mu.nu - It's mackerel stewed in chocolate!

Mrbl

Man there's a lot of work involved getting this server set up.

Moo!

The current server had already been running for several months before I started adding people to it, so I'd kind of forgotted.

But it will be so worth it once it's done. Much more manageable and configurable and faster and workinger.

Zoom zoom!

Hey, I wonder who I'm logged in as right now...

Hey, there's no ant on this server, dammit! I'll have to build PostgreSQL without Java support for now.

Update: Well, PostgreSQL is happy now. Eximstats needed a bit of beating about the head, but that's sorted out too. Next up, MRTG.

Help?

Ok, folks--help me out here. I got two emails "returned" to me that

#1 I never sent
#2 were returned because they had an email worm.

To wit:

***********************
A virus (WORM_MIMAIL.R) was detected in the file (data.zip/data.doc
.exe). Action taken = remove
***********-***********

The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a
binary attachment.

and
***********************
The file (file.zip/file.doc
.pif) was infected with the WORM_MIMAIL.R computer virus. The following action
has been taken: remove.
***********-***********

The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary
attachment.

The attachment (file.zip) was infected with a virus and has been deleted.

Anybody know a "adam@ergon.com.au" or "bob@hpcl.co.in"? 'Cuz I sure don't...

Tim? Where's Tim?

Tim seems to have pulled a Collins. Shall we start calling the local gaols?

Or is it "jail" in Canuckland? Damn! Why can't everyone speak American?

New New Mu Nu

The new uncursed MuNu server is ready - or so the little tech support birdy told me.

As soon as Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch has stopped clogging up my bandwidth, I'll be logging in and having a little play around.

Update: I notice that the new new server has 80GB disks instead of the 60GB disks I actually paid for. Should I mention that? Since it would cost them more in time to swap them out than the disks are worth, I doubt they'd care much at this point.

Update: It's alive! Watch for updates.

Ban this IP

62.213.67.122

This nuckfut just dared to put porn spam in MuNu comments! Sound the alarums! Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!

It's one of those increasingly irritating jobs where they put in the name of a classic writer or whatever, use a quote as the body of the comment (which of course has nothing to do with the content of the post) and the url is for a porn site. I've already deleted the comment.

The Problem With That

The problem with having your granddaughter post articles from a hundred years in the future is that they will forever be at the top of your main index.

I'll have to tweak things a bit, I think. Come Tuesday.

In case no one has noticed yet...

...USURP (United Society of Unusually Responsible People) seems to be up and ready for contributions from the URPs!

The Mu.nu Oath of Allegiance

Just for fun:

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign blog server at which I have heretofore been a blogger;

that I will support and defend the cow puppies against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;

that I will bear arms, legs and boobs on behalf of Munuvia if and whenever I feel like it;

that I will perform combatant service in the Special Forces of Munuvia when required by the appearance of spammers;

that I will perform work of rational importance under civilian direction when required by the appearance of trolls;

and that I pledge this allegiance freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of avoision; so help me Blog.


I'll keep working on it. Shall we have a ceremony?

New Mu Nu Are Poo

The techies have given up on the new Mu Nu server. Having updated and patched the kernel, changed the filesysem, tested with and without software RAID, swapped out one of the disk drives and replaced the memory, we have come to the conclusion that the server is cursed.

They are now assembling a new (non-cursed) server. If anyone would care to sacrifice a chicken, it might not go amiss.

Update: The new machine is built and the techies are curently running some tests. Hope that pork chop did the trick, Susie!

Munuvian Citizenship

I have officially given up my dual blog citizenship. The BlogSpot archives have been moved and headlines, links, and comments updated. All that is left at the original url is a one line post pointing to the mu.nu site.

Howard Dean Song

I wrote a brief song about Howard Dean, and you can hear it here. I just re-saved it as MP3. Have fun.

I think I can, I think I can...

I'm chugging along towards 100,000 hits and am having a little contest to see who can guess when I'll get there.

Come one, come all. Your first shot is free! Every player a guaranteed winner!

Well, okay. You only get one shot. And most of the players are guaranteed to lose. But it is free! And let's face it - that's all that really matters, isn't it?

IP Addresses

I just removed a seriously nasty comment from my site and-for the first time ever-banned an IP address. But is there a site I can check with his IP address to find out where he comes from? A real tosser, this guy.

Nice place for template

If you are lazy, like me, this site has some nice templates you can use and customize for yourself. It's called Moveable Style.

It's a Popularity Contest, After All

Also, which of the mu.nu blogs are the most popular (in terms of visits)?

And is there a better measuring device than Site Meter?

Linky Love

Technorati, while being a fine web device, seems to be missing links that I know are out there. Is there another web site that can tell me who has linked to me?

Nothing to see, move along. (Whistles innocently.)
