been mostly offline for a day and it will probably last for a day or two more. I apologize if anyone has been trying to reach me.
Just received my Quickerteck Wi-Fi antenna. Pretty expensive for what it is. And the connection is awkwardly made through a wire that sticks out of the PC Card slot on the side of the PowerBook. But it does work. My flakey connection is now completely solid and I can see several other access points that I couldn't see before. I guess that is mostly what matters.
I don't think anyone uses it, but just for the record my @inch.com email is no more.
Every time I get fed up with still having a crappy phone from the 18th century and prepare to hold my nose and just buy something better, even though nothing perfect is out right now, I will run across some rumor about a perfect phone that is about to be released. And thus the wait continues. It's really been a long time now since the Treo 600 died.
But wait I must, because some day one of these rumors is going to come true. Like maybe this one: Treo 800p out on March 15?
Current features in the 800p will include 128MB RAM, a WiFi option, SD card, BT 2, EVDO of course, enhanced 320x320 screen, slimmer form factor and antenna, will use the same accessories as the 650, 3.2 MP camera.Shazam. That is the one. Nice nice nice. Praying this is true. And hopefully they don't mean 3/15/2007!
Very easy instructions for setting up secure email over unsecured wireless networks using the free SSH Tunnel Manager program.
Wow, it's my dream. I can connect to multiple base stations from the new WHQ. And on the strongest one a shared iTunes account pops up in my iTunes called 'the girl next door'. How cool is that? It's either the person with the connection I am sharing, or it is another person sharing that same connection. In any case: thanks! Nice collection.
That would be good geek valentine text: I want to be on your subnet.
As part of an ongoing effort to confuse our many enemies we have successfully moved World Headquarters to a new undisclosed location. All I can say is it's pretty nice down here.
Well, possibly I did it! God it's fun to make a break through. Not so much fun before that point though.
Now I have to wait to find out if I'm right or not. I believe I now have two running DNS servers (ns1.datamantic.com and ns2.datamantic.com.) I took an old domain not in use (but live on the server in ca) and pointed it at the datamantic.com name servers where I created a new zone file for the domain which points to the new server.
So when the the dns change I made (at the registrar where the domain was registered) propagates out through the global dns system people requesting that domain should start being redirected to the new server. Could be a few hours, or could be 2 days. Probably less than a day though.
Getting that to work is the most difficult, and least interesting task out of this whole project. So I will be very happy if this all works.
I just emailed my first question to the CentOS list. I've been lurking for a few months. Hopefully someone will answer instead of yelling at me for asking something stupid.
