Now a days it is easy to get your code written by an editor, but are you learning how things really work? Very well written statement. Also do not forget about following standard compliance, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Interesting read, that should be passed on to certain people.
I’m happy to say that my name and one of my web sites was mentioned on the podcast show called MommyCast episode #29, “The Week Before School”. It may seem silly to some but to me it’s nothing more exciting to hear your name and web site mentioned on a show that is broad casted world wide. I hope parents and children get to enjoy the web site I originally created for my children. The web site is called “The Kid’s Bookmarks” and can be found at http://www.adamsdesk.com/kidsbookmarks/. The web site was created for children in the age range of 2 to 8 (suggested ages). The site was designed with the following goals in mind, visual identity of web site, readability for those that can read, hand/eye mouse coordination and learning how browse the Internet in an safer environment. Since each link is open in it’s own browser window with most the the menu gone this ensures the children will get back to where they started by just closing the window. You can read further about the site and my message to parents by going to Statement to Parents and Information About Web Site page.
Please feel free to send in your comments and suggestions. I would love to read them.

After selling unopened copies of Windows XP and Office that both the store and Microsoft refused to allow him to return, 21 year-old college student David Zamos was surprised to find out that he’d been sued by Microsoft. Rather than just take it, he fought back, beating Microsoft into submission without so much as hiring a lawyer.
This is a very cool Google Maps use to find the other side of the world when digging a hole. As children we always wonder where one would end up. It was always said you would end up in China but why I have no idea as of course this is not true. Find the real truth by using this Google Maps application.
I have a OpenBSD 3.7 i386 server setup to use Sendmail for outgoing only. Sendmail is in default configuration with only modifications to the mail aliases (/etc/mail/aliases).
I recently started noticing that I was not receiving any emails from the server. Right away I went and looked at my /var/log/maillog to see what was going on and also checked /var/spool/mqueue and /var/spool/mqueue. I noticed two things in the maillog it referred to “DSN: Service unavailable” and “dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable” and noticed a huge amount of emails sitting in my /var/spool/clientmqueue directory.
As usual I went to Google to see if I could find an answer but was having difficulty. So I went to IRC EFNet #OpenBSD channel. With some help by NicM and amonk I was able to resolve the problem. Thanks guys. The problem lies in how you have your /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Here’s what I did.
I removed any reference to localhost.domain.com in my hosts file and then also replaced ALL:LOCAL with ALL: 127.0.0.1 in my hosts.allow. The combination of the two caused the emails to not pass through. As soon as these changes were done email started passing through. If for some reason based on your configuration of those three files (hosts/hosts.allow/hosts.deny) this does not resolve you can add sendmail: localhost in your hosts.allow file. If this doesn’t resolve the problem use the below recommend resources I found useful.
Resource: Enhanced Mail System Status Codes (rfc 1893) - Look up status code meaning (i.e. 5.0.0).
Resource: MTP Service Extension for Returning Enhanced Error Codes (rfc 2034)
Resource: Web Server Talk > Email Servers > Sendmail support > DSN: Service Unavailable
Now this is amusing. This is one way to deal with your children if you find them stealing.

This is old news by now but I had to comment on this because it just blew me away.
I came across this article talking about the lost of computer systems in the British government. This is obscured amount of missing computer systems. 153 lost last year alone and 23 lost this year. I’m sorry but this is udderly ridiculous. I would be demanding as to why this is happening and what is going to be done about it. There should be no reason for this occurring, period! Maybe I’m out to lunch of internal/external theft within a organization but please there must be something that can be done. It’s great that the numbers has been dramatically reduced however stating that this is “similar in percentage terms to any large organization” and stating that they have policies to encrypt the data so it’s safe. Come on people, encryption can be broken especially for a price. It’s nice they have such a policy but lets get things straight here.

I found the exercise guides to be so well done and an excellent reference that I had to tell everyone I could that might be interested. The exercise guides with pictures and videos are available for free. No catches at least as of the post of this blog.
If anyone else knows of a good exercise web sites similar to this please post a comment to let us all know.

This is one of the best posts/articles I’ve found for a beginner to read that explains regular expressions and how they work using the Apache module, mod_rewrite. Even if you are not interested in mod_rewrite this is still a good read to understand regular expressions.
