My recent posts have been detailing my war with the local rodent population. The battle has moved from the kitchen into the loft in recent weeks. During the loft insulation project several large holes were sealed trapping the enemy in the loft, numbers unknown. A clean kill and subsequent silence on the front lead me [...]

Those issues were resolved in the week following the F16 release. What I had not expected to break was my network printing setup. In all the years I used Gentoo and upgraded [...]

Both upgraded fine and the Gnome 3 experience was ok, if a little strange. The problems started with my [...]

Yesterday I finally completed my modifications to the current version of the site theme. Ever since I modified the date formatting the look had been inconsistent with some page layouts breaking. Hopefully all should be working again. Time to get back to making some worthwhile content.

The mailserver project which I have been working on for many months now is getting to the point where it will soon be taking over the role of hosting all my email.

Deltanova has put on a little weight this weekend and not because of too much curry and beer. The change has taken place to enable the website to fit a 10″ netbook screen width. Displays smaller than this are nolonger common on desktop machines so it makes sense to make use of the greater screen [...]

Over the past couple of weeks I have been moving the mailserver project closer to being ready for actual use and another milestone has been passed. I have now reached the stage where my hotmail and gmail accounts are collected onto the server and made availiable via IMAP. This has not been without problems, I [...]
