Abandoned? No, just ignored....

Anyone who has looked here in the last few months (OK, last 8 months...) would think I've abandoned the place. Not quite true...noidea.us is still my primary email domain, and I've thought about a lot of things I'd write about, if the time presented itself. Well, the time still hasn't made itself available (funny,the way that works), but I figured I should at least note that I'm still alive, still working, still researching malware, and learning how to be a dad. I guess running blogs on three different sites can be a bit...well...absurd? On the plus side, I have managed to finally upgrade my mail server....it's a major hardware shift from a PII-400 to a Sempron 2800+, and 384MB to 1GB of RAM. I can now run all those wonderful spam filters that I just didn't have the resources to handle before. It also went from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 4. The old server was actually just a test box I was using to play with Postfix, Amavisd-new and Dovecot; it got pressed into live service after resetting all the hardware after hurricane Rita a couple of years ago when the Shuttle SV-24 died (of a notorious blown caps issue). I was unable to keep much of the filtering running because of the RAM requirements, and thus was making do with only Postfix's RBL checks and Policyd greylisting service. Now it's all running, and I'm much happier with the systems.... Final note, I'm now also an admin/developer for PluggedOut Blog, the blog script that runs this site.
