Dreaming of Bones

So, I’m addicted to the TV show Bones!

Last night I dreamed I was watching it.  Somehow a dead body ended up in Will Smith’s pool (yes the actor).  It was green from the algae.  I remember Dr. Brennan wanted to get some drudged from the bottom of the pool so that Dr. Hodges could examine it for particulates.  I also distinctly remember wanted to know what he found.  However, the dreamed ended before I could find out. :roll:


On Mail and Movies

This week, I’ve been reading up on Sendmail. It’s a mail transport agent for Unix type OS. The documentation is convoluted and complicated making it difficult to get SMTP up and running fast. Or maybe it’s just me. I borrowed Daniel’s O’Reilly book on Sendmail written by the author. It’s no help. I got frustrated with it and started to search the HOW-TO’s on how to setup SMTP and POP3. Most of them recommened qmail. So I started to read the docs on it. Well, last night, I was successfully in getting the earth box act as a SMTP and POP3 serve (oooo, but it wasn’t easy). YAH!!! Thing though, it’s not recieving mail from host of campus. =(

The urgency in getting a SMTP and POP3 server configured because TuskegeebInternet, a local ISP shop in Tuskegee, AL, has requested my help in helping them get their email server back up and running. Their whole ISP setting is running on two linux boxes. One is the web and email server and the other is the dial up and something or other server. Their email server is down, and they need help to get it back online. The thing is, I didn’t know a thing about sendmail (I just assumed it was running it) and how to set it up, though it was on a list of goals I wanted to learn, and I still want to learn it.

I saw Fight Club last night. It was….. OK. I actually liked the movie until the point where Tyler was actually the guys alter pyscho personality. I believe the movie would have been better if the anti Tyler was actually a real person. That would have created a more interesting conflict to me.
